My family doctor (who has been practicing medicine for nearly 40 years) has told me that a majority of type 2, non-insulin dependent diabetics (from his observations) can reverse their condition by simply losing weight to the desired level, diet and exercise.
He’s worked with people who have lost over 100 pounds and have changed their lives. They’re now off their meds (sugar, BP and Statins). Others have improved to a point where their meds have been halved or close to illiminated.
Type 2 diabetes for many is simply a case where the pancreas is “overloaded” and “overworked”. The pancreas can only produce enough insulin for a certain maximum weight and no higher (otherwise problems develop). Getting below the maximum “insulin weight” and the body will be in sugar balance.
Uh-huh. Well, I’m slender and very fit, I get a great deal of outdoor exercise each day, and my diet consists principally of protein and vegetables (mostly salads). And yet I’m working on developing a case of diabetes. No genetic history in the family. Bad luck, eh?
