Is it possible to reverse diabetes when you have it? Why?
When I was young, my diet was not good, plus I was busy with my career and had too much pressure, so I had diabetes for 10 years, and at the beginning I took medicine to control it, and I didn't have to control my diet, but my blood sugar was around 8.5. Because that time is only 35 years old, worried about it, and then also considered gastric bypass surgery, see the postoperative meal is too much trouble, gave up. Later, I consulted a lot of information at home and abroad, and started a zero-sugar and low-carbon diet, usually eating only vegetables and fish, meat, eggs and milk, all the rice and noodles and other high-carbon foods are not eaten, and occasionally eat some dumplings and buns, and eat fruits almost every day, and maintain a moderate amount of exercise. Now, without medication or injections, fasting blood glucose is around 6.2, and glycation index is around 5.6, which is basically a reversal of diabetes indicators!
Last year for other reasons to the provincial hospital hospitalization, I said I diabetes doctor did not believe, because from the laboratory results are normal, and once suspected that I was misdiagnosed, and later in the examination found that diabetes is still not the same as normal people! The doctor was interested in my approach to diet control and I gave him a lesson in passing! Vanity huh! Catch interest in the sugar friends can follow me, communicate with each other to learn! Wish the majority of sugar friends a speedy recovery !
Recently, many experts in the medical field are mentioning a "reversal of diabetes" concept (not the same as a cure), after the reversal can be through diet control and exercise, no drugs and no injections can control blood sugar. One of the great certainty of reversal is the young obese sugar lovers!
It is not severe diabetes and there is every possibility of reversal. I suffered from three high (blood pressure, blood lipids, blood sugar) 11 years ago, fasting glycemic index of 7, 25, the doctor diagnosed as type 2 diabetes, and prescribed medication. Eat a week of medicine, one of my relatives working in the hospital know that I do not let me eat, I want to control my diet, and then I pay attention to diet, often eat buckwheat paste, keep exercising. By now the diet is still less sugar, less salt, less oil, almost the same amount of food as before, blood sugar has been ideal, the highest index did not exceed 6,5, according to many years of experience in lowering sugar: 1, the mind should be put in the first place; 2, pay attention to diet (less oil, less salt, less sugar, severe diabetes, to control the diet): 3, to strengthen the movement: 4, pay attention to rest (but can not be every day to lie in bed); 5, drug therapy.
Once you understand the mechanisms that cause diabetes, you will know whether diabetes can be reversed. Diabetes is caused by a relative or absolute deficiency in the body's ability to secrete insulin, which is why type 1 (absolute deficiency) and type 2 (relative deficiency) diabetes occur.
Theoretically, as technology advances and new medical treatments become available, diabetes can certainly be reversed; but unfortunately, as of now, no such method (e.g., genetic repair) has been found.
Although a very few pancreas transplants have been reported, there seems to be no successful reversal of diabetes in the press. So, once you have diabetes, there is no chance of reversing it.
So, for all of our diabetic friends, just keep your blood sugar or glycated hemoglobin within a certain range and thank goodness. This will delay complications and just not continue to get worse.
Human awareness is limited; human life is also limited. For diabetics, do not expect this disease to be cured; as long as you make an effort, take your medication, take your medication; take your insulin, take your insulin.
Control your diet, but take care to diversify your food; take care to exercise, but do it in moderation and. Do your best and listen to God. Everyone's genetics are different, so leave the rest to God!
There is a father and son from abroad, both of whom have type 1 diabetes and have been off insulin for life. It was this same father and son, hooked up to insulin pumps both successfully hiked across Antarctica, they confirmed themselves.
Don't think about it so much. Just have fun.
I have a friend who has been taking insulin for 10 years, and now he doesn't even take hypoglycemic pills, and his blood glucose is very normal every day. Since his mother's diabetic foot amputation three years ago, he has been running for more than 10 kilometers every morning, and he runs a half-marathon every Wednesday morning, and a full-marathon every Saturday morning, and he exudes positive energy all over his body! His spirit is superb, and he said that his blood sugar has risen again after not running for 3 days in a row, so I don't know if this is considered a reversal! I'm learning to run from him, but it's hard to stick to it, I'm on medication, my blood sugar isn't very stable, and I'm very tired every day 😫 I hope I can stick to running, and like him, I can take the medication off and my blood sugar is still normal. .....
Most of you have heard a statement about diabetes, that once you have it, you are stuck with it for life, and you believe that it is impossible to be cured, but this statement, nowadays, is increasingly being questioned by many people.
This WA government report clearly states that theInstead of just managing diabetes, this time we aim to, well, reverse it.
remission, not just management, should be the goal of type 2 diabetes interventions.
Diabetes could not be cured before because of the way it was treated, and we were counting on drugs to cure the disease, which is impossible.
It is important to return to the diet and to unring the bell.
WA government policy makers, in order to examine how to treat diabetes, traveled to the UK, visited a leading UK diabetes reversal facility, interviewed Dr. David Unwin, and came back with this report.
Dr. David Unwin's medical team has been using a low carb diet to reverse diabetes for many years with excellent results.

