@mickj You present some interesting information that goes against almost everything that is advertised and that doctors tell diabetic patients. How did you do it? If you published your success, you could make millions instead of Big Pharma. Those of us who are Volunteer Mentors and even Connect members don't diagnose. We use our own experiences and try to give suggestions that worked for us. We also include difficulties--those things we've been through as diabetics. If you could give us the magic formula for reversing our diabetes, we would celebrate and sing your praises. I have been true to myself in eating the right foods, checking my blood twice a day, exercising, and doing whatever I can to keep my diabetes under control. I do not take any medicine and see my endocrinologist every six months. I have an appointment in a couple of weeks, and I would love to tell him my diabetes can be reversed because his favorite saying is "Once a diabetic, always a diabetic." I'd like to hear what he'd say if I told him my condition can be reversed. Do you have anything I can begin doing to reverse my diabetes 2 in addition to what I already do? I would love to hear from you. As a teacher for 42 years, I have researched and read from the time I was diagnosed, but I never saw anything definitive like this. It's miraculous! Thanks for telling about your success. I would love to experience it too.

@retiredteacher In June, my HgA1c was 6.3, fasting glucose of 134. I had a transplant at the end of June, and thanks to some meds, my pre-meal glucose went as high as 263 in July. In November, my HgA1c was 4.6 and fasting glucose of 85. And I still take meds that are not friendly to my liver and kidneys. So maybe, just maybe, it really is possible. This was done through diet and exercise. I eat no sugar or other refined carbs. None. I also exercise at least 5 hours/week with an average heart rate of 140-145, sleep 7-8 hours/day, and drink at least 4 liters of water/day. And the results are what the results are. I went from pre-diabetic/borderline diabetic to clearly not diabetic in 5 months.

For a doctor to tell a patient, "Once a diabetic, always a diabetic" is just flat wrong. Does a person have hypertension if they once were 185/120 but are now 115/75? Or from a more personal slant, is a person obese if they once had a BMI of 38 but now have a BMI of 21? If so, I sure look pretty slim for an obese person.

Watch Dr. Robert Lustig's "Sugar: The Bitter Truth" on YouTube. Let me know what you think.
