Just diagnosed with diabetes; how do I reverse my condition.

[Cool.As.Ice]

Hi I just got diagnosed with type 2 about a month ago and I am completely overwhelmed by all the prescription medicines I have to take. I am tired often because my pancreas does not produce enough insulin to break down the glucose to give me energy.

 

My A1C was 6.2, just below the threshold, but due to the results of my blood tests, the doctor diagnosed me. I am distressed and looking for help.

 

How do I get this disease in remission?

Physical exercise or walking and follow the advice of a nutritionist.

Don't Panic.

T2D doesn't have cure,you will have to learn to live a normal life with it successfully,which is very possible.

 

But the main challenge will be if you don't have money to take care of yourself and afford the needed changes.a brother in my congregation has DM but doesn't have money,it's a pitiful thing to see.

Ishaya, isn‘t Type 1 Diabetes Milletus the incurable type, offen starting in childhood? Whereas Type 2 is brought on and can be reversed by lowering adipose states?

A change of diet should help.

 

Besides reducing sugar intake, you also need to restrict starches - like pasta, potatoes, bread and the like

Also, remember many fruits are high in sugar.

Evening Elijah,

 

I was diagnosed last year with it and have gone with a Keto / Carnivore diet to get it into remission by following Dr Eric Berg and Dr Ken Berry on Youtube.

 

As already mentioned by John above, I have removed potatoes and other starchy vegetables, bread, rice and pasta from my diet.  I only cook with butter, ghee and olive oil after also removing seed, canola, rapeseed and other vegetable oils.

 

One of my main problems was a lack of meat in my diet by trying to be 'healthy' and eat vegetables instead.  However, I was never full and grazed a lot in the evenings on rubbish. I eat a lot more eggs, cheese & peanut butter and meat and am pretty full most of the time.

 

I hope the attached helps, but don't be put off also by having carnivore days (I do three consecutive ones a week).

As others have said, regular exercise and a very low carb diet. Your body reads all carbs as glucose. It doesn’t matter whether it’s pasta, rice, or table sugar. I like Dr. Eric Westman, an associate professor of medicine at Duke University. He’s pretty much made this his life’s work.
