Hello and welcome to my book on insulin, Homeostasis and Diabetes. This book has been quite a learning journey.

The brain is part of many homeostatic systems, providing signals that coordinate your body’s internal clocks and regulating hormone secretion by the ...

This book is an introduction to Karma. In the west we talk of karma as if it were something like a justice system. A system that includes a mechanism that recognizes and establishes the value of good and bad karmic actions, whether they are accidental or intentional. It ensures all involved receive “their just deserts” according to the value/cost of their actions. Another western view of karma is something like an Excel worksheet containing a record of all good and bad karmic actions by a person. Karma from good actions wipes out, or offsets bad actions, four units of good karma offsets...

ello and welcome to my book on Continuous Blood Glucose Monitors – CGMs, Insulin Pumps, and Diabetes. Insulin is a hormone that cannot be taken as an oral medication. It must be delivered by injection into the blood stream. To determine the correct Insulin dose to be injected, a reading of the current glucose level in the blood must be made first.

The blood is transferred to a test strip in a Blood Glucose Monitor. While blood ...

Hello and welcome to my book Prevent and Reverse Type 2 Diabetes Naturally. I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes December 20, 2022. It was a shock. It brought a number of thoughts, and fears, to the surface. It brought a sense of my life being at risk. As you will learn from this book, my perspective on diabetes was horrendously negative. My father was diagnosed as diabetic in his later years when I was a young lad, just taller than the knees of a grasshopper. It was the late 1960s. The situation was confusing and stressful for my parents. Information was limited and there was little ...
