Diabetes Type 2 Support Group
Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...
I read about inflammation and am convinced it is a factor in my health. But it is a mystery to me how I can identify it. Can it be tested for? Can a treatment be measured as to how effective it is? What are the symptoms of inflammation.

Thanks for the input!
Hopefully it was helpful for you Caine. Thanks for bringing the subject up.I think I will look into it a little more.
Still, and maybe I am making too much of this, I look for a more convincing way to diagnose inflammation by lab testing or other measure and a way to measure successful treatment. I kinda hate to accept the idea that a million variables are in my way from treating my inflammation.
But I do have a considerable amount of naturopathic diet integrated in my daily food e.g. green juice, no sugar or artificial sweeteners, no milk or milk bi-products, very little bread or grain products, low amounts of meat or fowl protein and of course low carbohydrate intake focused on diabetic smart eating. And my exercise level is increasing with a local gym and trainer.
The Serenity Prayer is also of some help.
