Reversing Type 2 Diabetes | Jason Fung

[@soulabaebe]

In February of 2021 I was told that I was fully diabetic (type 2) when my morning test came in at 8.1. My doctor wanted to put me on meds and I refused, I asked him to give me 6 months to reverse it, reluctantly he gave me 4 months. I went on keto and intermitten fasting and in 4 months my a1c test came in at 4.9. He was shocked! He told me I am diabetic for life and that diabetes cannot be reversed and asked me to retest in 3 months which again came in at 4.9. One year later my diet is still low carb and I am still at A1c 4.9. I will keep this up for as long as I can...

4 months ago I started a strict no sugar diet. No artificial sweeteners, no processed food,no fruit. I only ate meat and vegetables eggs fish and cheese. I ate 2 meals a day with a 17 / 7 IF window.. I have stage 3 kidney disease with a egfr of 51and 1.5 creatinine. My blood tests came back yesterday and showed a creatine level of 1.1 and egfr of 67 effectively reversing my kidney disease. My a1c went from 6 to 5.1. I also lost 30 lbs along the way. I still have a way to go and will update in another 4 months

Dr. Fung’s presentations have been a key in my journey of reversing diabetes. Three years ago the test strip came in at 220 and a1c was over 11. After a month of intermittent fasting and 2-3 months of diet I lost over 35lbs, blood sugar was 90 and a1c came down to 6. I just cut out sugar and carbs, didn’t even excercise. So yes it definetely works.

[@Victoria-cq8tz]

@@FilipeJorgeSilva I am not sure what you mean by "it doesn't work", but I suppose you have heard about "miraculous" intermittent fasting, and you just decided one day to give it a go. After years and years of consuming high carbs diet, of course you will get crazy hungry after 24hrs and won't be able to continue. You have to understand there is a preparation process, which starts by reducing carbs for a certain period of time, until your body switches from glucose burning to fat burning mode, until you notice you spontaneously stop craving food and go naturally longer and longer periods of time without food as your appetite decrease. This period, called adaptation, usually last between 4-6 weeks or longer. Only after the adaptation phase your body is ready for prolonged fast. As long as you continue with low carb regime, you can repeat fast as often as you wish without any preparation, or keep going with daily intermittent fasting (like 18:6 i.e.) There are many articles and videos about IF and adaptation process. Study it before you declare defeat! Best of luck!

Last June I was 300 pounds, diabetic type 2 on insulin, injecting 350 units per day. Heading directly into a total disaster. I'm diabetic since 25 years, 10 years on insulin. I tried diets, exercises, calorie counting. Nothing worked. About 10 years ago, I was told by my doctor that losing enough weight could maybe get me rid of diabetes. I was gaining weight year after year during this pandemic. So I decided to figure out a diet for my condition. I included low carbohydrate diet, high protein, fasting and after a while added exercises. In 6 months, I lost 100 pounds, I'm totally off insulin since the last 10 days. For my doctor and nurse that follow me, it's a miracle. 1 month ago I found this video. The theories of Dr Jason Fung goes exactly in the same way I figured. That the problem was insulin and not diabetes. High blood sugar is the symptom. Dr Fung, you are blessed. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, your dedication to diabetics and instigating hope to those who suffer from this terrible disease.

After watching your video on KZbin I started fasting because you reminded me of what I used to do about 40 years back for religious purpose, well in those months I lost 31 kg.and my HBA1C is down to 6.5 and walking with out a stick . It's like being born again with lots of energy at my disposal and a very clear and focused mind,never felt like this after my teen years.I am 70 years old now, once again thank you again for reminding LOL

[@Keithzzzzt]

I cured my type 2 diabetes in a month from eating ketovore . I experienced heavy thirst, peeing and blurry vision in Jan of 2023 . I Knew the signs of diabetes and checked my blood sugers. They were 9.5 and didn't go down. I had full blown type 2 diabetes .I didn't bother going to Dr. I immediately stopped eating., then I did an almost carnivore diet....fasted,...exercised and was non diabetic in one month. My Cgm moniter showed that I had achieved insulin sensitivity as shown by periodic carbs intakes. A high spike of blood glucose and then a normal flat line. Type 2 diabetes is the bodies response to carbohydrate toxicity. The solution is simple....no carbs. I credit Dr Fungs book, the Obesity code, along with all the Low Carb Drs for my success.

