My Story Tracey Lee From the couch to the Tankwa

        The first question people ask me is; why did you chose to do the Tankwa Camino? I did not. I say. It chose me. I saw it on Facebook, sent an e-mail and they said the first space available was for 2017… And well out the window that went. Who wants to wait so long? So I forgot about it until a few weeks later I saw a post on my news feed that there had been a group cancellation of six.  I phoned Samantha and said book… She did, paid the deposit and we were in!

The Sad Case of Out-of-Sync Clocks and Insulin Resistance

Our bodies have metabolisms that run on a 24 hour clock. (circadian) During that time the body must do a variety of functions such as excreting digestive juices, actually digesting, resting, repairing, expressing genes and communicating down to the cellular and molecular levels.

Diabetic ketoacidosis is not caused by simple elevation in ketones. It is a whole cascade of events that starts with either lack of insulin or severe insulin resistance and continued high carb consumption. Blood glucose over 13 (240mm/dl), and no insulin or severe insulin resistance (body doesn't listen to insulin) is what starts ketoacidosis. Think of it as an endocrine system storm. Ketoacidosis is a part of this whole storm, but is not the problem itself. What happens: Elevated blood glucose (to the point where it is spilling into the urine, damaging the body tissues). Body goes into damage control: releasing calories from fat (ketones) into the blood stream because the sugar isn't usable, either insulin isn't there or body...
