Could diabetes ever be an advantage in an environment

Could diabetes ever be an advantage in an environment?
Could it? Diabetes is generally this, skip it if you know what it is. Diabetes mellitus (IPA: /ˌdaɪəˈbiːtiːz/ or /ˌdaɪəˈbiːtəs/, /məˈlaɪtəs/ or /ˈmɛlətəs/), often referred to simply as diabetes (Ancient Greek: διαβαίνειν "to pass through"), is a syndrome of disordered metabolism, usually due to a combination of hereditary and environmental causes, resulting in abnormally high blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia).[2] Blood glucose levels are controlled by a complex interaction of multiple chemicals and hormones in the body, including the hormone insulin made in the beta cells of the pancreas. Diabetes mellitus refers to the group of diseases that lead to high blood glucose levels due to defects in either insulin secretion or insulin action. [3] Diabetes develops due to a diminished production of insulin (in type 1) or resistance to its effects (in type 2 and gestational).[4] Both lead to hyperglycaemia, which largely causes the acute signs of diabetes: excessive urine production, resulting compensatory thirst and increased fluid intake, blurred vision, unexplained weight loss, lethargy, and changes in energy metabolism. Monogenic forms, e.g. MODY, constitute 1-5 % of all cases. So now lets say there's an organism that is in a low sugar environment, could it be a good thing?

I am diabetic and have recently had to start insulin. I don't think there is any advantages to having diabetes. It is frustrating most of the time and I hate being diabetic.
2 :
Well the classic answer is (or at least used to be) that if your ancient ancestors lived in times of feast or famine, having higher blood sugar would tide them over for a few days till they ate next. Then it got out of hand (evolutionarily) so it became fatal if untreated (at least Type I). Since 1921 we've been working against evolution by giving ourselves insulin so we can grow up and have kids, perpetuating the genes.

your question is too wide. you will need to invest in a text book such as kumar and clark. if you are looking only for normal numbers, then you can get them from google. however, every lab has their own normal range.

Is meat eating a major cause of disease

Is meat eating a major cause of disease?
• Meat and Diabetes: A high consumption of saturated fatty acids can lead to an insulin resistance and encourages the development of diabetes mellitus. Animal products generally contain a lot of saturated fatty acids. • Meat and Obesity: Saturated fatty acids further the development of being overweight. Being overweight is a risk factor for heart disease, heart attacks, strokes and circulatory disorders. • Meat and Bones: On the average, meat products contain more phosphorus then calcium. A raised phosphorus/calcium ratio results in an increased release of calcium from the bones. As some studies have shown, there is a close relationship between a high dietary consumption of phosphates and a raised risk of osteoporosis and broken bones. • Meat and Cancer: The National Institute of Health, the largest medical research institution in the world, determined in 2001 an increased risk of cancer with the consumption of red meat. Argentina and Uruguay are some of the world’s largest consumers of beef and also belong to the countries with the highest rates of breast and colon cancer. A study by the University of Minnesota published in September 2002 shows that the consumption of barbecued red meat promotes the development of pancreatic cancer. Taken from this site: http://www.universal-life.cc/english/animals/what_has_eyes_s443_layout2.htm What do you think?

"i know a lot of people and witchcrafts did evil things on me.i can see and feel it" Don't go blaming your troubles on the Wicca. Witches don't do evil things to innocent people. It goes against the witches rede. Start by fixing your depression. The physical problems and nightmares will probably go away on their own, then. Don't offend people when trying to ask for help

I would like to refer you to the Seventh-day Adventist missionary in your place. Please tell them about your problem. I am sure they can help you. You need spiritual guidance from spirit filled people. If only I could come and visit you now I would. But I will continue praying for you. God will give you peace and understanding. I am a Baptist for 32 years but God led me to the Seventh-day Adventist church last July 28, 2007. I am at peace with God for I know I have already obeyed His Ten Commandments by obeying the fourth. To make Sabbath day holy. I am happy and very much contented of my life now.