[@CryptoLTP5]

Ya but if you ever go back to carbs, you’ll realize that your metabolism is shot. A reason why you’d have to go back are huge cortisol spikes.

[@Keithzzzzt]

@@CryptoLTP5 I cured my type 2 diabetes and you are basically saying.." yeah but?" But what? Why would I ever go back to eating any significant carbs? They made me diabetic. And your metabolism can be fixed. The body heals and repairs itself . In regards to metabolism its called mitophagy and mitosis. 4 months on a ketogenic diet can increase new mitochondria by 400%. My metabolism is not wrecked anymore. Its been rebooted. I personally have no problems with cortisol but if I did I would simply add in some low glycemic veggies...like a bit of carrot in my evening meal. This seems to circumvent cortisol spikes in the evening for those genetically prone to high levels but still keeps the carbs low enough to keep the body in fat burning mode. On the rare occassion that I do eat carbs my body now handles them quite easily. The CGM monitor does not lie.

[@CryptoLTP5]

@@Keithzzzzt I’ve been on lion diet for two years and I developed metabolic issues and kidney/liver issues. Some people need an insulin spike - it’s healthy if it comes back down fairly quickly. But I agree mostly with what you said for sure.

Fasting and weight loss helps some not all. This business pushed on KZbin that diabetes is just caused by fat and fasting and weight loss fixes it is not true. There are thin people like me low body fat was 15% when I started insulin. Many lose insulin production with age no fasting or low carb diet will bring it back. Meds can help increase insulin sensitivity, reduce sugar absorbtion, slow stomach emptying, reduce appetite etc. They have a place in diabetic treatment. I'm on Basal insulin and mealtime.

In 2003 I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. With a strong family history of it (my dad lost both legs due to diabetes), I just accepted that I was dealt a crummy hand and took glipizide and metformin as prescribed. I tried to control it with the meds and diet, but I'd take one step forward and 3 steps back. My A1c continued to inch up little by little. In 2022 I went for my check up and my A1c was 10.1, the highest it's ever been. I had started experiencing neuropathy in both feet months prior and remembering my dad and his amputations, I decided to get serious. I tossed all sugar, stopped eating carbs completely, would drink a diabetic meal replacement shake in the morning, then have my meal of proteins and vegetables mid-day. Another meal replacement shake in the evening. Six months later then I went back for my next checkup, I had lost 97 pounds and my A1c was 5.4! I've had a few setbacks since then (illness/injury), and I feel the weight I put back on, but I won't give up.

Thank you for this clear explanation. My glucose level has dropped to 4.4 no more meds and lost 24 pounds in weight approx 1 lb a week I am 78! It has taken me this long to understand the benefits of intermittent fasting combined with low carb diet. The difference is a psychological one changing from thinking this a desperate short term diet and thinking I am a victim unable to eat like other people to realising this way of eating is “normal”. I am now eating as God intended. Everything we need is present in creation and the body is miraculously designed to adapt to changing circumstances. This is distorted by eating processed high carb foods causing numerous illnesses. Following Jason’s explanation is brilliant. It works!

So very own carb with some intermittent fasting as recommended by Dr Fung along with regular exercise was the answer for me. Besides effortless weight control and normalized Blood Glucose, I noticed a huge change in mood and energy levels. I once suffered from frequent episodes of depression and mood swings. No more.

