It is a hard struggle, but I truly believe that our battle with type 2 diabetes is nearly wholly human created by inactive lifestyles and improper eating. It's a difficult life, but we have to do what we can to help people who are struggling, suffering and dying from this disease. This disease touches every part of a person's health. It really is a killer. We can fight back. :)

Best wishes,
Karin 😁

Yes, I agree 100%.

Thank you for the thoughtful comments! :)

I've started four websites since I began, one of which I had already been working on for a few years. I've made a few sales on Amazon as an affiliate which is awesome.
I am in the Super Affiliate Challenge this year and it's a tough balancing act, but so far so good.

What about you? Are you in the challenge this year?

Best wishes,
Karin 😁

Yes, I am.

I am like a member of the Green Beret Unit! I am sure you feel the same.

Go back working on a website.

Have a great weekend and we will talk soon.

Cheers.

If I can be of any help, Linda. Let me know.

Best wishes,
Karin :)

Thanks, Phil. See you there!

Best wishes,
Karin 😁

You are amazing, Sharon! I was so touched by your story and just want you to know that I will help with what I can! I, too, was BBC! Love it! LOL

You can do this, though. The training is so thorough and if you don't understand something, the community here is so willing to help!

Best wishes,
Karin 😁

Thx I gather that. Kyle is amazing. As soon as u have a problem and ask for help, he's right there with assistance. Truly amazing!!!

That’s awesome that you are willing to share from your experiences. Each of us has unique gifts that we bring to this world and when we share to help others, all of our burdens become lighter!

Karin ☺️

Thank you very much for your kind comment! If there is anything I can assist you with, please let me know! :)

Best wishes,
Karin :)

Thank you, Lynn. One way I have dealt with that issue (like if i had to leave before I finished a reply) is to leave that page open on my computer. I don't know if that's the best way, but it does give me the opportunity to come back and finish later.

Best wishes,
Karin :)

Hey Karin!
That is exactly what I did. It was still open on the page and when I went to post my comment, it wouldn't post and I looked farther up on the page and your request for comment was no longer there. That's when I decided to post it on your website. Don't you just love technology????
If you have a chance, could you check out my new review/post at:
https://thenaturalwalk.com/aromafuse-diffuser-vs-aroma-spa-diffuser-a-comparison-review

Thanks! Have a blessed week!

Lynn

I do love technology! LOL... it's just like a kid...it has a mind of its own!
I checked out your review and left you a comment. Thanks!

Best wishes,
Karin :)

It sure does!!! Some people like my husband, Perrie, have the magic touch. He loves computers...

I appreciate you leaving me a comment. Thank you!!
Have a great week!!

Lynn

I wish you a great week, as well! :)

Best wishes,
Karin :)

Thanks, Greg. Hope all is well! I truly believe type 2 can be reversed, also.

Karin

You are very welcome!

I can say this much, things are finally starting to move forward again for me.

I struggled far too much with upgrading my niche to a new theme.

1) I took weeks to find a few things which interested me.
2) Then it took me a couple of weeks to make a decision.
3) Finally, I spent almost 2 more weeks trying to use the 'free' version of the theme I finally decided on to develop my website.

I finally gave up just the other day and purchased my theme for $29US. In about 3 hours I have got as much work on my website done as I did in almost 2 weeks when using the 'free' version of my theme.

During all this time I put my training on hold.

I feels great to finally be looking forward again.

Wishing you total success!

Greg

I'm glad things are moving forward for you again, Greg! Sometimes those bumps in the road can turn into mountains. It's good to see that you kept going despite the difficulties. That's what leads to success.

Best wishes,
Karin :)

Thank you!

So true and success is going to happen for both of us.

Greg

I believe it 100%!

Best wishes,
Karin :)

You are welcome, Leonard! And thank you for the comments about local news reporting. I feel my job is very important. As I always tell our new hires—"We are recording the history of our area. Without us, there wouldn't be a written record to go back to in the years to come."

Best wishes,
Karin :)

Thank you for your well wishes and for the return follow. I have been exploring the ketogenic diet for some time now. It is a very difficult plan for me to follow, but I am still working on it. Thank you and I hope that your website will help many! :)

Best wishes,
Karin :)

Update, I think I figured it out! After I hit "Follow" your web sites were revealed.

Hi Ken. I actually don't have that one listed yet because it's still a work in progress and wanted to wait until I had it more "ready" for the world! :)
It seems like the doctors always choose to try medications first. Ugh...
Glad you are back and thanks for the follow!

Best wishes,
Karin :)

Thanks for connecting, Susan. Once you get the techie stuff mastered you will be doing great. There are a lot of people here, too, that can help with a lot of your questions, so don't be afraid to ask.

Best wishes,
Karin :)

Thank you Jason. Things are going well. I hope for you, as well!

Best wishes,
Karin :)

Thank you, Dave. I will get back to you soon! Thanks for the return follow.

Best wishes,
Karin :)

Thank you Cathrin!

How difficult to have had him be diagnosed with Type 1 so young in life. How has he done with it over the years?

Best wishes,
Karin :)

Well.... it has been ups and downs really.

