[QUOTE="AM1874, post: 1410378, member: 379847"] Hi Folks, There is a lot of debate on this forum about whether or not Type 2 diabetes can be reversed. This has been highlighted with the recent study claiming that [URL='http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/diet-%C3%A2%C2%80%C2%98reverses-diabetes-in-just-10-weeks%E2%80%99-claims-new-study.117669/#post-1410249']T2 can be reversed in just 10 weeks by following an LCHF diet[/URL] (thanks to [USER=256617]@Mbaker[/USER] for bringing this to our attention) If, as many claim, reversal is possible, then isn't it something that all Type 2s should (would) be seeking to achieve? Is it a universal truth .. or is it just for some with a particular physiological quirk? Is it wishful thinking .. is it an urban myth .. or is it just a question of semantics? .. does "reversed" actually mean: arrested, managed, in remission or whatever? Personally, I am unclear about this issue as yet and, until I am able to make a definitive decision, my day-to-day focus is not to try to reverse my diabetes but to control and manage it through 4 key strategies ... [INDENT]# Being seriously carb-conscious and committing to an LCHF lifestyle, rather than a diet # Stopping damage to my body from the 2 (or 3) pints of lager that I used to drink most days # Upping my exercise regime by adding a daily 2 mile jog to my 3 rounds of golf every week # Monitoring weight and blood pressure daily, testing my BG levels and eating to my meter[/INDENT] I am not operating to any particular timeframe but my targets are clear .. [INDENT]# To organise my diabetes management so that it becomes a minor or non-issue in my life # To reduce my HbA1c, Cholesterol and BG to levels within or below non-Diabetes range # To change my life and ways of living to ensure that I can maintain these levels – permanently[/INDENT] Then, if that constitutes reversal .. well, my mind will have been made up [/QUOTE]
