Type 2 Diabetes is Reversible!

Great news, Jen. Its wonderful what a proper approach to diet can do. There is an feeling in the population that if you've got something wrong, Drs have got a medicine for it.

They do, of course, tell diabetics to eat a healthy diet, but as they teach a diet rich in starchy carbs, it just doesn't work. Your diet is basically what I eat. No obvious carbs. It change my life from crippling neuropathy to playing tennis again within 3 months. Two years on I'm still fit & well.

We are, of course, still diabetic, as we find out with dietary indiscretions.

I'll look up that web site.

Yes, I think the title of this thread is a little misleading, i was half expecting a new daily fail article, as it is not really reversing diabetes, which would give the impression that you can become cured

I'ts hardly reversible. It is containable for some, but not all type 2's. A lot depends on how long you have had diabetes before a diagnosis is made.
It might help a newly diagnosed if they did not have this forum but it is all here and free of charge.

hi
its not helping me with my eating disorder and type 2
i'm hungry and just eating at moment - i've gone too long without food and am in middle of a binge, just so hungry - tomorrow im gonna start again and eat properly - i wont give up

hi feeling better now so stopped eating - not too bad really but i shall be very careful tomorrow to have better planned meals and so on so that i can avoid feeling bad like today, and then bingeing. but ok now

Hi dollydreamer,

You are quite right, having a planned menu is the way to go, as it gives you a structure and something to work to.

Yes it is and the book is expensive at over £33 :shock:

That's the bad news

The good news is you can read it FREE of CHARGE, online here: http://tinyurl.com/ycojsx3

Never let it be said I'm not good to you guys... 8)

Timely news for some...?
Sanofi-aventis and CureDM have an agreement on a new human peptide Pancreate, which could "restore a patients’ ability to produce insulin and other pancreatic hormones in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes".

Another timely news item - "Scientists Cure Diabetes in Mice With Nanovaccine" this time researchers report in "Immunity" journal that they developed a kind of vaccine that reversed type 1 diabetes in mice afflicted with the disease.

I'm scepitical that it could help those of us with Type 2 who cannot afford to lose a lot of weight.

I'm 36 with a bmi of 23. There's not an awful lot of room to lower my high bg by losing weight alone.

I'll give that 'free' link a bit of read though just in case there is something magically different there to what I am already doing.

I agree with Jen: You CAN reverse type 2 diabetes.
I used to be one of those people who was very negative with a lot of apathy towards my diabetes.

After reading it seems 100s of books on diabetes, I had given up hope.Then, my wife told me about a friend of hers, who had gotten off Glucophage and lost 41 pounds. She went on the Internet and downloaded his program -- it's FREE! I was impressed with that! -- not having to buy ANOTHER book.

In the meantime, we watched some of his videos on Youtube, which were helpful. For an engineer, he told really good stories that were educational.

Within the first 30 days, my blood sugar average came down from 157 to 101. So, since it was working, my wife went ahead and bought the book "Death to Diabetes". After 90 days, my BS average was down to 89.4. My A1c went from 8.8 to 5.2%. After 6 months, my doc took me off all my drugs, including the blood pressure drugs. He asked me how I did it so I gave him my copy of the Death to Diabetes book. He read the book looking to criticize the author, but he actually liked the book, and was impressed with the author even though he's an engineer!

In fact, he kept the book, and I had to buy another book. But, this time I went to the author's website even though the book is more expensive than from Amazon; plus, my wife wanted his cookbook. I got 2 free CDs, a free DVD, a meal planner, and a free consultation with my order! I also got a free invite to one of his webinars or teleseminars, plus a lifetime newsletter subscription, and a bunch of other stuff!

But, what REALLY impressed me was that after about 60 days, his office called me and asked me how I was doing! I talked to one of their diabetes educators, and she put me in touch with the author, who was teaching a class. He took the time to talk with me and my wife and encourage me. I could tell he was very busy, but he stayed on the phone and answered all my questions, and my wife's questions!

There is no other place on this planet where you're going to get that type of service FOR FREE! And, I checked his consultation fees, which are expensive -- but, given what I learned, I would have gladly paid for the consultation.

It's clear to me now that I WAS THE PRIMARY REASON WHY I SUFFERED WITH DIABETES -- I WAS TOO NEGATIVE AND FULL OF APATHY. Now, I am trying to help others realize that it's within YOU if you have the courage to get better.

It's easy to complain. It's difficult to take responsibility for your own health and stop complaining and blaming others.

DEATH TO DIABETES: It's free, it's online at: http://www.deathtodiabetes.com plus the website has up-to-date research and other information abut diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, etc.

BEFORE I GOT WELL: If I had read this post when I was sick, I would have passed this off as another person trying to sell a book.

BUT: You don't even have to buy the book! But I'll bet that most of the comments will still be negative.

Why? Because you're in a negative place where it's easy to take shots at people who are doing better than you.

Hopefully, some of you will take the chance and become the person you're meant to be.

You're right, I do have a negative comment. You have made a negative comment that you bet most of our comments will be negative ones...that's very negative of you. :wink:

Here's some information for you dear. People come here as a pro-active approach to managing their diabetes, I don't see complaint or the blame game. Oh sorry, I do..we are in a "negative place and taking pot shots at others who are doing better than we are".

Tell you what. How's about YOU staying on the forum and answering people's questions..you have the expertise so why not share it? Not everyone has the time to read the book and besides, I'm sure some people would like some answers to relevant questions ie the type 2's who are not obese but actually skinny..how do they adapt the info in the book so they too can be "cured"?

Look forward to your regular input. 8)

Diabetes is reversible? Crack open the chocolate hobnobs.

I only read this as new comments were posted but what noice is that both enthusiastic supporters of this book have still only made the 1 comment each on the site, so maybe (just maybe, it's a possibility) I'm cynical and think that they were made up accounts to try drumming up sales for this book i've not been bothered to read despite their best efforts-oh and my blood sugar reading is fine despite not reading the book thanks for asking!

Totally with you on this on Gappy, its just spam, Ive not read it but I dont need to as Ive reversed my diabetes (well controlled it) with just the info on this forum and a handful of books I read.

Why everyone wants to rewrite low carb diet books is beyond me, oh yes, its to make money isn't it

I have had the same result with just cutting carbs to less than 30 a day. I don't need a book to tell me to do it. As far as reversable...I say it is controlled or managed, not reversed. If it were reversed, I should be able to go eat 3 donuts and have normal bgl's.

SALES PITCH SPAM!!!