The first few years, and up to the age of 12, was relatively straightforward. Then, I got to help him when needed, even though there were some protests there too. But from 12 years of age and up to, about 18, has been a struggle to be honest.

Fortunately, they grow up one day and that has been a relief for me as a mom ;-)
We never stop worrying, us mothers, no matter how grown up our children are. ;-)

Life is full of challenges, but I believe that this makes us stronger.

Have a great day, Karin.


Cathrin

Thanks for sharing, Cathrin. I have been watching this series on iThrive about diabetes... It's just an all around horrible disease. I know there are answers out there and as I uncover them, I will be posting them on my site. This disease is scary.

I am glad your son is doing better with things now. It is so hard to be young and want to do things and not be able to or want to fight against the ones trying to help you.

My mom and dad still worry about me, too! I guess that is very true.

Ah, challenges!

Best wishes,
Karin :)

Thank you, Robert. I think I am already following most if not all of them already! I wish there were more hours in the day so I could review all of the training they have provided!

Best wishes,
Karin :)

That’s Awesome. Just take everything in steps.

I started off with a website built around my passion - sports betting education.

And it’s earning about $200 a month in passive income:
www.prosportsgamblers.com

Whatever your passion is, you can definitely monetize it with the training found in WA

Wish you all the best.

Robert

Keep your strong outlook! I am sorry to hear about your oldest grandson. I think I would feel lost. But you are choosing a very healthy place to heal and to focus on more positive things! The community here is very caring and helpful. Know that you have made a good choice and reach out if you ever need help or need to talk. :)

Best wishes,
Karin :)

Thank you for your kind words and offer of help! I may need it, so I'll keep you in mind. And for sure, If I find a cure, I will be more than happy to share with the world.

Best wishes,
Karin :)

I hope that you find all you need here at WA. Thank you for the return follow! I am hoping to get the site to where I want it soon!

Best wishes,
Karin :)

Yes, you have it right. If I can be of any assistance, please don't hesitate to ask!

Best wishes,
Karin :)

Thank you so much for your encouragement!

Best wishes,
Karin :)

Thanks, Age!
I am loving it here at Wealthy Affiliate! Thanks for the return follow!

I look forward to seeing your successes!

Best wishes,
Karin :)

Most certainly! I will welcome you!

Best wishes,
Karin :)

Thank you!

Best wishes in cutting down on the sugar! It’s so nummy! But I know I have to be so careful, too!
Best wishes on your website, too.

Karin

Thank you, Desmond!

Best wishes,
Karin :)

I became a member of WA on June 18, 2018, so I have not been here very long, but I feel like it's been longer as I have learned and accomplished so much in such a short time. It's great you have been here a month! Do you feel you've learned a lot? Have you been able to connect with the community? We're all here to help each other and it has been amazing!

Wish you the best on your sites, as well! Hard work will get us there!

Best wishes,
Karin :)

Thank you yes I have learned a lot but need to go back and try a little harder Guess the emails are just going to have to wait so as to get what I need to do done. I still have to agree hard work will get us there

I am going to be going over all of the training when I begin working on my next site. There is just so much good info and I want to make sure I don't miss anything!

Best wishes,
Karin :)

Thank you so much. I appreciate your help!

Best wishes,
Karin :)

That will be a very useful site. Many people will appreciate your site!

Best wishes,
Karin :)

Thanks for the tip. My last A1C was 8.7 which was lower than my previous one, but not by much. I am going to do a Ketogenic Diet to try to get mine at a more reasonable level. The insulin has been helping, but I sure don't want to be on that for the rest of my life!

Take care and best wishes,
Karin :)

Thank you for your insights. You are right, I need to focus my energy on building the new! A good talk may do the trick!

Best wishes,
Karin :)

Thank you, Ken. Have a great day!

Best wishes,
Karin

Thank you, Wayne. I have learned so much here! It is going well!

Best wishes,
Karin

Thanks, Brad!

Best wishes,
Karin

Thank you for sharing, Frank. I have considered the Keto diet, but my doctor has concerns about my cholesterol, so I haven't taken it on, yet.
I have recently started a whole foods "diet" with my mom who also struggles with high blood sugar. It is giving me some lower readings, but not a lot yet.

Thanks for following!

Best wishes,
Karin

I respect that Karin.

Are you aware back in 2008, Stanford Medical Center made a study on 4 diets? Dr. Christian "something" ( story don't know his last name) lead the research/study.

I think it was near 1000 people who participated in the 4 diets

1) The South Beach Diet
2) Ornish Diet- vegetarian
3) Standard American Diet- eat less and exercise more.
4) The Atkins Diet- aka Ketogenic and Caveman's diet.

Dr. Christian admitted he had a bias and that he felt his favorite;
the "Vegetarian Diet" will win hands over heels, after all he was doing it for over 20 years.

To his surprise, "drats" the Atkins Diet won over, bigtime.

Numbers on cholesterol, fat, hunger,


Here I found the study below.
https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2007/03/stanford-diet-study-tips-scale-in-favor-of-atkins-plan.html

You might want to share this with your Doc.

Take care my dear friend!

frank

Thank you, Frank! I will share that with my doc.

