Now I keep reading the title of your post "wife's blood too thick"....is that a fact? Has her iron levels been checked? Iron Overload Disease can cause the blood to become extremely thick and it's a relatively simple blood test that alot of doctors DO NOT test for. Secondly Iron Overload (Hemachromoatosis) is the most common genetic disorder on the planet. I have no idea if this could be your wife's problem but thought I should mention it just in case.

Oh, ye ghods, please don't tell me that Dor got another throwaway account. For newbies out here, there's a nutjob who also believes that Aspartame is the Anti-Christ who keeps blaming all diabetes on hemochromatosis, which is admittedly a nasty potential source of diabetes but is quite rare. It would have shown up in a case like this in the chest X-rays as an excessive blocking of the X-rays by the heart. M. Struik may not be such a nutjob, but yeesh, the amount of shrieking we see about this in the diabetes from the same person under different sock puppets is pretty amazing.

If you're a zealot, own it and get on with it. In my case about a month being diagnosed as Type II I went in for blood work. My iron was through the roof and my doctor didn't like that one bit so he did a full on panel, including a genome map because he wanted to rule out Hemochromoatosis. Everything came out fine, including a resting glucose of 102. -F

SO stick your sock puppet down your throat and I hope you choke on it! 1 2 Next » Related Discussion: How to Read Food Labels (1 posts) Health Infrmation (1 posts) I found this great little site (1 posts) Not eating and BG up high?
