If you stop eating the way you did to get to normal blood sugar they would go back up . a cure would be if that did not happen and they stay normal if you return to your old ways,I have normal blood glucose levels and am not on any meds. I consider that cured.
Yes it is.If you stop eating the way you did to get to normal blood sugar they would go back up . a cure would be if that did not happen and they stay normal if you return to your old ways,
Congratulations on having normal readings, but its not a cure
As far as I'm concerned, if I can eat what I like to eat, and I now like eating things that are good for me , if I acn have the occasional treat of something that is not quite so good and still get blood sugar reactions better than the 10 healthy athetes I posted about, whilst at the same time my medical insurers cannot find any trace of diabetes in their standard testing for diabetes. I consider myself cured of two things a) diabetes and b) the inclination to eat c**p foods .Yes it is.

Most people of your dad's generation ate carbs @donnellysdogs What they did not eat was the modern Western diet comprising ready meals, take-a-ways, processed food, nasty industrialised vegetable oils, and not forgetting grazing, snacking, and huge massive portions.
My 2 grandmas lived to their mid 90's, all their many siblings did likewise, so did great grandma, my mum lived to 89, dad only managed it to 72. None had diabetes as far as they or I were aware. They ate carbs - home made pies were almost a daily occurrence. They just did not have all the rubbish that is available today, and ate 3 square meals and maybe a small light supper at bedtime. This is most likely a reason all of them lived long and healthy lives, not even a glimmer of arthritis either.
Virtually everyone who lived to be 94 ate carbs. But so did the people who only made it to 60.
If you have taken offense to any of my posts, then I apologize. None was intended.And the difference is 34 years !
As I personally knew what he was like and ate, I hope to live to a long life like him. This will be last time I will talk about my father on this thread, I have said what I needed to say about a very dear and lovely person..
Whilst I agree with what you say, it is not the whole story. The biggest difference is that nowadays we sit on our backsides all day on the way to work, at work, on the way home, then sit on our arses watching TV all night. All the time we are in warm houses, offices, and cars so we aren't even burning fuel to keep warm, and probably only need 1000-1200 KCal/day to keep us going.
With more exercise, people could possibly even cope with todays **** diet, it would certainly give people more chance!
Maybe true, but on the other hand, if you take no exercise at all, you will be sick whatever you eat.Someone once said 'You can't outrun a bad diet' and that is true imo.

Whilst your condition is obviously regrettable, it is not typical and most people, even without full mobility can do some appropriate exercise. It is probable that you would get even better figures if this was possible in your case.I am wheelchair bound, unable to take excercise of any sort. Even resistive bands proved too painful and yet if you look at my signature I havn't done too badly overall.

Exercise is undoubtedly good for general health, but I am not at all sure of the benefits as far as blood sugars are concerned. Diet (and medication if appropriate) is the key. I am not sedentary as such but I don't "exercise". I take my dog for walks, I do housework when I have to, I walk round the house, I go up and down the stairs many times a day because my office is upstairs. I do not do anything else. BUT I have always done these things. What I haven't done is add anything extra. Yet I am well controlled, lost all my excess weight, and have maintained this status since 2014. Walking actually raises my levels. Goodness knows what a session in a gym would do. Exercise is not the be all and end all in my case. A correct diet is.
For most (not all but most) T2s, they are at diagnosis overweight and not physically active. It may be dangerous for them to be told that the key is to cut out all/most carbs, eat more fat and that exercise is not relevant. This doesn't improve the body's ability to deal with carbs or increase physical health, it just avoids the problem.
