[QUOTE="bonnynemia, post: 392100, member: 40096"] donquinn, I will not use the words "reversed" or "cured" insofar as my type 2 diabetes is concerned. I will always be a diabetic. What I have been saying is that "I have been enjoying life like I have no diabetes." When I was diagnosed as a type 2 in July 1991, my diagnosis fasting blood sugar reading was 468 mg/dl. I was required to be on several anti-diabetes pills. I refused to take them. Our family physician then required me to take a stress test. As soon as I passed it, he said something like this: "Now you can try to kill yourself by exercising." Exercise I did every day by running the stairs 4x/day (before each meal and before bedtime). After 16.5 years, I gave up stair-running because I started to feel pain in both knees. I did not like to have knee replacements. So I switched to power-walking indoor, jogging in place, and modified push-ups. The foods I have been eating are real ones: heart-healthy, natural, fresh (raw or cooked), unprocessed, and whole (most of them being carbohydrates). Strictly speaking, I have not been treating my diabetes. What I have actually been doing for 22 years is to exercise as much and as hard as I can and to eat the right foods to be healthy, strong, happy, and have a long life. So far so good. I have no diabetes complications yet, never had any hypoglycemic problems, and have been enjoying life like I have no diabetes. Bonny Damocles Male, 77 1/2 years old, 139 lbs., 5'7" Daily exercise is my only anti-diabetes (4x/day) Carbohydrates have caused my blood sugar levels go high 4x/day (fasting and 2 hours after each meal) Past A1c's: 5.2% to 6.3% [/QUOTE]
