    My oldest son is in his early 20's and he has type 1 diabetes. But thank God for this piece of article ruclips.net/user/postUgkxVYhghKWmrUgXARZ_ydZTvmmcrw5L0I5i At first he thought he had the flu and was lying down on the bed for three days until his sister took him to the hospital. They took his blood and it was 600. What I do not understand is how he could have gotten it, since no one in the family has it. But he is winning the battle now. This is good stuff.

    For how to measure the waist, this is by far the best explanation I've seen. I've looked through a lot, the key help here was mentioning that it may not cross your belly button. This was driving me nuts, for me it's a pretty big difference with it being parallel to the ground, not slanted across my belly button. Also the midpoint was marked on the side rather then a rough squeeze with the fingers, and how I should breathe and the tension of the tape, all of it, thank you. Not sure about the ethnicity thing though, I'd think that has more to do with height, but maybe people do hold fat differently in different places.

      Honestly, the video is a bit silly. The man didn't want to take his shirt off, so he demonstrates with a CLOTHED body? That's not how you measure!

It is an awesome one of a kind product for getting slim without exercise without the hard work. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my cooworker at very last got great success with it.

      Jyotir Aditya Maloo Just think about it. The waist is the most fleshy, skinniest part of your body. If you measure your waist, this will ensure that your pants are held somewhat tight so they don’t fall off. If you measure your hips, on the contrary, you will get a different measurement. Your pants perhaps may not fall off immediately, but when walking or running your pants will eventually go down slowly. Meaning that if you calculate your hips, your pant size will be slightly larger.

    • @thedarkmajesty1773
      @thedarkmajesty1773 5 лет назад +1

      Jyotir Aditya Maloo The point of measuring your waist is to get that somewhat tightness in your pants. Because if you measure your hips, your pants will droop all the way down eventually.

      Jyotir Aditya Maloo Exactly, so you just answered your own question :|

    Why do people always conflate South Asia and south East Asia? Including this presumably south Asian guy here.
    Is he talking about people from Vietnam, Thailand, etc. or India, Pakistan, etc.?
    Also, these absolute numbers without regards to height or lean body mass are flawed. I understand there is a real issue of diabetes and heart disease among south Asians, strongly correlated with visceral belly fat, but a measurement is relative.
    35 inches assumes that all south Asian men are small boned, have little muscle mass, or are 5’10” or shorter.... which is not true
