Studies have shown that diabetic alert dogs, which can cost up to 20 gs, fully trained, were slower and less reliable than a continuous glucose monitor. One theory is that when your tongue tastes the sweetness, it then kind of predisposes your brain to expect the coloric impact of that. And so when you end up just like, pooping all that out and not actually getting the chloric impact, your brain's like, hey, I didn't get the calory, so give me more. Give me more. Gie me more. Insothen yo o, becominga kind of addicted or looking for more sweetness.
Diabetic diabetologist and wonderful person Dr. Mike Natter, MD is back to answer all of your questions about blood sugar, the cost of insulin, pancreas transplants, keto, glucagon, how exercise can save your life, his most meaningful interactions with patients, pudding theft, and the best place to cry at work. Also: why you should always keep frosting in your purse.
