Preventable? Yes. Curable? No.
You can put it in remission and go off all meds.
My Dad also had it...was in remission for years...emaciated at 93, came back....
You can’t re-grow your insulin receptors. When they are gone, they are GONE.
Decrease carbs.
Actually it get worst as time went along and I had to stop.
Turn the government’s “food pyramid” upside down and you’ll do better.
I know. Would somebody please define “whole gains?!?”
It takes along time (few months) to get used to eating them

Spent 5 years eating “healthy” whole grains as my weight, glucose, and insulin injections increased. Found Dr. Fung, eliminated all those Whole grains, brown rice, sweet potatoes, and vegetable pasta that are so healthy for you. I lost 65 pounds, have stopped taking 180 units of insulin a day, and have an A1C of 6.2. Don’t believe anyone that tells you certain grains are good. They are all bad. Some heart-healthy whole-grain cereals have a higher carb count than froot loops.
Carbs are poison for Type 2’s and the quickest way to diabetic complications is to eat carbs. It’s very simple, avoid carbs, and diabetes is far less damaging.
And, having said that, diabetes is a HUGE money maker for big-med, so articles like this are to be expected.
“Eat tons of GREEN veggies and lean meats.”
Agree with all, but meat should be fatty if not eating carbs...because low-fat, combined with low carbs, will drive up protein...and that that stresses kidneys, a lot.
Yes, to some fats. I prefer to get mine in avocados, salmon, cheese, etc.
all I know is when I lost a whole bunch of weight and felt great I was eating cereal every morning, and sometimes I’ have it for lunch...usually wheaties or cheerios with skim milk....now I feel guilty if I eat it because of the anti cereal no carb cabal....
“Yes, to some fats. I prefer to get mine in avocados, salmon, cheese, etc.”
That’s good, then.
Sounds like Archer Daniels Midland’s Last Gasp...
Take the gun. Leave the canola.
For us it is mostly meat, whole fat dairy and lots of veggies.
My mom is better off with low fat.
A friend of mine is basically a lacto-vegetarian.
It is all in what works for you.
I will not bring up my niece who eats everything under the sun, is down right skinny and very healthy because she is a total freak of nature. It is good thing the rest of us love her so much.
On my labs, 5.6 is considered non-diabetic.
I see what you did there. LOL
Right, force feed diabetics with carbs. LOL. You can’t make this stuff up.
BINGO
What fresh nonsense is this? You should eat less than about a cup of grains a day, preferably none, but if you include nuts, seeds, and beans, a cup a day but not every day should be ok. If you HAVE DIABETES already, eat low carb and have your carbs be root vegetables or nuts. No grains. No breads. This amount of carbs would make me fat. And diabetic. That is crazy.
You don’t have to eat tons of green veggies. Just add vegetables in small quantities to your meats. And definitely eat potatoes over beans. Gut bugs love potato starch and they are our digestion, our immune system, and our brain moods.
