Who the hell weighs 90 pounds? And effing midget? I’ve seen enough people on their deathbed weighing that. 5’7 and 160 and still pre diabetic. What did I get from working out all the time and eating better? Vertigo and fainting spells. I felt better when I was fatter. Im finding a diet that gives me a quick heart attack so I can check out quicker without any long goodbyes.

Folks, apparently you just need to lose 10-15% of your body weight. If you are 200 pounds, at most, that means getting to 170, or losing 30 pounds.

I'd suggest then eating a lower carb-type of diet, but eating to maintain your new weight should keep your blood sugars okay. This doesn't fully reverse the damage of diabetes, but it does mean you won't have more degeneration and you won't need drugs, if done right.

You still have diabetes, but it's no longer capable of affecting you, if you stay balanced in the new approach (don't eat 2,000 calories of sweets a day for your meals, all at once).

There are some study examples of intermittent fasting and keto that bring people near 600-800 calories a day (called pseudo-fasting) for five days out of something like each 40 days, and this was found to migrate stem cells into the pancreas and rebuild beta cells, so it may be possible to fully reverse diabetes, over time.
