Did you know, while you are flying in an airplane, your hair grows at twice rate it usually does. Thats why you seem to need more haircuts when you have been traveling a lot.

You type 1 or type 2, smitty?
Type 2 I just about got the foot ulcer under control and the skin that was pushed away from the toe that was due to the swelling is reattaching and turning pink again. Just takes a lot of cleaning with saline, Hydrogen Peroxide, Aloe Vera, and triple antibiotic. @anon35207245
Was curious, what do they say the prognosis for the type 2 is as I killed mine off in 8 months. Obviously I have to be strict on sugars, but luckily it was caught quick enough and I donât need to take any medication for diabetes at all now.
Obviously I donât know your exact circumstances,.but it is possible you could do similar as itâs known that T2 can be âcuredâ.
But one tip is to hit the CBD and hit it hard, as CBD is a known vasodilator which will help the blood flow and should help the recovery.

Being a vasodilator is one thing, itâs also an anti-inflammatory which can reduce the inflammation of the blood vessels associated with metabolic syndrome and T2.
The effects are so beneficial, the Israelis have been developing CBD as a part of the treatment for T2.
Then thereâs the magic one. Why do people get the munchies after toking? Answer, their blood sugar levels drop. CBD will help in that respect too.
These are the main effects of CBD regarding T2, there are others, but the evidence from countless studies cannot be ignored.
You ainât got squat to lose, and potentially a hell of a lot to gain.

@anon35207245 I am T2 and am a heavy smoker (weed) and currently my Doc is weaning me off of my insulin to oral only. I am down to 8u a day from another Doc who had me as high as 90u morn and 80u bedtime I was horribly overmedicated which was causing my BS to increase, no one would believe me when I tried to tell them, and by gawd I was right!

Sounds like something I am going to do. There is a local dispensary that is near me and delivers for free. I think they open at 11:00 pt gonna give them a text.
Thanks again! @anon35207245
I never got as far as insulin, only metformin. But, as I say, I was lucky and it was caught early. Started off on 4 x 850mg when I was in hospital in August, then that went to 3 when I left hospital a week later, down to two per day in January then zero since April just by changing diet and losing 50lb of blubber.
I got lucky as there was no symptoms whatsoever until my foot blew up like a balloon, and since I was in hospital when the diagnosis came through there was all the âexpertsâ necessary at my disposal so that evil disease didnât get a real grip.

Heres a fun fact for ya!
Did you know that in some Native American cultures, crickets are considered good luck charms, symbols of prosperity because of the fact that they lay hundreds of eggs and because of their amazing leaping ability.
If a cricket crosses your path then, consider yourself lucky, or if a cricket is chirping right inside your house. That is unless youâre in northern Brazil where the chirping of a cricket is said to signify death and so it is immediately killed. Interesting differences in the beliefâs of different cultures. Myself being primarily Native American (Cherokee) my belief falls to them being a sign of good Luck!
Have a blessed day everyone! @highcountrygal
