Hunger is only related to diabetes and obesity when someone falsely
believes in the lie that hunger is bad because it indicates
starvation.

For the rest of us, who no longer suffer from the delusion, we see
there is not relationship except that hunger counters type-2 diabetes
and other obesity-related problems.

Folks suffering from starvation are dying.

Dying people are as a general rule not hungry.

You would find out that you did not and if you checked your blood
glucose, it is likely that you would discover, when you a very hungry,
that your blood glucose is in the normal range between 70 - 90 mg/dL.

The latter would indicate that you are hungry and that your feeling
very weak is likely arising from the delusion that hunger is bad so
that when you are hungry, you are to feel bad (ie very weak).

Not if your BG is in the normal range 70 - 90 mg/dL.

When there is none being made by a person's pancreas.

Be hungry... be healthy... be hungrier... be blessed:

Those who run out of insulin would as a general rule have elevated
blood glucose readings.

The primary purpose of insulin is to lower blood glucose.

The irrational compulsion to overeat arises from the false belief that
hunger is an indication of starvation (ie imminent death).

Without insulin, there would be no hunger because of DKA.

How dare you continue to re-post his drivel? Ignore the

Such elevations typically make us less hungry.

Zero would be below the required basal.

Above basal would lead to hypoglycemia.

Right at basal is what is necessary to achieve euglycemia which would
be when we are at our hungriest.

No such thing as hunger response.

Instead, there is the irrational response of compulsive overeating for
those who suffer from the delusion that they are dying when hungry.

What is happening here is mental illness arising from the delusion of
falsely believing that hunger is bad.

Oh, goodness, he's hardly the *worst* kind. He is consistently idiotic and
identifiable: there are far more subtle beggars who've deliberately targeted
newsgroups for much, much subtler and nastier behavior.

We, who are Jesus' brethren, hear our stomachs whenever GOD blesses us
making us ever hungrier. For this reason, folks around us know we are
hungry all the time.

It is not obesity but overeating that causes type-2 diabetes.

Whether obesity happens with overeating depends on ones body.

Not for those of us who know in our hearts that hunger is wonderful.

Incorrect. Most of us falsely believe in our hearts that hunger is
bad, that it indicates we are dying from starvation. This drives us
to the irrational compulsion to overeat when hungrier.

It remains smarter, to eat less down to the right amount:

Actually, a person who is truly starving is not hungry and should not
eat until his/her appetite returns with gradual refeeding.

Our armchair endo opines:

"Incorrect. Most of us falsely believe in our hearts that hunger is

to the irrational compulsion to overeat when hungrier."

Incorrect, not only is this internally illogical in its argument but it
is contridicted in medicine and contrary to common sense. It then by
definition becomes "irrational" to hold as valid.

If you really must reply to this dickhead, please be so kind as to

And in your case He humbled you using a different approach. The lesson
