The truth is, you may not have good information around diet, so your idea of a healthy diet may actually contribute to your insulin toxicity (diabetes) concerns.

The 7 Stages of Grief:
1. Denial and Isolation
This is actually very normal and expected. The onset of grief causes you to withdraw. Much like burning yourself, grief makes you pull back.
This process can happen within a few moments, or it can take much longer.
2. Anger
Whether you feel mad at your loved one for leaving you, mad at the world for going on without them, or mad at God for a taking them, anger is a normal part of the grieving process.
It is also normal to blame yourself, even if it is unrealistic and irrational. Perhaps nothing could have been done to alter the circumstance, even so, blaming yourself is not at all unusual.
3. Bargaining
Your unrealistic and irrational feelings may take a while to work through. Bargaining with God to take away your loss may sound nuts, but within the grieving process, this is also perfectly normal.
4. Depression
When the intense onset of grief begins to subside, a numbness begins to replace overwhelming feelings.
The reality that you will never see your loved one again starts to set in. It is normal to sink into a period of depression as you adjust.
Sharing happy memories can actually be helpful at this stage. Though friends and family may avoid talking about your lost loved one, it might be exactly what you need.
Encouragment to “move on” or “get over it” is NOT helpful at this stage. Resist the temptation to stuff your feelings to appease others.
Honor your healing process so you can heal.
5. Turning the Corner
There comes a time in your grieving process where your physical symptoms begin to subside. You may even find yourself feeling guilty for hurting less.
Be encouraged. This upward turn is also a natural part of the grieving process.
6. Reconstruction
When you see yourself facing the heart wrenching task of going on without your loved one, you know you are moving into the phase of restructuring your life without them.
As painful as this can be, it is especially important to honor this part of the process. If your loved one lived a distance from you this can be a little more difficult. It is harder to believe they are really gone.
A memorial or just a collection of pictures can help you to put life without them into perspective. Do some journaling if it helps you to process.
7. Acceptance and Hope
When you can remember your loved one with a genuine smile on your face you know that acceptance and hope have begun, and that is a true sign of healing.
Time heals, but only if you allow it to.

Don’t expect to have symptoms before a stroke.
If you are observing symptoms of stroke, it is best to assume that a stroke is presently occuring, and call 911.
There are, however, risk factors for stroke that you should be aware of:
Controlable or treatable risk factors:
- high blood pressure
- atrial fibrillation
- high cholesterol
- diabetes
- tobacco use and smoking
- alcohol use
- physical inactivity
Uncontrollable risk factors:
- family history
- fibromuscular dysplasia
- patent foramen ovale
- previous stroke or TIA
What is a TIA or transient ischemic attack?
A TIA is a "warning stroke" or "mini-stroke" that produces stroke-like symptoms but no lasting damage.
Most strokes aren't preceded by TIAs. However, of the people who've had one or more TIAs, more than a third will later have a stroke. In fact, a person who's had one or more TIAs is more likely to have a stroke than someone of the same age and sex who hasn't.
TIAs are important in predicting if a stroke will occur rather than when one will happen. They can occur days, weeks or even months before a major stroke. In about half the cases, the stroke occurs within one year of the TIA.
Recognizing and treating TIAs can reduce your risk of a major stroke.
