"According to the paper from Newcastle ac that I posted Roy Taylor says good BGL control is insufficient to guarantee that there are no complications later. This is what he finds with the bariatric surgery patients, so will probably continue to find with the diet." Please would you post that link again. I have looked for it but can't find the one you are referring to here amongst the several others Thank you.
Hi after reading all your posts,
Just relax.
First of all read Dr Jason Fungs book the diabetic code. He explains it all very well. Give some ideas on to Reverse Diabetes and keep it away.
Secondly you have to think of it as a life style.
For me what worked was changing my eating habits, Low carb worked wonders for me. Also exercising more.
The other thing is test yourself 30, 60, 90 mins after a meal and see what spike you blood glucose levels. Then avoid or accept that you will have a spike.
All of us on here will probably never be able to go back to the way we use to eat, but once you get control. You can afford a cheat meal or two now and again.
If you control your blood sugars you'll keep the complications away and possibly repair the damage. DR Jason Fungs has examples of this.
If you want more examples of people reversing their diabetes. Look up a channel on youtube called beat diabetes and watch some on the interviews. Lots of people there have smashed and beat diabetes.
