MSU Red Cedar Message Board

This little kid is literally the stay puff marshmallow man. Someone needs to kill his parents and help him. His skin looks like a sweater of goo.

Dont really know the point you are trying to make, but I will tell you this. My father was 101st Airbore in Vietnam.

In 1987, my father was sent home from the hospital to spend his "last Christmas" at home with his family. The numerous cancer treatments and chemo had taken a toll on him and it was to the point where the doctors were confident that he would not live another year. They gave him pills to comfort him and wanted him to go home to enjoy his last Christmas. He had doctors from the VA up to the hospital and they told my mother that while they knew cancer was caused by agent orange, they could not afford to pay benifits to anyone other than those that died. They gave my mother a card and told her to call them when he passed. As a miracle, he beat it...

My last year at MSU (2000), I got a call from my sister stating that doctors thought my fathers cancer might be back. I did the only thing I knew to deal with the feelings.. I ran over to Duffy to lift weights since I was helpless at college an unable to get home. I remember lifting and holding back tears. I got to a point where I was overwhelemd and I remember walking out into the turn arena and balling. Turns out the diagnosis endend up being diabetes and my father has been able to control it with diet and meds. He is 64 and has been doing his best to continue to fight it and avoid having to go on dialysis.

18 months ago when the VA finally recognized diabetes as being caused by agent orange, I drove him to the VA for his physical. Despite all the cases of cancer that are known to have been caused by AO, they do not award benifits to cancer patients, but they did award him partial disability due to the numbness in his feet and other aspects.

To his credit, he has missed very few home MSU football game in the last 12 years, and I was able to take him to two Final Fours (2009, 2010) and he has made 90% of the home basketball games during that time as well. I was able to take he and my mom to Maui for the Invitational 2 year ago.

So say what you will about it being a cop out, I am living it and I am fortunate as hell that I still have my father around to live it with despite the struggles he deals with every day.

Lol yes it does.

Autoimmune issues are exacerbated by shitty diet. Juvenile diabetes and the massive increase in type 1 that comes on later in life are different animals. Lots of people with type 2 develop type 1 due to prolonged insulin resistance and the pancreas eventually says f this I'm out.

Eat a shitty diet with type 1 or type 2 and you end up in the same place. Type 1 onset is believed to be a function of exacerbated autoimmune cluster fuckery thanks to the the pro insulin resistance so prevalent in the western diet. This is why it is exploding. The genetic signaling that results from the pro inflammatory diets most everyone eats is at the heart of it.

Oh yeah it's ma bad genes! I live that. We all have shitty genes. They are reactive to environment. They turn on when you stuff them full of autoimmune sparking shit like excess omega 6 fatty acids and shit like gluten while exacerbating insulin resistance. This is a dumb argument because you're just gonna say I'm wrong and im gonna say you're wrong and blah blah blah. Autoimmune disorders are up across the board, not just one type of diabetes because a bunch of people humped.

I'm not saying its causing it I'm saying its more common because the western diet is causing more autoimmune issues. Though I see where I've made some shitty correlations, my logic is infallible.

Your ignorance and persistance on the subject is astounding. Of course there are still people that think the world is flat as well so it shouldn't surprise me.

Understand that Type 1 diabetes has nothing to do with insulin resistance or the food that you eat - that is type 2. You have already proven your ignorance stating that Type 2 can develop into Type 1. That is simply not true. Type 1 is the fact that immune system has attacked the beta cells that produce insulin. The effects are similar to Type 2 in that the body does not have enough insulin, but the cause it completely different. One cure will have absolutely nothing to do with the other.

There was a study out where they took healthy individuals and sleep deprived them. The subjects started to show signs of insulin resistance. Get some sleep.

Like uh those scientific FDA recommendations that are making us so much healthier and thinner? K. Thanks.

Believe what you want to believe.

We are hyper sensitive to this topic because we both apparently have children that have been dx with Type 1 and constantly fight the misconception that it was the diet that caused the disease. This couldn't be further from the truth.

I have spent many hours in research updates for JDRF and while donating my time, dollars, and blood to programs like TrialNet whose goal it is to prevent and cure the disease. No offense, but I think I'm going to believe their findings instead of your babble.

I was careful about my comments until you insinuated that a poor diet also causes Type 1 and that is just false.
