    Type 2 Anyone on this forum that has reversed/controlled their diabetes without going very low carb?

    Yes, Yes and Yes. I eat quite a bit of carbs that are locked in whole grains and whole beans and whole fruit besides other not carb heavy foods like nuts brocoli, kale,, peppers etc. I try not to mess around with anything that is mostly intact grains and beans. I eat re fried beans non fat...

    Could Baked Beans be the answer?

    Other than the fiber in beans causing the body to be delayed and inhibited from extracting the glucose out of it, there is phytic acid itself which has amazing properties. Don't believe the nonsense about the "anti-nutrient". Phytic acid is great for you and is also abundant in whole grain...

    Metformin substitute

    I read that Berberine is as effective as Metformin. I have no problems whatsoever with Metformin but if I had to choose, I'd go with Berberine in pill or capsule form. I have tried Berberine powder because it's cheaper but it tastes like poison and the poison taste lingers for a long time. Good...

    I like that diet. A lot. Whole grains like hulless barley with the entire seed structure intact..( no bread) Whole olives but not much oil.

    Will 20% weightloss reverse my prediabetes?

    Yup there are times I think I'm completely reversed only to realize it's only because of being shielded like holding the shield of Captain America that I'm protected. I look at it as not so much being sick or vulnerable but I only have to hold up the shield at all times. The shield weighs about...

    Could Baked Beans be the answer?

    I'm sorry to hear about your diabetic neuropathy. Was your blood sugars high for too long before the 600 calorie diet? I rinse off all the sauce and even boil it for a few minutes and rinse again and surprisingly there's still a lot of flavor and hopefully only a small amount of sugar that...

    Fasting For Type 2's

    I changed dramatically the way I fast based on googling autopagy and how it works and how long it takes for it to kick in. If it seems that autophagy complicates fasting, for me anyway, it refined fasting to what I want my fasting to accomplish. It made it simpler. I do two 36 hour near zero...

    could intermittent fasting be the solution

    Yes it can but there is a problem with only fasting till noon because autophagy doesn't kick in until about 16 hours or so after you last ate. Autophagy has a myriad of benefits in addition to losing weight and the best variety for myself is two 36 non consecutive fasts with no more than 100...

    There is a cure.. how come nobody does this?

    Congratulation on your endeavor. I have to tell you, Newcastle devotees are few and far between. After speaking to most folks, their eyes glaze over like they were looking at a 3 headed martian. The old saying, "it's not for everyone" doesn't apply to Newcastle. It is for most people and even...

    Reactive Hypoglycaemia

    I had it in my late teens 20's once in a while. Sometimes it would come on real bad after a high fat meal (with or without carbs). I felt all my energy was drained out of me, sweaty, extremely shaky and dying from hunger even if I just ate. I felt beyond craving sugar but felt almost like it...

    Fatty Liver

    Hello....I just found by Googling that I should measure my waist properly standing up but also lying down. The difference between the two show the inches of visceral fat I have. Some fat is always in the liver but a large belly and Type 2 is a virtual guarantee that there is excess fat in the...