Best wishes,
Karin

You welcome Karin,
take care.

Btw, there are 2 types of cholesterol

LDL- low density lypoprotein- bad cholesterol.
HDL-high density lypoprotein- good cholesterol

Ask your Doc what is your HDL/LDL ratio.
He can tell you. It goes like this, you get a blood test
to find out first. On the fact sheet will show total cholesterol.
that would be a high number. On the same sheet will show
your high cholesterol number.

Say your numbers are 325/85. That means 85 is your HDL.
The larger number is your total cholesterol, which is 325.

Now this is very important Karin, you get this you know your
true numbers. Doc can tell if your cholesterol is clogging your arteries. Remember the ratio 5, OK.

325/85. If you divide that numbers you will get 3.82, that number is under 5. You don't have high cholesterol. You are mighty healthy, Karin. Loud applause! Yaay!

Now say if you have 325/14, now try and divide those numbers.
I can tell you now without using my internet computer it is
"OUCHIE-BAD" Karin.

Here's the number, 25 (TWENTY-FIVE!!!! OUCH)
You suppose to be dead!

I got my stroke when my numbers were 8.

My ratio is 3.25 well under 5. Remember 5 is your "cut-off" point.
Don't be afraid of the numbers.

BUT BE DEADLY AFRAID OF THE RATIO. Remember "5."

Take care Karin!

frank

So I looked up the results of my last lipid profile. I don’t know what all these numbers mean.
Cholesterol 269
Triglycerides 305
HDL cholesterol 43
Calculated LDL 165

All I know is she put me on another statin that makes me not remember things.

Here Karin, very simple see the top number
269 you divide that by your HDL that is 43.

Here's what you get 6.25. That is above 5. Remember what I said Karin? Keep the numbers under 5. Your cholesterol is above 5. That's why your Doc put you on that statin drug.

My recommendation is Karin, (I'm not a Doc) tell her you want to do Atkins. Let her know that Atkins/ketogenic/caveman diet is a low sugar diet. How can Doc tell you no when your problem is diabetes? Why, you wanna tell her that?

Because if you lower your sugar intake that a ketogenic diet recommends, you need Doc to lower your doses of insulin.

Remember my dear friend, it's all about lowering your sugar intake and this diet corrects most of your ailments. Doc needs

You lose weight, lower your sugar in your blood, look young again and downright feel good all over. Ohh and people will notice you have more energy and family will see a new Karin. All in humble opinion.

Take care Karin!


frank =)

Thank you, Frank!

Karin! :)

You welcome and good luck my dear friend.

We want to see you around for a long time!


frank =)

When you're ready I'll take you by the hand and show you how to do the Ketogenic diet my way.

Very easy!

Aloha and Mahalo!


frank

Thank you, Frank! I will appreciate it greatly. I do have a cookbook called "The Wicked Good Ketogenic Cookbook." Have you heard of it?
Kairn

Ohhh no, show me.

frank :)

You don't need me, then, you already have a cookbook. :)

That is an excellent idea! I sure do know that struggle! Thank you!!!

Best wishes,
Karin

Thank you! I love the saying. The time must be right because the teacher is definitely here!

Thank you, Sami!

Best wishes,
Karin

Thank you for the warm welcome! I do wear a lot of different hats. I hope within the next 2 1/2 years that I am down to a few less!
In the meantime, I plug along with joy in the full knowledge that one day my efforts will pay off!

Best wishes,
Karin

They will. I am sure of it. :)

Thank you for the info. My best to you.

Karin

Thank you so much, Paul! I am loving WA so far!

My very best to you!

Karin

Kindest regards, Karin.
Upward and onward.

Paul.

Thank you! I think your idea is a great one, too!

Best wishes for much success—for all of us!

Karin

Thank you Aditya. WA is amazing!

Best wishes to your success,

Karin

Thanks, Che!

Best wishes to your success,

Karin

Thanks! Scammers make me so mad!

Best wishes on your business.

Karin

I totally agree with your sentiments. It is much easier to be straight and honest with what we do - that way we do not have to continually look over our shoulder to see who is after us because inevitably these scammers get caught. Honesty and Integrity are the basis for normal life and even more important if you are going into business.
great input

Thanks for the info! I will check it out!

Kairn

I can feel your wife's pain. The neuropathy is no walk in the park....

I don't have a formula for writing, except that I write from my heart and I do my very best to keep on topic. That can sometimes be a challenge, but it is important to do because it keeps your reader focused, as well.

Maybe I'll do a training on blog writing at some point! :)

Keep in contact and my best to you!


Karin

Thank you, Mitch!

I am loving WA so far!

Karin

Glad to hear We are looking forward to to speaking with you and if you need any help, give a shout out!

All the best,

mitch

Thanks. I will do that!

Karin

Thanks for sharing. I am so encouraged by the community here to continue to build out my website. Perhaps one day you will do a guest blog for me!

Karin

Lol, if time and life permits Karin.

Thank you for the idea... I sure could tell people what NOT to do in their struggle with diabetes!

Thanks again!

Karin

You are most welcome! Cheerz!

Thank you Gail!
Karin
