My journey with Type 2 diabetes began in 2007 where I was feeling miserable.

I went to the doctor who took a blood test and discovered that my blood sugar levels were much too high, and I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.

The diabetes doctors told me that since I have Type 2 diabetes my blood sugar would never be able to come down to the normal level. I was basically being told between the lines that it wasn’t curable.

Choice Between Medication And Diet

They gave me a choice between taking pills or keeping my blood glucose levels low through diet.

I choose the latter option, avoiding carbs like potatoes, white rice, pasta, and the like, and instead eating more vegetables and meat as they wouldn’t raise my blood sugar so high.

By 2012 I was no longer able to control my blood sugar anymore. They rose up to 180 mg/dl which was much too high.

I went to my doctor who gave me metformin, but after taking only one pill that made me feel really miserable I was desperate for an alternative solution to my high blood sugar so I began surfing the Internet looking for ways to do something for my high blood sugar.

Looking To Do Something For My High Blood Sugar

First I came across an ad about a spice that would be beneficial in curing diabetes. The spice was cinnamon, and behind the ad was a program for how to reverse diabetes. I Immediately tried some cinnamon on a teaspoon with some water, and it did seem that my blood glucose went down a bit. I then bought the program and started using it. The program was basically a low carb diet, and exercise program, where you eat very little carbs the first month (20 grams per day to be exact), then add more carbs afterwards. By only eating 20 grams of carbs for a whole month, my body began to freeze. I was freezing cold because I had too little energy in my body to keep me warm. And so I stopped it. It didn’t work for me.

I found two more cures on the internet that were actually quite good. One of them focused on the insulin – to eat for low blood sugar, and the other cure basically was also about healthy eating but with the focus on cleansing the liver. It basically taught me that when we have insulin resistance as in type 2 diabetes we also have a non-alcoholic fatty liver, which is why liver cleansings are essential to optimize the liver and to have a better blood sugar level.

When I began to do the liver cleansings my blood sugar came down to the normal level after a few weeks. It took about 14 days for me to see results with my liver cleansings.

At this point I thought I was fully cured. And basically I just kept on a natural healthy diet, of course being aware of not consuming to many fast carbohydrates like bread and the like. My blood glucose levels stayed at the normal range 100 mg/dl for over a month, but eventually they started to rise again.

Looking back at it I can see that it was because I began to eat just normal regular food, and in this there are foods that diabetics should not eat. Also, I stopped doing the liver cleansing after I finished the second cure plan.

At this point simply because I was interested in the liver and the role it plays in regulating blood sugar I began to research it. Here I found that the liver regulates blood sugar a 100 x more than the pancreas does. And that maintaining a healthy liver is very important in having a good blood sugar level.

I also became increasingly aware of food cravings and how to overcome them which is also very important because these are what fuels insulin resistance.

Conclusion

I have discovered that type 2 diabetes is a fully reversible condition. Simply because it’s a lifestyle disease – I managed to lower my blood sugar through healhty living, liver cleansings, and regular exercise.

I would ad to this though that a balanced diet which is healthy for people without type 2 diabetes is not healthy for people with diabetes and the solution to this is to eat a plant-centric diet with 80% natural plantbased wholefoods rich in fiber and only 20% other foods.
