Diet woes with Type 2 Diabetes. Too many conflicting diets.

Hi Seapen
I am really glad this diet is working for you and your sugars are under control.
But, nothing can reverse diabetes. The only instance I have seen it in type 1 is if you have late onset diabetes caused by too much weight gain and an unhealthy diet, if one loses weight and eat a proper diet, I have seen the type 1 diabetes reverse but type 2 cannot be reversed only controlled with proper diet and exercise which may help with lowering a insulin dose. Although the books are written by people with many professional degrees. Dr. Barnard is a doctor but what kind of doctor? The other two do not qualify as doctors. I am sure they have provided you with good sound information but, Type 2 diabetes cannot be reversed but controlled and Type 1 only in certain conditions. You may want to research other information on diabetes. I hope this helps and I respect you for doing the diet which has helped control your blood sugars. Bravo!
At our hospital the dietitian gives our diabetic clients a regular diet with a smaller portion of food, low carbs deserts, but a small treat once in awhile.
No sugar free pop allowed or juices saturated with different types of sugars which can easily fool you.
Keep up the good work!

Somde - So sorry I have my types of diabetes mixed up. Please read darby01 comments Type I should read Type II and Type II should read Type I. Brain flip!
Concentrate on the good things that you can replace a high carbs and high fats with fruits vegetables that you like watermelon avocados blueberries there's all kinds of things you can do with them to make them taste good low fat cottage cheese water that drink a lot of water you'll get to where you like it especially in the summer time and the deep fried foods and the all the fast foods you get to the point where you don't even want them anymore some things you'll still pray and because of the diabetes my wife had type 2 diabetes and she was on all kinds of diabetic medicine hers went away somehow she she got on strict diet that it went away the doctors won't even give her test strips anymore so I don't know if she hers is for everyone she is way under six I think a 5.7 now so I don't know when people say that it can't be reversed or stopped I don't believe that because of she eats ice cream shoots anything she wants anymore and she doesn't have diabetes Associated any problems from it is it like I said the doctors won't even give her test strips anymore