So, Mr. Navid Mofid - sorry about the first response you got. They are so unkind on R&S. And it seems to me that you are really desperate and not pretending like so many are on here. You know you have done wrong getting into witchcraft, and this has made your unhappiness with losing your wife worse, at a time when you really needed to start building again. You can go into Islam and try to get help, if you wish, but I do not advise it. What I advise is that you find a Christian missionary - not one of those 'flakey' American ones, but one who truly is a man of God - and ask for help. Do not go to a Catholic priest. Go to a Protestant missionary, because the other is under bondage himself. Firstly, you need prayer for casting out demons (if the missionary hesitates, go find another one). Pray before you seek him and God will direct your path. When the demons have been dealt with, you need to repent and receive Jesus Christ as your Saviour and Lord, and then get baptized. The missionary will explain. Then you need to find other believers and meet and worship with them, for now you are a member of the Church. You will need their prayers and support in the times ahead, for it will not be easy for you, but, Christ having set you free is able to keep you. Only that way can you start a new life, and you need the power of the Holy Spirit to keep you in it. I know it must be hard, living in Tehran, to find Christians, but I believe they will be there, if you seek them out. That is the best advice I can give you. You wanted to know the truth, well there you have it. It will cost you to follow it and don't just believe everything I say just because I'm a foreigner - check it out. Always check everything out, the Bible says so. Because there are many deceivers about, you know that. I hope my words witness to your spirit that they are true and caring of yourself, for I can sense your desperation. So many people in the world must be feeling the same kinds of things because of bad treatment and meddling with the occult, but not everyone can be helped. However, I can help you, and I wish you every blessing of our Lord Jesus and that, in God, your life may turn around very soon. PS. Leave the Seventh Day Adventists alone - they are offbeam. You don't need to worship on Saturday to be saved. Same with Jehovah Witnesses. PPS. Thanks, Dr. Paul and God bless!
11 :
I wonder if this story is legitimate, since it is rather strange. If it is true, I can only suggest you come into contact with a strong Christian in your area. Many Muslim men have had some very odd experiences and later come to know Christ as their Savior. All demonic influences left them and they knew a great peace. I know this is not readily accepted by devout Muslims, but there have been instances of miraculous visions etc. as a form of conversion to Christianity. Try to get a Bible and read the new Testament, perhaps the gospel of John. There is much there that is NOT as you may have been told by other Muslims. There is a verse (1 John 4:4) which says "greater is he (the Holy Spirit) that is in you than he (the devil) that is in the world" This protection comes only after becoming a Christian, which requires baptism. For more information see www.lcms.org or www.gotquestions.org By the way, it has been my prayer that Muslims may come to know the peace and joy of Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. I strongly recommend that you seek out one who is now a Christian but WAS a Muslim. They should be able to answer a lot of your questions. I will put you in my prayers.

Hi Navid, It may be that Sara nor her family have anything to do with what you are going through in life. Many gifted people go through difficult times in the course of ones life ~ maybe there is a fate for you that is deeper than simply walking through life unscathed. From what you've said, I get the impression you want to see this woman. And honestly, if that is true, then you alone have created your own fate by refusing to let go of the past. You need to let go of your emotional attachment to Sara, or before you know it your entire life will have passed you by, all the while dreaming of a girl you don't even know anymore. She is not the same person she was 10-13 years ago, and you are not the same man. If you really believe there are people out to get you for a relationship that ended over a decade ago, then you may want to ask yourself how valid your fear really is. It seems to me you are no threat . . . and people dealing in Black Magic don't normally concentrate on those they do not view as a threat. I may be able to help you but you need to email me privately, after you've considered what I've said.

Well, sir, it sounds like you've tried everything else. Try this: Say from your heart, "Jesus, if you REALLY are the MIGHTY GOD, come into my heart and life right now, and deliver me from these curses and diseases and troubles that are afflicting my life and mind. If you really are a savior, save me, O God!" Isa 9:6 -- ...His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Psa 54:1 -- ...Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength. 2 Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth. Isa 19:20 -- And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them. ...and He will deliver YOU too.

To be perfectly honest, I am clueless on what you can do. I do know as a Christian, the only hope is Jesus Christ! He is able to deliver His children from any circumstance, and He is always there, just a word away. I would suggest speaking to Him, He will listen..
3 :
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
