Instead of messing around with drugs and exercise, a new technique may actually *reverse* type 2 diabetes, reactivating the cells long thought dead or non-functioning to produce normal amounts of insulin.

It’s not easy, but for 2 months the diabetic person must live on a 600 calorie a day diet of liquids and non-starchy vegetables.

Two months to be diabetes free. That result was found in 7 of 11 patients. A lot of hunger, but to be free of the curse...

That sounds a lot like what I did. And it works. My BS is steady at 80-100. 5.5 A1C.

I was warned that my metabolism would slow down and that I’d gain weight after I stopped the diet, but the opposite held true for me. When I stopped, I could eat a LOT more than I ever could before and hardly gained weight. (and I was *seriously* bad. I have not been eating well at all! I’ve never been so hungry.) After about two months, things have finally settled down and I’m back on the diet.
