My personal activities, successfully self managing my diabetes.
The fight continues!!!! Indeed!!! Aahhhgggghhhh!!!! (that’s a primal scream by the way) :) The North Carolina Trial Court dismissed my lawsuit against the North Carolina Board of Dietetics and Nutrition because it ruled that I was not ‘injured’ by the government’s action. The law firm that is representing me (Institute for Justice) …
To the average person I often seem ‘crazy’. When the world is turned upside down, there is no virtue in ‘normal’. In a crazy world: Sanity, reason and a love for nature can appear to be… crazy. Eating only ‘real foods’ and refusing to eat foods that are toxic to me… is called ‘crazy’. Standing …
My first post since May … my apologies for the long delay. Much has happened since May. I won’t go into the investigation and my lawsuit against the state of NC in this post … I’ll try to write an update on that topic soon. What this post IS about … an update on ‘Steve’. …
This experiment is one of my favorites. I’m testing to see if I am still insulin resistant. I tested my insulin resistance with an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) using two different scenarios.
After following a ‘low carb paleo’ meal plan and lifestyle for a couple of years, I decided to perform a Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT). I’d been following a paleo or primal lifestyle and I wanted to test to see how my body would respond. Why? Ultimately to see if I was still diabetic, at …

Diabetes & Exercise, what you need to know. Exercise is an important tool in your diabetes toolkit, you should know how to use it.
I received a letter from the North Carolina Board of Dietetics and Nutritionists stating that I am in ‘substantial compliance’ with NC Law. The letter was dated April 9, 2012 and I received it April 20, 2012. If this is new to you, click here for the investigation post. In January, the state board opened …

When diabetics follow a high carb, grain-based diet they face the harmful and dangerous diabetes ‘roller coaster’, with soaring highs…and crashing lows. The medical industry diets can not TOUCH THIS!
I always eat a very low carb paleo meal plan but I wanted to go strict paleo “all the way”. To do so I eliminated as many of the potentially inflammatory agents, namely nightshades , dairy and eggs.
This is NOT an April Fool’s post… it is NOT. If you eat and move as I do… I will all but guarantee it will add years to your life and add life to your years. I am doing another experiment. You can see previous posts on it here “Intro” “Week One” for all …
Half Way, 30 Day, Very Low Carb, Strict Paleo – Update Read More »
Yeah… I know, the title was meant to be intriguing. The title is accurate … I am primal and I did lose some blood. :) I love to ‘push the envelope’ … I love to do things that most can not do or that people do not expect ‘diabetics’ to do. I love to prove …
In short, the experiment is to see if adhering to a strict very ‘low carb paleo’ meal plan for 30 days would affect my insulin sensitivity. In other words, can low carb paleo cure diabetes?
There is a nagging question that needs to be answered…. and I am going to take care of this once and for all. First… some background I am not going to bore you with my story (click here for the short version, click here for the long version). In short, I successfully “self treat” my …
With so much pain and suffering world wide … why do so many continue to listen to the American Diabetes Association and their world wide partners? I DO NOT!!! And I thrive.
As part of the update I wanted to let you know, I have three very important dates in my ‘primal life‘. 2/15/2009 – Diabetes Diagnosis, in the hospital after an ambulance ride 2/18/2009 – Day of Hospital Discharge 8/1/2009 – The day I went ‘fully primal’ after reading Mark Sisson’s website MarksDailyApple.com, specifically this post, “Definitive …
The key to living a long and fruitful life, diabetes complication free, is learning to manage diabetes properly. You properly manage diabetes by obtaining and maintaining truly normal blood sugars.
Three years ago today I received news that would alter my ‘life path’, a diabetes diagnosis. Life changing events can come in many forms… some events are the equivalent of being hit in the head with a ‘2 x 4’ … some are more subtle. The diabetes diagnosis was definitely a ‘2 x 4’ moment. I’ll …
I have not posted a blog post this MONTH!!! What is UP with that??? No matter what you may be thinking… it’s NOT a direct result of the “Investigation“. The investigation is a distraction no doubt… but it has in NO WAY quieted my tongue… or tempered my language. If you have …
I have MUCH TO SAY about the investigation… unfortunately I have not had time to put all my thoughts together into something that resembles a ‘cohesive’ post. I know what you are thinking… “Steve! That never stopped you before!!” ;) If you are unaware of this site’s investigation… “Click Here” but in brief, my ‘diabetic …