Many people know that sugar is bad, but, most don't understand whyRice, potatoes.Foods such as these are also converted to sugar, and they have a table that tells patients how much sugar each food represents.
(rice, noodles, potatoes, fries, corn, diabetics shouldn't eat)
By intervening in diabetes through a low-carbon diet, Dr. David Unwin saves the UK government huge amounts of money each year on healthcare costs.
Many patients have reversed and do not need medication, and after successful treatment, they know how to manage their diabetes through diet.
This report from the WA government also recognizes other programs such asGastric bypass surgery to control calories, can also treat diabetes.
The report states that the majority of Australians with diabetes, are still advised toTraditional Diabetes Treatment Options, this is similar to the diabetes treatment program in the United States, which is copied all over the world.
(Australian Healthy Eating Advice)
These dietary recommendations are still recommending thatPotatoes, rice, bread, even noodles.And these foods raise blood sugar quickly and are strictly forbidden by Dr. David Unwin's medical team in the UK.
This report claims thatWe should not advise diabetics to eat such a diet.
This is the first time I've read in a government department's report that theDirectly questioning authoritative dietary guidelines is something that probably only happens in countries like Australia.
This report also claims that a low-carb diet is a very valuable way of eating, and that it's not just the average type 2 diabetic who can eat low carb.Gestational diabetics, too, can be intervened with a low-carb diet.
The report repeatedly emphasizes that many people with type 2 diabetes benefit from a low-carbohydrate diet and that patients should have the right to choose their diets, and that for diabetics, theDiet should be used as as a first line of treatment, not drugs. Related → Prof. Shi Hanping: Nutrition is not an aid, it is a first-line treatment program
The report delivers one of Dr. Unwin's messages, "namely that a low-carb lifestyle is not about deprivation of eating something, but rather about rebalancing the body by choosing healthy foods in place of unhealthy ones to ensure stable blood sugar levels,Allow patients to take control of their blood sugar rather than relying on medications.”
Anyway, it's really exciting that the role of a low carb diet in diabetes has been fully recognized in this WA report.
When you have diabetes, it is possible to reverse it. As a senior diabetologist, I have seen many reversed diabetics in my clinic.
Most of these patients are first-onset diabetics who discover their blood sugar is elevated during a checkup or inadvertently, and come to the hospital to receive formal treatment and diabetes education from their doctors.
After being hospitalized for a period of time with stable blood sugar control, and being able to use the knowledge gained in the hospital to continue strict dietary control and exercise at home, with medications gradually reduced to discontinued, and still maintaining blood sugar in the normal range, this is a condition we call reversal of diabetes.
One of my longest keeping blood sugar normal patients has been on no medication for close to 10 years and has always kept his blood sugar at non-diabetic levels. The reason why he is called a patient is because he is still on a diet and exercise regimen. But isn't regular diet and exercise what everyone who seeks to be healthy should be doing?

The formal treatment I'm talking about is weight loss on top of a strict diet and exercise workout, and insulin therapy for patients with higher blood sugars.
Early and tight glycemic control can lead to long-term clinical benefits, not only in terms of delayed onset of complications, but also in terms of maintaining long-term blood glucose stability long afterward.
Complete remission: fasting blood glucose less than 5.6 mmo/L and glycosylated hemoglobin less than 5.7% for at least 1 year without medication.
Partial remission: fasting blood glucose 5.6-6.9 mmo/L and glycosylated hemoglobin less than 6.5% for at least 1 year without medication.
Durable remission: complete remission for more than 5 years is considered "cured".
The criteria for reversal of diabetes are told here, and those with well-controlled diabetes can compare them to see if they have reversed or are on their way to doing so.

We hope that our diabetic friends who see this standard will also have the confidence to keep their blood sugar at a near plateau and work towards reversing their diabetes.
I'm going to give you a little personal insight into diabetes.
First of all, let's talk about self-healing. Self-healing is a genetically acquired ability to maintain life and health by relying on a creature's own inner vitality to repair limb defects and get rid of diseases and sub-healthy states.
The human body can heal itself from cuts in the skin and repair broken bones, so it's clear that the human body has a strong ability to heal itself, but can it work for diabetes?
Whether a machine can run normally or not, it is necessary that the parts have no major problems to be able to do so, if the parts are completely broken, surely it can not run. If the human organ has been tossed to scrap, certainly can not be repaired, the human body is self-healing, not regeneration.
So diabetes self-healing depends on the situation, most diabetes can be self-healed, after all, the pancreatic organs can still be saved.
And here comes the point, so how is diabetes treated? It's all about utilizing our body's powerful ability to repair itself.
So why is it that so many diabetics can't be cured? It's because our ability to heal ourselves is compromised.
What is impairing our ability to heal ourselves?
First of all, drugs, especially antibiotics and other Western drugs. It is medicine three poisons, antibiotics, no matter how good you are bad, together to kill, this is to kill the enemy a thousand, self-loss of eight hundred tricks, diabetes can not be cured a big factor is the abuse of drugs. Step by step, our organs will be damaged, so that the organs have lost the ability to repair, and even organ death.
