    T2D Since 2000-HbA1c Sept 5.9% Off all Meds since July!

    Ah, were you tracking your diet with any app or so? I am really curious to know about how much calories from carbs, fat, protein you were getting in general. This is because I have found it is hard to be low in carbs following a vegan/vegetarian diet, in relation to the overall consumption of...

    How quickly does prediabetes move to full blown diabetes

    It depends a lot of the physiological problems you already have. It also depends a lot of the environment, diet, physical activity and sleep you have (since you have a new born you are experiencing a lot of a more demanding situation). I will suggest you to get for free or paid by yourself a...

    T2D Since 2000-HbA1c Sept 5.9% Off all Meds since July!

    Robert, but if you were on low-carb, low-fat, do you mean your diet was high-protein? or you mean it was overall low-calories? is it still the same now that you seem to aim for maintaining the weight and glucose leveles?

    High c-peptide results

    While not expert on that, I can give my two choices: 1. Your high C-peptide along with your high blood glucose indicates that your body was still trying to bring down the glucose through the night If you could have monitored your glucose through the night with a CGM or other device, we could...

    weird thing happen after eating a cherry pie...ideas?

    thanks @Pura Vida @helensaramay , @Nidge247 for your comments. The pie I ate was without any extra fat. Mostly sugars, a bit of protein and fat. I realized now that my body likes a combination of fructose (fruits) and glucose (wheat flour are long-chains of glucose). I read a paper about...

    How do I know if my diabetes is "REVERSED"?

    Wait, where did this version 1 come from? As per remission of diabetes, a scientific committee defined as normal fasting glucose levels and hba1c for at least one year without drugs.

    weird thing happen after eating a cherry pie...ideas?

    Hi all, i am following a time-restricted eating pattern with low carb. I started with a window for eating of 10 hours, progressively to only 6 hours. It seems to work quite well, perhaps worked too well :) Yesterday, after a nice bout of exercise, I tested myself, I ate like too much cherry...

    Prof Roy Taylor's work on reversing type 2 diabetes

    I have discussed this topic with bariatric surgeons. Yes there is still a calorie limit, but certainly not as little as 600 kcals. Certainly under the usual amount you used to eat, and perhaps even less than a person of your size without surgery. Now, you also have to take care of certain...

    My latest trial!

    Congratulations ! I think you are doing a great job. Once we awake from the soporific view of the doctors "You have dm, go and take your pills", then many things are possible. Would love to see how you manage to reverse your diabetes! Because I know you will do it, all the way to normal levels !

    Is it prediabetes?

    Here is my though. What do you think about those results? A: in general look ok. What were your values in the past? If you do not know, then use this as your baseline and retest after three months of good diet and physical activity. Is it normal to people without diabetes ever have a 8.1 blood...

    Success with moderate calorie diet?

    Interesting link. It seems our best bet is an acute weight loss. Scientist tried to repeat dm reversal after Taylor s research. For them it seemed that the acute calorie deficit has to be as big as with bariatric surgery. To see the discussion,Check Very Low–Calorie Diet Mimics the Early...

    Success stories about insulin resistance

    . My personal experiment is not so relevant, n=1. Also, keep in mind that it was the answer for a 19y old, never dm person. He has insulin resistance. For liver insulin resistance, a VLCD is a nice approach. I am going to focus on muscle insulin resistance. Having said this, reducing the...

    Success stories about insulin resistance

    Yes, I agree, high fat content promotes, or at least does not help with insulin sensitivity. And have tested in myself. Exercise increases insulin sensitivity. Look for a structured three-six month weight lifting program, 3 days a week. On the other three days, do a structured HIIT program as...

    Any idea on amount of fat loss needed to reverse prediabetes? (and a little about myself)

    And also according to dr Taylor, it is not the same to restrict your diet wth a few calories less than to decrease your intake by 60 or 70%. Sudden fat loss is what you want.
