I 'LL SEE MY DOC IN A COUPLE WEEKS , BUT I'M CURIOUS NOW......AT WHAT POINT DOES A DOCTOR RECOMMEND INSULIN TREATMENT AS OPPOSED TO METFORMIN ?.......HOW HIGH DOES THE A1C HAVE TO BE , AND FOR HOW LONG ?....I PLUGGED THIS IN TO A COUPLE SEARCH ENGINES AND DIDN'T COME UP WITH MUCH.....THANKS....

first let me say that I've already made adjustments on my diet.....although I do eat more than "carrots & tree bark".......I don't exercise enough but I do exercise......I am Type II but my A1C's have hovered around 6 since I started my Metformin two years ago.........my cholesterol is 160.........with Pravastatin.......I have tried Niaspan for 8 months ...with fish oil.....but quit the Niaspan when it didn't work..........I use Metamucil fiber supplement once or twice a day.......and I have been on Gemfibrozil for 5 months with no effect on my fasting triglyceride level of 400......I am 51..........SO HERE'S MY QUESTION .........ROFL............

......... here's what I can't figure out.........a fasting triglyceride level is supposed to be under 200.............that's after 8 - 12 hours of fasting..........of course we don't fast during the day..........if you ever tried to cheat on that test then you know that even a "minute" amount of food will shoot the results up to as much as 1000 or 1500..........so if THAT'S the case?.............our triglyceride levels are in that upper range EVERY day until we stop eating for the day........and sleep overnight....so in truth our low fasting level is only for a VERY small portion of our day......for a few hours in early morning...if that............then "what difference does having a fasting rate make that is only a couple hundred points under what we have now?"......ie : 400 now.............200 as a goal................................in order for their formula to make sense to me we would have to be fasting everyday..............so hypothetically instead of 1600 a person might have a day rate of 1400?......so wouldn't the actual effect be negligible?............or does the rate multiply from the fasting rate instead of adding?........so instead of a day rate of 1600 one might have a day rate of 3200 if they start with a fasting rate of 400 instead of 200?........I have been thinking this but haven't been able to ask my doctor yet...and could find NOTHING online about my theory........which I'm sure is incorrect..........but I need to know why.........thank you ..............

......it works great on eye of round......although it costs a bit more than the "arm roast"......they're both tough if not prepared properly......here is the "High temp" method : DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Season the roast with salt and pepper and place in a roasting pan or baking dish. Do not cover or add water.

Place the roast in the preheated oven. Reduce the temperature to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). Roast for 21 minutes (seven minutes per pound) then turn off the oven and let the roast sit in the hot oven for 2 1/2 hours. Do not open the door at all during this time!

Remove the roast from the oven, the internal temperature should have reached at least 145 degrees F (65 degrees C). Carve into thin slices to serve.

.......I plan to sear it first in the skillet...then rub with "Lipton Onion Soup" powder before cooking.....I have a 2lb roast so I'll take a third off the time.....I just don't have all day to cook in a crock pot......I'm ulitimately going to cut this up for "French Dip Aux Jus"......

......thanks in advance to the YA community...one of the friendliest easiest "cooking & recipe" forums......finally.......I referred to YA for some tips on cooking pork chops.....mine were always dried out....I compiled some tips.....RESULTS?.....tender juicy loin chops......with great tasting breading......that fell off......lol......I brined for 5 hours......used the Paula Dean trick of egg/hot sauce/mustard.....then "flour & southern fried catfish coating"......with a little cayenne.........rinse>breading>egg bath>breading.........then on 8 for a minute or two on each side (electric stove)......trying to crisp breading before cooking on 3 -6 for about 10 minutes......breading was already falling off almost immediately......any tricks to getting breading to stay on?......like most restaurants?.........thanks........

....I live in KC , Mo.....I plan to use a sod cutter......reuse the sod......roto till the soil......what other tips do you have?.......soil preparation?........going to be a variety of veggies....some corn...maybe a few melons........

.....if so , is it in the groundskeepers contract to pick up "dog doo".....or does "Barney" have a union "dooty pickerupper"?......and how much taxpayer money does it costs us?......I'm just saying....seven secret service trucks followed Biden to buy his puppy.....and yet Iraqis can hurl not one ...but TWO objects at our President......

" You're abducted by ALIENS...would you rather be in their CIRCUS or ZOO?" ?

.....and WHY?......there was a ship parked in my back yard last night.So I thought I might ponder this question. Thanks for the feedback.

"WHAT do I do?......there's a giant lizard with no pants on playing banjo?

.....in my living room......he's playing "out of tune".......WHAT do I do?....should I report him?

"What would YOUR dog say if it could speak English for one day?

what would you tell them?....I'm sure a lot of the time it sounds like "blah , blah , blah .......blahbeddy blah blah blah.......ONE MORE TIME !!!......blahbeddy blah......UR GONNA GIT POPPED !!!".....ROFL......How might the conversation go?.....Have fun

....."Do you think this was a nice thing to do?"....."bury the hatchet?"?

...Sarah Palin , taking the high road , invited Biden & Obama to a "moose hunt" in Alaska... she hired Dick Cheney to be in charge of "the hunt" and Ted Kennedy to drive them back to the cabin.....
