“Type 2 diabetes is reversible”
Just dear friend reversed hers in six months through strict dieting. (Six months later she was gone by metastatic breast cancer.)
So sorry to hear your friend is gone. We just lost one in the last 2 weeks to metastatic breast cancer. Appeared to be doing fine after a tough time (port got infected, then sepsis, issues with tolerating chemo plus some other stuff). After chemo & a partial mastectomy, scans were clear, she was home after a long hospital stay & very optimistic. Her doctor was shocked when she ‘suddenly’ had it in her liver, bones & brain (”this shouldn’t be happening now” he said), ... all over really. Her backbone/spine turned to “dust” as another friend described it. Very sad - this woman was beloved by many, a tireless worker for the church & a particular women’s group, both on a local and national level. And if you’re wondering, yes she “was” - couldn’t wait to get it so she could be ‘safe’ and travel.
I reversed pre-T2D/metabolic syndrome with diet. The only thing that was ‘strict’ was limiting carbs. You can still eat very well low carb & no calorie counting or deprivation required. The added benefit was losing 65 lbs in the process (and a lot of inflammation including some arthritis) - feel the best I’ve ever felt.
