My diabetes (type 2) reversal story

 

In 2006, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. In a way I knew I was heading towards getting it as both my parents are diabetic and my eating habits was bad. I was overweight by at least 10 kilos and I drank a lot of sprite. Hardly much water.

 

When I was initially diagnosed, I was asked to control with diet, which unfortunately for me did not work out and before long I had to take oral medications. Towards to the end I was on 5 oral tables ( 500mg Metformin thrice a day and Gliclazide 80mg twice a day).

However this was not keeping my blood sugar levels down and my doctor said I might end up having to take insulin, as diabetes is a progressive disease.

This I did not want to hear. My HBA1c peaked at 9.7% and it was not looking good for me. So I had to do something about it. 

I studied really hard to come up with a plan that I could stick too. There is a lot of information out on the net, some good and some not too good, read a lot of books and finally came up with a working protocol that I started to implement. 

I started off by avoiding what I call the POWS group of foods:

Processed, Oily, Whites (white bread, white rice) and Sugars (including artificial sweeteners). 

I eat a lot more greens, fruits and whole meal brown bread, rice etc. Oh drink a lot more water now and no more fizzy drinks!

What I noticed was my blood glucose readings started to improve but whenever I went back to eating the "wrong" foods again, it would rise. Understandable !

 

However my plan was not to control my diabetes but to REVERSE it. I wanted a natural treatment plan for my diabetes so that I will be able to come off ALL my medications and eventually control just with healthy eating and exercise.

I also wanted the option to eat sweet things like ice cream, biscuits etc whenever I wanted to without having to undo all the work I had done and not take any tablets EVER again.

 

This I managed to do within 6 months by using a special homeopathic protocol, dietary change and exercise.

Today I eat Ice Cream, Biscuits, Bananas etc without having to worry about my diabetes.

 

I have been off all my medications since January 2010 and my HBA1c is down to 6.2% done Sept 2011,(making me a borderline diabetic).

I cannot say how happy I am today because of it. Oh I lost my excess weight too, my cholesterol dropped and I am so much more energetic!

 

I wanted to share this story with other type 2 diabetics to give you hope! You too can have better blood glucose control. Type 2 diabetes does NOT have to be progressive. It is in your hands to do something about it.
