[QUOTE="Sangre, post: 2056547, member: 427430"] I have been diabetic for 8 years. I wish I had known what I’m about to tell you when I was told I was pre-diabetic because I could’ve reversed it. Now, I’m hoping I can drive my type 2 into remission. I have gone on a Keto food plan. I don’t buy all the expensive powders, but I have replaced all grains with almond and coconut flours and I do most of my own baking so that I can still enjoy breads and cakes. Sugar is replaced with xylitol and stevia and monk fruit. I eat lots of nonstarchy veggies and lean meats, as well as nuts and full fat dairy. I have never, ever been hungry on this low carb eating plan. I consume less than 50 grams of carbs per day and I have so much more energy than I ever did. My avg blood sugar readings most days at either non or pre diabetic levels. I have been doing this since the end of January. At first, I also got on my treadmill or stationary bike for 20 minutes within two hours after each meal. This had the effect of draining all my sugar stores from my liver and muscles so that my body could begin to burn fat, which is called being in a state of ketosis. Now I just walk a lot during the day, or go to an exercise class. I bet you are early enough into this disease that you can save your pancreas and liver and retrain your mitochondria to become more sensitive to the insulin your body still produces with this simple formula.
