[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to DurgaPrasadKaturi]

HOBIEONE is another Administrator from the DRWF group; which is also on HU.

Doctors?? Can you please explain what you want to know? Do you want to know if a specific person will be attending?

[Activity2004 Administrator]

Good morning everyone. Are we ready to start the meeting?

[Hidden]

Hi

[Activity2004 Administrator]

I want to start by thanking both HOBIEONE and lfn1 for the help on both groups (HE and DI) while I was on my vacation.

[patliputra]

I am also present.

[patliputra in reply to patliputra]

I am not getting any feedback.

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to patliputra]

Had to type.

[Activity2004 Administrator]

I would also like to thank cure and Hidden for keeping everything up and running.

[lfn1]

I am present.

[suramo Star]

Hi everybody

[Activity2004 Administrator]

I would like to go to number 2 on the agenda. I have noticed that there has been some respect of others and comments that haven't been okay lately. Everyone should feel comfortable to say and write what they need/want, but be considerate of the other member's feelings. No one should feel like they are being disrespected.

[patliputra in reply to Activity2004]

Any particular reference?

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to patliputra]

Other members have been telling me.

[patliputra in reply to Activity2004]

Did they report ?

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to patliputra]

Some did on Healthy Eating. I saw the reports while I was away in the inbox.

[Activity2004 Administrator]

Does anyone have any questions on this subject?

[Activity2004 Administrator]

If there are no other questions on the subject, we will go to the update on New Members and the list.

[Activity2004 Administrator]

As for the New Members List, I will be working on that later today and try to set up the new list for September soon. We have a lot of new members for all the groups.

[Activity2004 Administrator]

Saying that, I would like to have everyone welcome the new members whenever you see their postings/comments.

[patliputra in reply to Activity2004]

Response coming very slow.

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to patliputra]

You might have to refresh the page.

[patliputra in reply to Activity2004]

How to refresh?

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to patliputra]

Go to the top of the computer screen and look for an arrow that next to the right arrow. Click the round arrow and it will refresh the page.

[Activity2004 Administrator]

Dealing with spam, there were some postings/comments recently related to medication that can be the 'cure' for diabetes. When there is a cure, I and everyone else will let you know. Some of these postings weren't even posted on the diabetes-related groups. We don't want anyone getting false/fake information and getting everyone's hopes up.

[Activity2004 Administrator]

I saw this exact type of positng/spam yesterday evening before I had to go to bed.

[Activity2004 Administrator]

Any questions on the spam issues?

[Activity2004 Administrator]

Does anyone have any concerns about any issues? Do you want to bring up any ideas?

[Activity2004 Administrator]

Has anyone had any glitches recently while using HU?

[Activity2004 Administrator]

If you have any, let us know and we will let HU know.

[patliputra in reply to Activity2004]

No body is responding.

[Activity2004 Administrator]

Hidden ,

Would you like to say something?

[Hidden]

None activity

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to Hidden]

Okay. Anyone else?

[Activity2004 Administrator]

lfn1 ,

Do you have anything to add?

[lfn1 in reply to Activity2004]

Nothing to add but an interesting way to meet and get business done.

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to lfn1]

Thank you for saying that. We try!

[Activity2004 Administrator]

alwaysoptimistic and suramo ,

Do you have anything to add or bring up? Ideas?

[patliputra in reply to Activity2004]

😀😀😀

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to patliputra]

Did you have any ideas, patliputra ?

[patliputra in reply to Activity2004]

If someone says that diabetes can be cured,does it amount to spam ?

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to patliputra]

Yes, for right now. Researchers are still trying to work on ways to cure it. But, until that is proven to actually happen and work, we have to wait and see. There was a person who 'invented' a watch that could give a blood sugar reading through a person's sweat years ago. That turned out to be a con and the guy took people's money-- no watch really existed.

[Hidden in reply to Activity2004]

As of now

Cure for diabetes = Conning people

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to Hidden]

That's right, Hidden . Sad, but true.

[lfn1 in reply to Activity2004]

Could I add that perhaps the best word to use is "diabetes into remission"? Remission (n.) temporary diminution of the severity of disease or pain. Syn: Respite or Abeyance

Those of us who work ourselves off of meds and restore our health are still classified as diabetes, however, in remission which means if we are careless, we risk going back on meds. There are some wonderful cases where people have broken free of the meds but must always keep their fitness levels of nutrition and exercise balance.

[Hidden in reply to lfn1]

👍

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to lfn1]

Remission is a good word, but what about the type 1 diabetics? Type 1 has to keep on insulin all the time.

[lfn1 in reply to Activity2004]

It is unfortunate for T1s in this area, however, there have been some great case studies where islet transplants to the liver have rendered T1s whose control was devastating to having their body produce insulin. They must go on special meds but their insulin production has made their life much better. They are still classified as having diabetes because this programme has not run enough time for a full evaluation (at least 30 years) [This started in Canada in 1999 by Drs Jonathan Lakey and James Shapiro - Look up "Edmonton Protocol"] and 17 T1s. Now there are a few research centres which have picked this up. I was at the Oxford University Hospital that dealt with Islet technology last year to witness their work. There is a long way to go but there is hope!

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to lfn1]

Does it work for a diabetic that has had too many islets and most of a pancreas removed by surgery?

[patliputra in reply to Activity2004]

I disagree with you. I have experience of several cases where diabetes was auto cured. Believe it or not.No text book mentions this type of diabetes.

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to patliputra]

Are you talking about type 1 or 2, patliputra ?

[patliputra in reply to Activity2004]

Type 2

[Activity2004 Administrator in reply to patliputra]

Okay. Thank you for clearing that up.

[Activity2004 Administrator]

The watch was called the Dream Beam.

[Activity2004 Administrator]

Does anyone else have anything to bring up? It is almost 12 noon here for me.

[Activity2004 Administrator]

Okay! Time for lunch now. Thank you everyone for attending. Next meeting will be announced in the next few weeks.

[cure Administrator]