Another one is diet, the wrong diet keeps harming our organs. Like diabetes, people know not to eat too much sugar. They don't realize that the high sugar level in diabetics is a result of eating too much spicy food for a long time, which leads to pancreatic problems and high blood sugar.
Just not eating sugar at this time is not possible for diabetes to get better. The only way to heal yourself is to abstain from spices at the root, keep your body light, and not cause damage to your pancreas at the root.
Sugar-containing things, diabetics can actually eat a little bit of the human body sugar is also indispensable. Chinese medicine says too much, are harmful to the human body. Can't be more, can't be worse down, this raising is the correct way to raise the body.
There are also people's mood, regardless of the size of the disease, people should be relieved to deal with, worrying about the sky, fear, fear also has a great impact on the treatment of disease. Some people are afraid of excessive, suicide to seek relief, really sad, ridiculous.
So, thinly learned and untalented, I believe that to regulate diabetes, self-healing is important, and to enable self-healing to work, one must also abstain from oral sex and use medication appropriately.
Disease enters by the mouth, disease is born from the heart, believe it or not.
Diabetes so far, medical science has not found a cure, but do not have to be too pessimistic, because diabetes, we all know that diabetes is not terrible, terrible is a series of complications, if enough attention in life, according to the need to take medication, pike is to control the smooth, complications will come a little later, or even no longer come, in this case is not and the normal people undoubtedly it!
Just like hepatitis B carriers, there is no cure for hepatitis B at the moment. However, hepatitis B carriers are just like normal people, the only difference is the presence of hepatitis B virus in their bodies. However, if they pay close attention to their life, eat a light diet, stop smoking and drinking, and undergo regular check-ups, they will be able to live their whole life without any deterioration. On the other hand, those who do not have hepatitis B virus, but have bad lifestyle habits, often drink heavily, stay up late, etc., are very prone to get fatty liver. Fatty liver can damage liver function, and in serious cases, cirrhosis or even liver cancer can occur! So, would you say that hepatitis B reversal is still important?
For diabetic patients, life regulation is very important, especially diet, pay attention to limiting the intake of high-sugar and high-calorie food, learn the conversion of energy, regular monitoring of blood glucose changes, often exercise exercise, exercise can improve the body's immunity can also improve the sensitivity of insulin. In short, before the medical find a way to reverse, we have to do a good job of controlling sugar, so that we can have the opportunity to wait for that day, to realize the real reversal.
Reversal of type 2 diabetes is possible, but not for every patient. One large study found that 10% of people with type 2 diabetes can be reversed.
There are examples of improved reversal rates, and by eating a low-calorie diet or even a very low-calorie diet, around 700 calories per day, more people with type 2 diabetes can achieve normal blood glucose levels without the use of any hypoglycemic medication.
This is not a cure, but a remission, and can be called reversal of diabetes.
It was previously thought that to achieve reversal you had to be newly diagnosed with diabetes because their insulin insensitivity was not severe, but recent research has found that some people who have had diabetes for a long time are also able to achieve reversal.
Another condition is that the people who achieve the reversal tend to be very obese people who lose a lot of weight after sticking to a low-calorie diet and their blood sugar normalizes. For those who are normal weight or slightly obese, the reversal may be a little more difficult.
Reversal may be more difficult for Asian diabetics because the principles of type 2 diabetes in Asians may be different than in Caucasians.
In terms of the principle of reversal, it is possible to restore cellular sensitivity to insulin by tightly controlling the diet, so that the cells are able to take up glucose from the bloodstream in a timely manner, and the blood glucose is normalized.
A recent study found that it is not necessary to control the diet that tightly, as long as you lose more than 10 percent of your body weight within five years of your diabetes diagnosis, you can achieve a 30 percent reversal rate.
However, after the reversal you have to continue to eat a healthy diet, maybe not a very low calorie diet, but you have to be very strict in your diet or the high blood sugar will come back.
Regardless, recent epidemiologic studies have given people with type 2 diabetes a lot of hope that reversal is possible through improvements in diet and lifestyle habits, and the key is persistence.
Is it possible to reverse diabetes when you have it? Why?
thank you for your invitation
Type 1 diabetes mellitus patients, through exercise, can play a role in lowering blood glucose, many patients practice shows that it can improve the feeling of general discomfort caused by the disease, control of the diet can be achieved to achieve a balance of medicine and food, to prevent the occurrence of ketonuria.
In the early stage of type 2 diabetes, through the "Gu Gu therapy" and exercise, blood sugar can be reduced to the normal range within a week, without medicine. (The "Gu Gu Therapy" should be guided by a wise teacher).
The Chinese Dietary Guidelines for Diabetes Mellitus point out the principles of exercise and dietary control, and that diabetic patients can be cured without medication through exercise and dietary control.
The cause of type 2 diabetes is a metabolic disorder in the human body Fen secretion, Fen secretion of insulin can not work properly, through exercise and diet control, to improve the immune ability of the body, so as to achieve the purpose of curing diabetes.
