Reversed my Type 2 Diabetes.

Well done Tanith - shows what a difference we can make to our own health with determination and hard work. May I ask how much weight did you lose?

My lovely best friend was insulin dependent. She started really taking care of herself and lost shed loads of weight. She was put onto oral meds. She continued to eat well and lost even more to the extent that she doesn't need tablets any more. Her blood pressure came down and doesn't need tablets for that either. Much of our ill health really comes down to our lifestyle choices. We go for out pills to treat our symptoms, rather than address the causes of our ailments. I have high blood pressure and I know tablets will bring it down. However, what the good doctors should be saying is lose that excess weight you're carrying so that is what I'm doing. I do realise that not everyone falls into this category;this is aimed at those who can do something about it. It is hard but a huge well done to those that have done it.

Can any of you remember the F Plan diet all full of high fibre. I really enjoyed it but I suspect it would not pass the carbs test now. ?

Well done - it takes self-control and determination - respect!

Congratulations to you all.

That's great news tannish. I reduced carbs a couple of years ago and went from pre diabetic to normal range in about 3 months. I'm not overweight and I exercise regularly but I do have various auto immune conditions which my GP said were the cause of my higher sugar ratings. Not fair! I suspect when I'm tested again, I'll be up but you are so right, it's worth reducing carbs and cutting out additional sugar (it's just so much easier to carry on eating rather more than we need)

Brilliant ! It is difficult though. Carbs definitely the thing to reduce. Some one said type2 should be called carbohydrate absorption disease.

Well done ladies - my friend managed to do that - I am trying to lose weight in the hope it will help my Blood Pressure.
We have just spent about a month in the UK visiting various family members. Usually with all the going out and eating fancy meals I put on acouple of Kilos but this time I managed to lose one!! I am so pleased!!!

Huge congratulations ?
You need to be feeling very proud of yourself right now.
You can remain in charge with good food and a bit of exercise too. Well done xx

Well done ? not surprised your delighted.
I wish I could shift some weight but despite having done the same as you, I cannot.
Although I don't think I could reverse my T2. I've been on meds. for 6 yrs.

Well done tanith I have done the same. Not easy is it? But so worthwhile ??
