Just incase anyone wants to argue the tofu, nuts or soy for protein angle. Vitamin B-12 is found in one thing found in the world naturally, animal fat. To sum it up, eat animals, cause they're tasty and needed.
So is becoming a vegan When you cut red meat specifically out of your diet you get right of a vitamin called B-12. Which stimulates brain cells and motor function cells to be specific. To sum it up, becoming a vegan over an extended time will turn you into a vegetable, no pun intended.Merly's right on the money with the injections. Its just sub-cutaneous, pinch an inch or two and you're good to go into that. Belly's easiest to get to, you can also do the backs of your arms, top of your thighs, or your butt if you can twist that much without killing yourself.
No diabetic is ever placed on the Atkins diet. What Atkins does is basically fool your pancreas into thinking it *is* diabetic. Its a fucked up diet, and I /flail at anyone I learn wants to try it cause its dangerous as hell long-term. But that's a rant for another day.
Type 1's inject insulin, cause our pancreases no longer produce insulin at all. Type 2's are able to control it with diet or oral drugs, because their pancreases still *work*, just in a diminished capacity.
Hit me over the head when you know more, we can talk shop then. And quit freaking out in the meantime Stressing over a test result you can't control is wasted energy. I know not knowing is the skeery bit, just keep on keepin' on as you are until you hear different is all I'm saying. And don't worry about "giving things up" either. Moderation is the key if that comes back positive.
