    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

    For those who are in remission/reversed their diabetes- how long have you been in remission for

    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)

    Can you increase your insulin sensitivity to a good standard.

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

    Is red lentil pasta better than whole wheat?

    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...

    Hopefully.... :) Carrying on from my last post about changes after diagnosis, I went in for my first BG test and review since diagnosis of T2 in October, I was first diagnosed with a hba1c reading of 49. My results have come back with a reduced reading of 41, happy girl, woohoo! Officially...

    Increased insulin sensitivity

    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...

    After reversing T2D questions

    Hi, I'm doing a diet and regular (and vigorous) exercise 6 - 7 times a week. Already lost 3+ stones. I expect my doctor to take me off Metformin (2x 500mg / day) soon - even before my diet and weight loss the HbA1c was 49 - 50 and I'm hoping that it will be much lower than that now (I'll go for...

    Hi all, I'd really appreciate your advice or just general experiences. I had a random blood test for food poisoning turns out my blood results were 48, the diabetic diagnosis is 47 apparently.

    Do You Class Yourself As A) Reversed B) In Remission C) Controlled D) Other And Why

    I'm classing myself as in remission as my last hba1c was 41. Its in the 'normal' range (under 42). I would not class it as that if it was over 41 though. As far as im aware Professor Roy Taylor, Dr David unwin and virta health define reversed/remission as sub 48. I'm just wondering what...
