Diabetes

Type II diabetes is a progressive condition that can result in serious illnesses like having gangrene or kidney failure. During the early stage, it's important to manage and strictly follow doctor's order. My aunt was diagnosed type 2 diabetes 9 years ago, she ignored doctor's orders and haven't taken her medicines seriously. Now, she has CKD. It's important to manage diabetes to prolong the damage it's gonna do to your body.

My brother reversed his type 2 diabetes with diet. Not low carb, but Weight Watchers. Just portion control and eating healthy foods allowed him to lose 147 pounds and his diabetes went away. He used to have very bad ulcers on his legs that wouldn't heal. His heart, kidneys and liver were suffering too. Now he has a clean bill of health. He couldn't walk before and now he walks between 5 and 7 miles a day 5 days a week.. depending on the route he takes is the difference in mileage. I'm so proud of him.

My brother was diagnosed with diabetes and put on Metformin in March. He was allergic to it and was given another medicine. He finally got serious about his food, and has just in general reduced the amount of refined carbs he takes in. He also went back to lifting weights. He travels for his job, so he just gave himself some general guidelines. He does not do sandwiches, or burgers, but does salads for his meals. He eats a lot more vegetables. If they do make sandwiches at home he uses flatbread. He has been able to quit taking his medicine as of October. He says they told him to continue eating this way, to lose weight, which is hard for him and to continue exercising. I guess the key for him is eating lots of non starchy veggies. Do not count potatoes as your vegetable.

Atkins wrote about it so did others long before him. Perhaps you can find more info about it on the internet/library?

Avoiding eating food that is high in sugar and avoiding eating too much rice can help to minimize your sugar level. When my grandma has get mild stroke because of her diabetes the doctor advice her to eat only fruits and vegetables like apple and carrots. She become healthy again after following the doctor said. I think herbal medicine also really help..

Iam not sure whether it is possible to reverse diabetes as it is considered as a chronic disease but what I know is that it is very manageable. The most importanct thing that works well is combination of medication, exercise and diet. Diet depends on caloric intake of individual and how high the blood sugar level is.
