[QUOTE="Pipp, post: 2393655, member: 100904"] Hello [USER=542188]@Myrie[/USER], and welcome. There could follow a debate on what is meant by ‘reversal’ of T2 diabetes. Having searched for 16 years for that ‘Holy Grail’ myself, I am content to settle for well controlled T2 , and no diabetic complications. As you are newly diagnosed, if your underlying T2 has not been brewing for years you could be fortunate enough to return to non-diabetes blood glucose levels, with a bit of effort. Though that could be short lived if you revert to your previous diet and lifestyle. As , [USER=258123]@muzza3[/USER] has mentioned, some people use the Newcastle diet as a quick remedy. I have used that method , too. For me it was an acceptable alternative to bariatric surgery that had been touted by medics as the only solution to my obesity problem. I chose the very low calorie diet, and lost a lot of weight, very quickly, and my diabetes seemed resolved. My GP wanted to take me off the diabetes register. Where I erred was that I did not have a long term diet plan in place for after the calorie restriction phase of the Newcastle diet. Some say that is a starvation diet, but with the carefully selected meal replacement products you are not starved of nutritional requirements, and it is a short term calorie deficit, rather than nutritional deprivation. I often wonder if, knowing more about such things as Low Carb diets, and Intermittent Fasting I would have chosen the same route. No turning back the clock, so I am guessing I would, as I was desperate to avoid diabetes complications, and shed the excess weight. Though now I would have a follow on plan, which I adhere to, which is low carb diet, with some fasting. You don’t mention, [USER=542188]@Myrie[/USER] what your HbA1c level is, when you were diagnosed, or if you have been prescribed medication? So not knowing I will be cautious about advice. If you have been prescribed meds, whatever method of eating / diet you choose should be a gradual change. In short, it is possible for people with T2 to return to non-diabetes blood glucose levels. Many members have, by various methods. Have a read round the forums. This could be a good start. [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/reversing-diabetes.html[/URL] Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