Fast forward to Aug 2022 and at 64 (female), I'm 160lbs with an A1c of 5.2. I'm off all meds. And I believe I have hyperinsulinemia. My latest blood tests show my fasting glucose at 121 yet an A1c of 5.2. It's frustrating, yet I'll never go back. 👍

How bloody embarrassing to the medical establishment is it that a nephrologist is making a difference to our understanding of T2 diabetes and that a computer scientist is making a difference in our understanding of lipidology? I'm particularly upset that low carbohydrate diets have been known to be an effective treatment for excess body fat for over a hundred years and yet it is nearly impossible to find a general doctor that will suggest them to their overweight patients even while we are in the midst of an obesity pandemic.

I do not know what the latest scientific literature says, but I know that by the A1C diagnostic criterion, after losing 80 pounds, I am no longer considered diabetic after many years of insulin shots. I used intermittent fasting and it is now part of my lifestyle. Though I am not a "patient" of Dr. Fong (I live in Italy), but following the advice I got here, my blood studies are normal. My endocrinologist say she has never seen anything like it in 20 years of practice. I actually had to argue with her to take me off insulin using the current information I got here from Dr. Fung and, to her credit, she listened and checked the literature herself. At my examinations 3 and 6 months post discontinuation of insulin, my A1C went down in the blood studies. I cannot thank Dr. Fong enough!

The patient needs to lose weight BEFORE medicine can be discontinued, otherwise you risk causing damage, and it would be irresponsible.

I had a 11.8 a1c in December and was put on insulin. 2 months later, and all 3 of my doctors are so happy and telling me that it’s great that it’s down to 7 now. When I said that taking insulin doesn’t actually help with diabetes all cause mortality, I got blank looks or a slow nod like they didn’t want to upset the crazy person. Why do so many good doctors STILL push insulin as being the only “cure”? They don’t care about anything other than blood glucose.

[@olwill1]

They are tickled with a1c = 7 because they cannot get it any lower than that without killing the patient, not because it's a healthy number. And who knows? Perhaps diabetic complications will come slower at 7 than at 11.8. Besides, if we all went keto, how would he pay for the Maserati?

They both assured me that the science was spot on and even decided to make some changes themselves in their own lifestyle. I began to implement the low carb diet and the intermittent fasting. 10 months later my A1C is 6.2 and I have dropped 40 lbs. My doctor is thrilled.

Here’s one thing that never made sense to me. If the insulin receptors on cells are clogged or somehow not functioning how in the hell is giving more insulin going to help? I mean how do people who are much smarter than me come to that conclusion? I learned a lot from this presentation. My most important take away was when he talked about the treatment model being used is based on an old paradigm and not on the treatment of “chronic” diseases. I have never taken a prescription drug in my adulthood because I saw what happened with my Dad. The drugs he was on were never given like here take this for 30 days and you’ll be all better but instead here take this everyday for the rest of your life. I just thought well obviously that’s not fixing anything. Thank you Dr. Fung.

STOP taking statin drugs for a start. I was on them for 10 years before being diagnosed with T2D. I finally stopped against my doctor's advice (10 years ago and NO heart problems before or since). My T2D has subsided and I can pretty much eat normally. I was never a carbaholic or pop-drinker so my diet was healthy anyway. But, the statins caused me to gain 100 pounds, which I'm slowly getting rid of. It's much more difficult to lose weight with those drugs and their after effects. I didn't have that much trouble before. I was 5'10" and 150 lbs before I started the statins with no history of obesity my whole life. But, it is very difficult to lose weight now after being on those damned drugs.

And, considering the last two years, were the lab tests even reliable back when? I doubt it. The statin drugs have been, in my opinion, a maneuver by the globalist-owned drug companies to get people taking their expensive pills which make you insulin-resistant, then obese, then diabetic, then drug dependent. And, the medical schools have been taking massive contributions from the drug companies for decades. Do you think that didn't come without strings? I don't. The medical students have been taught ONLY what the drug companies, owned by the globalists, wanted them to learn.

Neither would or did. I was looking for someone who was or would familiarize themselves with your information so they could assist me with managing my insulin as I embarked on my “journey.” No luck! So I made a long drive to the Houston area (1100 miles) and saw Dr. Nadir Ali , MD, cardiologist.
