[QUOTE="STARRYNIGHTS, post: 1778236, member: 470282"] There is actually very well documented success in not only reversing Pre-diabetes, but also full blown diabetes, in people who follow a whole food, plant based, NO ADDED OILS diet with a total intake of fat from natural sources such as avocado and olives kept below 10%. The added bonus is also the Lipid panels falling to much better levels etc and cutting risk of heart disease. I was eating alot of fat, which was the problem! I have cut the fat out and my levels have improved. You are right - if you do NOTHING , you will have a big problem on your hands! People that are actually proactive, and research and take the best approach for them, usually have a better chance at success. Which for either camp means cutting out the ****, the sweets, the pizzas and sodas, and eating a different way. I think alot of people put it in the "too hard basket" and just continue on, which is what my Aunty did and she is the classic case of terrible consquences with her health. Eating lots of carbohydrates with alot of fat is asking for trouble! You can either do one, or the other. I got a wake up call with that blood test and it was the motivator for me to finally put down the chocolate bars and change, and by the time they let me have the next test, it was much better! My hba1c was 35, and hopefully next test even better as that was while still eating white naan breads with my soup and white rice etc occasionally, and i was having a bagel for breakfast every morning, which I now do not do. I knew to stop eating refined sugars, but i didn't realise I should only pick the whole grains, and not the white. I know better now as I joined a group of experienced people that have helped me work it out, many who have been very ill with diabetes and now are not. Everyone needs to take control of their own health, as it's their body that suffers the consequence. I have read info from both camps, and this is the route I choose, and it is showing results. I think it's important to be open minded and also to allow others to do what they know is working for them even if it's different from what we would choose. [/QUOTE]
