Interesting reading as always, thanks, and makes good common sense to me. For the most part. The only bit which does not connect in my understanding is the diabetes element.

Interesting reading as always, thanks, and makes good common sense to me. For the most part. The only bit which does not connect in my understanding is the diabetes element. I understood diabetes to be a result of dysfunctional glucose metabolism. Micro clots in the pancreas leading to failure of insulin production is all I can guess at. Would that be the cause and effect? If so it would result in type I - permanent and irreversible diabetes rather than type II which as I understand it is reversible by diet. As such it should be relatively straightforward to assess.
Yes, I agree with you, Green Fields. Type I is an autoimmune disease whereby beta cells in the pancreas that produce insulin, get attacked by the body’s own immune system. Type I can occur at any age, but typically occurs in the young after a viral infection of some kind knocks out their beta cells for good. I suspect new onset diabetes in the jabbed is also autoimmune related and hence the need for exogenous insulin becomes imperative right away to save the life of the individual affected. Type II as you said, is related to metabolic syndrome whereby the body’s cells become insensitive to the insulin the body produces, usually due to obesity and genetics combined. This type technically can be cured by weight loss and dietary changes. But diabetes is also a nuanced and complex disease, mentions of Type 3, etc is in the literature.
