reverse diabetes

Hi all, I'm new here so please don't judge if I ask silly questions. My father is insulin dependent and has been for 33 years, he is now 66 years of age. He started off just monitoring his sugar levels for a few years. He then went to dietary controlled and quite quickly on to insulin. He...

My mum bought me a book called ‘The Reverse Diabetes Diet’ and it’s basically a vegan plan. I’m currently completely unmanaged and my sugars are out of control so thought I might give it a go for January as a few of my colleagues are attempting Veganuary. Has anyone else tried a vegan diet and...

Hi everyone, I have been a Type 2 diabetic for about 4 years having an initial Hba1c level of 112. Since diagnosed, I have gradually reduced my levels down to 68, then 50 and today my blood tests results sow a Hba1c level of 45. Most recently I think this achieved through exercise and diet. I...

so I checked my blood 1 hours after my meal it was 7.4, completely normal Then 1.5 hrs later I checked 8.9 so was very surprised as I rarely get those numbers. So I check 30 mins later, and it was 5.1 mmol. So was that 8.9 most likely an error?, I didn’t wash my hands as it was only 30...

so today I went for my first blood test since being diagnosed 3 months ago . The nurse was lovely she asked how my weight loss has been going which I told her is fantastic, she checked my blood pressure and said the top number was perfect but the bottom number is just a tiny bit high. So I...

so someone who’s recently been diagnosed and maybe got their blood sugar to non diabetic levels, can they fix their metabolism and have the same amount of insulin sensitivity compared to a healthy non diabetic

how long have you been in remission for? Has it been harder than you thought to maintain normal blood glucose levels? Has your diet slightly changed since going into remission (are you more strict with your diet or can be a tiny bit flexible)

As a type 2, through diet and exercise can you increase your insulin sensitivity a lot better than before like someone without diabetes?

From doing a lot of research I’ve read that lentils, beans and pulses are better carbs as it has high fibre which doesn’t spike blood sugars, I saw at work we do a red lentil fussili, all it contains is red lentils and water and has 19g protein per portion, 44g carbs, 0.9g fat... Is this a much...

How many carbs do you eat? I know everyone with diabetes is different and some can handle more carbs than others. Also what sort of carbs do you eat?

I guess this question is for those who have controlled bg or as some would say ‘reversed’ or ‘in remission’ For those who lost quite a bit of weight through diet and exercise did you insulin sensitivity increase? Are you able to eat more carbohydrates than before? I know everyone with...
