12:07:03 From keithlawrence : What is the right goal to set for insulin level?
12:07:24 From Joy Gentle : My fasting insulin is great, but my post meal insulin spikes quite high (via Diagnostechs saliva test).
12:09:50 From Wayne : Can you check the glucagon? Some non-keto people put more emphasis on glucagon which eventually raises the glucose of Keto-followers; I'm trying to think thru the conflicting arguments.
12:12:12 From JudyMurrayJack : My Aria scale sends data to my Fitbit app. Data since 2016 is helpful to understanding my health journey. I weigh most days before eating. The Plant Paradox diet, started in 2018 reversed my insulin resistance as well as kidney disease which was the reason I changed how I ate. Currently working on overcoming problems of the last year. Happy for today's talk. A dear friend takes insulin and recently had 2 stents placed in arteries. I don't know how to get her the information you are teaching us, but I will do my best.

12:42:36 From Martha Stark, MD : Tom, what an INCREDIBLY exciting thought – about "basking" in the sun to accelerate “digestion" and the "breaking down" of fats!!
12:43:26 From Doris Fellenz : So far infared light is best?
12:43:59 From Steve : Doris, they tell me the same thing. I ignore their advise.

12:45:38 From Dr. Tom Lewis : halogen light is the best. I will explain in a few weeks
12:45:40 From Martha Stark, MD : Doris – How about waiting to get the tetanus shot until you actually might need it – i.e., right after an injury that breaks your skin.
12:45:47 From Kathy : how do you know if you have H pylori
12:46:11 From Joy Gentle : Any experience with Sperti Vit D lamp for helping to raise Vit D levels in northern climates?

12:50:53 From Jeffrey : For infrared light, you can create your own sauna from lights at SaunaSpace.com which I use. It is great for night time lights too before going to bed.

12:51:58 From Jeffrey : THey will also keep you warm in the winter without having to turn your heat up.
12:51:59 From Carol Willis : A1C is dependent on rate of turnover of RBC, so can be misleading in some people, if they have a high or lower rate of turnover of RBC than the normal 120 days.
12:53:11 From Dean : Any good alternative to Medly(Valisure) now that they went out of business ?
12:54:15 From Linda FNP To Dr. Tom Lewis(privately) : Ooo.. $100 sauna! Yes! Please

12:59:54 From Kofi Adega To Dr. Tom Lewis(privately) : can dr Wease explain why in td2, the main driver is insulin and not glucose.

13:00:05 From Martha Stark, MD : ...and, Tom, you put iodine on your foot wounds sometimes...
13:00:50 From Steve : Do you mainly use the saliva covid test?
13:01:41 From Joy Gentle : Something like >2000 coronaviruses out there.
13:02:00 From Doris Fellenz : If you keep taking the test, what are the results, can that too affect you. Some are taking the test once or twice a week./
13:02:18 From Kofi Adega To Dr. Tom Lewis(privately) : can he advise his go to supplements for dt2.he has mentioned ALA and berberine.anything else.
13:02:38 From Steve : Put the CV nasal swab under a microscope and see what surprises one might find.
13:02:40 From Jeffrey : I have several pink salt lamps. They are nice looking and bring a sense of calm, but it stops right there. As far as dramatic health effects, you are better off with red light therapy. Just my opinion.
13:03:21 From Carol Willis : More explanation on interpreting the C-peptide result in relation to the ref range too, please.
13:04:00 From Doris Fellenz : Thank you Jeffrey!
