THE STORY OF SUGAR (NAME CHANGED TO PROTECT IDENTITY), A 59 YEAR OLD DIABETIC PATIENT
I was 10st 7lbs, 5ft 7in, and had never been obese. I avoided excessive alcohol consumption and regularly played cricket and ran. Nevertheless, I learned that I had type 2 diabetes following a routine check up. In 10 years, I could be reliant on insulin, it could harm my eyes, feet, hearing, and heart, and I might die more quickly (36% more likely). When we have type 1 diabetes, our bodies don't make any insulin, which controls our blood sugar levels. The body's organs can suffer damage from very high glucose levels. However, people with type 2 diabetes do make some insulin, just not enough to maintain normal blood glucose levels. My doctor told me I could manage my disease with diet alone because I was healthy and not overweight (obesity is a key risk factor for type 2 diabetes, but many non-obese people, especially members of south Asian groups, are also prone to it). I went online in search of information and came on a story about a research trial at Newcastle University. According to the study, type 2 diabetes might be cured by eating 800 calories a day for eight weeks. I had already lost a stone thanks to my doctor's food recommendations and exercises. However, my glucose levels were still higher than 6mmol/L (millimols per litre), which is the maximum threshold for a healthy individual without diabetes. On day 11, my glucose level was 4.1, the lowest it had ever been, and I weighed just 8st 13lb. The following day, as a treat for myself, I had my first whole evening meal of rice and fish along with a chocolate shake. On September 24 of last year, it was confirmed after a two-month wait. My surgeon performed a fasting glucose test, and the results revealed that "the diabetes has resolved itself." I had a blood glucose level of 5.1mmol/L, which is significantly less than the 6 threshold for diabetes. Are you looking to reverse Type 2 Diabetes naturally? Then look no further!
