Reversing Type 2 diabetes is relatively easy with some education and discipline.

None of which the hospital offered. He went in not feeling well, with a glucose level over 400. They gave him some pills and sent him on his way. No ****. We have been learning what we need on our own.

Mom has kept him around 100 with a diet change.

A friend had a similar experience. His doctor put him on popular med but the dose was too high and he ended up in the hospital with extreme low blood sugar. 4 days later when released he started doing his own research and ended up adopting a Keto diet. The results were good.
I am also on a Keto diet.

Here is the yogurt from Walmart that I eat daily. It has some added sugars but I look at total calorie count and fat content. After retirement I got serious with A1C and weight control. Switched over from Jardiance to Rybelsus for my diabetes med, it is the oral form of Ozympic. I use the MyFitnessPal app to track intake and weight. You set your weight loss goal and as you lose weight, it reduces your daily caloric count. I am down to 2000 calories a day, which is where I will stay. I am more active now, not sitting in an office at the hospital all day. Keeping up the place and catching up on my projects, plus the honey-do list.

With all the above, I have lost 68 pounds since July 2023. My A1C in January 2024 was 5.9, down from 6.7 in June 2023.

That is basically what he is adopting. Doctors in Michigan are f*ing terrible. They always have been in my experience.

The problem is looking for the remedy in a pill instead of the diet and exercise IMHO.

I researched this, and they do, if you take insulin injections. He doesn't. Unless that information is hard to find? It seems very restricted to people who use INSULIN daily.

I believe that might be correct. Can you go with him and ask his doc?

I live 6 hours away. Best I can do is tell them what to ask. I did run his information through a benefits check, and it said he didn’t qualify.

that's a remarkable accomplishment, nice going

Do we have enough dexcom CGM user's to start a thread about them? Let me know your thoughts.

"The FDA greenlit marketing for the Dexcom Stelo Glucose Biosensor System on Tuesday, making it the first over-the-counter (OTC) continuous glucose monitor (CGM) available for purchase, according to an FDA news release.1 The device will be available summer 2024."

FDA Approves First Over-the-Counter Continuous Glucose Monitor

Starting summer 2024, individuals across the US will be able to purchase a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) without needing a prescription.

I work just chime in with others that many times diabetes can be reversed. I reversed pre diabetes with intermittent fasting… which helped me lose the extra body fat.

Doctors don’t really stress that. The best treatment often is free.

And if you need a little help with the fasting part there is a 5 day fasting mimicking diet Prolon company that makes it easy. (consult with your dr if taking a prescription because it might have to be reduced)

When mentioning something like this you should always clarify Type 2 Diabetes. Type 1 is not reversible. It can be misleading to people who are not familiar with it.

Yes in Type 1 diabetes the islet cells have been substantially or completely killed, many times by the immune system itself.

Even type 1 diabetics can improve their condition by losing fat and getting in shape.

Science is gaining in this area, it is important not to believe everything your doctor tells you, because the condition is not well understood by average doctors.

Who knows if the body can regrow islet cells? And you what extent? And what can be done to help the process? ——fasting——fasting——fasting—-

NIH study:
Natural restrictions on the islet regeneration are very tight; nevertheless, the islets are capable of physiological regeneration via β-cell self-replication, direct differentiation of multipotent progenitor cells and spontaneous α- to β- or δ- to β-cell conversion (trans-differentiation).


Too much info to get into, but the body can do many things in a fasted state that will not happen when constantly processing food.

Which is why I’m selling you my knowledge in this matter for only $19.99, send to @tractortroof thank you very much.

And definitely don’t get medical advice from TBN lol

From a BBC article

The pancreas can be triggered to regenerate itself through a type of fasting diet, say US researchers. Restoring the function of the organ - which helps control blood sugar levels - reversed symptoms of diabetes in animal experiments. The study, published in the journal Cell, says the diet reboots the body.

Or even worse their specialists.
I'm on warfarin/coumadin to prevent blood clotting. Vitamin K (phylloquinone) affects blood clotting.
My diet had included 1/4 cup of cabbage daily.
The "coumadin specialty clinic" advised me to stop taking 500mg turmeric capsules because turmeric contains Vitamin K.
100g of green cabbage (little over a cup) contains 170mcg. Thus my daily regime included about 40mcg of Vitamin K.
1 capsule of turmeric contains about 0.1 mcg.
Like all else,
Trust but verify.

Fasting-Mimicking Diet Promotes Ngn3-Driven β-Cell Regeneration to Reverse Diabetes - PubMed

Stem-cell-based therapies can potentially reverse organ dysfunction and diseases, but the removal of impaired tissue and activation of a program leading to organ regeneration pose major challenges. In mice, a 4-day fasting mimicking diet (FMD) induces a stepwise expression of Sox17 and Pdx-1...

Diabetes - a disease of national epic proportions. A disease that most in the field want to treat not prevent. There is no where near the profit in prevention.
