Hi Everybody: The first week of July is my 24th year as a type 2 diabetic, My only anti-diabetes med is no less than 100 minutes/day of stair-running. I say only because my daily meals have always been mostly carbohydrates like fruits, vegetables, grains (rice and corn), nuts, beans, roots. It...

Hi Everybody: I have been using daily exercise as my only way of controlling my type 2 diabetes for 23 years and 6 months. Since most of my foods are carbohydrates (yes, carbohydrates are notorious for creating high fasting and after-meal blood sugar readings but they have not harmed me yet), I...

Thank you very much for posting the lecture of Prof. Roy Taylor. It really was very enlightening. This is not to contradict anything that Prof. Taylor said about type 2 diabetes. I very well know that all of us type 2s are different: we think differently, we do things differently, and foods and...

I love your success story, Woodall14. It clearly confirms what I have been learning since my diagnosis as a type 2 diabetic in July 1991. My diagnosis fasting blood sugar reading was 468 mg/dl. I was supposed to be on several anti-diabetes pills. Luckily, I was able to convince our family...

Based on my personal experience with my type 2 diabetes for more than 22 years, I can confidently say that my beta cells have always been as productive as they should be. Here's my story: I was diagnosed in July 1991 as a t2d based on a fasting blood sugar reading of 468 mg/dl. I was then...

Hi Paul, In telling you my story, I don't mean to encourage you to follow anything that I have been doing. My main objective here is to encourage you to keep on experimenting with different kinds of foods in combination with daily physical activities. In all the 22 years that I have been a type...

johnlfitz, I wish to make it very clear that I am not an expert on anything. I am just a plain type 2 diabetic. Early next month, it will be exactly my 22nd year as a type 2 exercising 4x/day, 30 minutes before each meal and before bedtime, and eating real foods (mostly carbohydrates) 3x/day...

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...

johnlfitz, Congratulations on reversing your diabetes!!! I love reading stories like yours. They confirm my strong belief that type 2 diabetes is not a progressive disease. In my particular case, since my diagnosis in July 1991 (my diagnosis fasting blood sugar reading was 468 mg/dl so I was...

Superchip - Thanks for asking. I am not selling anything. I am trying very hard to encourage other type 2 diabetics to look for their own way of getting a life like they have no diabetes. I have been successful at it for more than 21 years so it can surely be done by others. Have you known...

Hi Everybody - May I introduce myself by requesting you to read my short story: http://www.diabeteshealth.com/read/2012/09/24/7659.html There is a minor correction to the story: I will be 77 years old in January 2013. I was diagnosed a type 2 diabetic in July 1991 based on a fasting blood...

Daibell, Thank you very much for your feedback. I love it when I get the chance to meet different people with diabetes who also have other different problems. It makes me appreciate more all things that I have, good and bad. I really wish that I were smart enough to know what to tell you...

Bonny I read your post and I congratulate you on your ability to exercise and carefully control your diabetes that way. A lot of what you explained makes sense ... but only if you are a diabetic who is able and in a position to exercise in the first place. Many people have other medical...

Thank you very much, Grazer, for taking the time to read the latest conversations. You are not being mean by telling the truth as far as you are concerned. Just to emphasize that I want to reach as many newly-diagnosed type 2 diabetics and prediabetics and to tell them that, like me, they can...
