My father found out he was pre-diabetic around 2020/2021. He actually managed to reverse the effects and is no longer pre-diabetic. He lost a ton of weight. He went from around 90kg to 72kg. He did that by being super strict with his diet and exercising 6 to 7 days a week. His weight went up again to 80kg, but it has stayed there for over a year now. I'm super proud of his results. He's 64 at the moment.

My father was a type 1 diabetic. He had it since he was 16, got it from my grandfather. Since type 1 is usually genetic. I feel so bad for him. The amount of diabetic episodes he had, all the pain he went through, and to have his health crumble so fast the last few years especially. He just passed away this Halloween. First my mother died on Christmas when I was 3 in 2003, and now my father dies on Halloween. At this rate I'll have no Holidays left. I miss him so much man. It kills me every day when I see anything that reminds me of him, including this video and the topic of diabetes. Or when I hear a Don Henley or Led Zeppelin or Billy Joel song, or when I watch any movies from his time. I wish I could have him alive for just one more day, to hug him like he's never been hugged before in his 60 years, and tell him just how much I freaking love him. Man I'm crying typing this, I miss him so freaking much. And I regret so bad how I treated him the last month of his life. I miss you dad. I'm sorry for all the people that took advantage of you in your life. I'm sorry I didn't show you the love you deserved while you were alive. I'm such a jerk. I'm glad though that you no longer have to deal with this disease, or your gastroparesis, or your eye problems, or all the anxiety and all the abuse and pain you've felt all your life, I'm happy you can rest now father. You earned it man. It's my turn to carry the pain, and I'll do everything I can to show you I love you! Please rest dad, I miss you! He built me a house in the arms of a tree He taught me to drive and to fight and to dream When he looks in my eyes, I hope he can see that My dad's a hero to me!

I'm so sorry for your loss my friend, my step father whom I consider my father provided me and our family with a wonderful home and gave it his all to be a good dad, worked hard all his life, served in the military and took me in as though I were his own son, he was diagnosed with type 1 about 2 years ago and it's progressively gotten worse, the disease is shredding him to pieces and now he is a shell of a person, won't eat, bed bound and now in hospice care, we are all doing what we can to ease his transition into his final slumber and I hope it is soon, so his fight will be over but at the same time I don't want him to go, but just tonight I realized he is already gone, his mind is lost from lack of food, nutrients, loss of his own father, stress, depression, it tears me apart to see him this way and part of my mind is denying any of this is real as a means of coping and self preservation. Just today I told my friend, "I feel like someone will pull back the curtains and say it was all an act, none of it was real.." I'm going to lose my step dad soon and it's just so sad.. but I know many have come and gone throughout human history and the human mind has faced many tragedies and still endured, I am glad for those of us who are still here i.e. friends and family and the life that is still contained within them. My step dad is pretty young too only 57 but this disease is accelerating his demise. My heart goes out to anyone struggling with losing or have lost any loved ones, this life is hard, impossible at times..

I think of Type II Diabetes as a condition, instead of a disease. You can greatly improve it, or eliminate it through diet and exercise.

[@markw999]

Reversal of Type II is rare. You can manage the condition with a low-carb diet and exercise and maybe supplementation, but most of the time as soon as you eat something that spikes your insulin, the cellular resistance returns in minutes. Even if your blood glucose has been trending "normal" for months or years. Think management, not cure. It works. Do NOT take statins whatever you do.

I think there are a lot of people that disregard the potential mental and emotional dysfunctions that can cause eating disorders, which keeps people trapped in a vicious cycle that perpetuates Type-2. I was there. at 255 lbs, my blood sugar hit 864, and I ended up in the hospital. I was Type 2 for 6 or 7 years. I focused on low carb, OMAD, periods of intermittent fasting. I started to deal with my emotional eating [such a succinct way to sum up the last year of my life]. As of last April, my Type-2 was officially removed from my chart by my PCP. I'm down to 175ish. And I'm a lazy B@5t@RD. So if *I* can do it, *I KNOW* you can ^^. [to clarify, I started making these changes about two weeks short of a year ago.]

@@naraferalina2308 , I wish you the best in your endeavor to maintain your health!! The mental/emotional aspects of our lives have a HUGE impact on our overall health. Stress is a big factor, some may lose excessive weight others may gain excessive weight. But we also can't deny genetic elements which can lead to chemical imbalances causing some people to process nutrients differently. It's not to disregard personal choices but we can't deny that these elements can have a negative impact upon our choices. I know that my own health suffered horribly, I gained so much weight without even realizing how bad my health was in the 4 yrs I was taking care of my beloved Mother in the last years of her life.... I took her to all of he weekly treatments, all of the doctor apts/bad news here and there, in/out of the hospital and nursing facility for rehabilitative services and then when at home, the "accidents" to clean up in the bed, the floor, the constant moaning and cries of pain, being up with her in the middle of the night to just sit with her and rub her back and try to comfort her amidst her "spitting-up" episodes because 75% of her stomach was in her chest cavity.... The devices/equipment she had to use and 2 months before I lost her, I had to call an ambulance at 3am to come get me! She actually called me around 10 that morning to tell me she was being discharged from the hospital and I had to tell her I was in the same hospital in the emergency department.... Anyway, I've been trying to come back from the "grave" as I continue to deal with what's left behind. Much of it has been being on medication for my heart etc., I quit caffeine immediately. I drink just juice and water and I cut out a lot of the cooking of fatty foods, most food I now bake along with incorporating more fruit/veges. I haven't been to a FF restaurant in almost a year to which my waist line and wallet appreciate. Caloric intake and expenditure is key but we have to maintain protein levels as well so that your body doesn't begin to consume your muscle tissue! Idk how much weight I've lost but I know it's a lot because I not only can see the difference but my clothes fit better etc. My initial bloodwork everything was in the RED, a year later, now all of my stats are in GREEN. My cholesterol was over 200, now it's around 130. The other important factor IS getting some aerobic/anaerobic exercise too! Just walking 20-30min per day helps with those who can't do much to start. For others some walking for a warm-up and then doing some weight lifting is an even better benefit.

It’s just sad for me that conditions like this exist and people suffer from it, I feel really bad for anyone who goes through this. What makes us have diabetes more is that we don’t have a lot of healthy food around the world today.

[@rangerjesse1659]

I disagree. Its just that sugary foods are so normalized today and people just eat these foods without thinking about the sugar content or even caring about how much sugar and carbs they are eating. At Walmart for example there are loads of sugary foods all over the place and many are close the cash registers making it easy to grab them. When at the same Walmart you can get a 5 pound frozen chicken breast for like 15 dollars and cook it at home and eat healthier. Eating healthy does not have to be expensive, it just takes a little more work and planning because the society makes the sugary foods easier to access and sugar is also addictive. Try going completely sugar free for a couple of weeks and you will feel cravings for sugar when you don't need it. Our ancestors survived and evolved just fine without any refined sugar in their diet.

[@got_logic1320]

These blanket statements trying to make Sugar/carbs/processed foods the root of all evil is absolutely false, and only proves that your primary source of info on this subject are from other misinformed youtubers/ticktokers. If you've ever read actual scientific and medical literature, and not cherry pick data, you will find that development of Type 2 Diabetes is a lot more complex and depends on various other factors. While I can't explain the entire set of literature in just one comment, I'll make the following points: While genetics can also be a factor, Obesity is actually the primary factor in developing Type 2 Diabetes. High levels of Free Fatty Acids highly contribute to insulin resistance. Other factors that increase insulin resistance is lack of physical activity, because the more active you are, the more insulin sensitive you become. It just happens that those who tend to be on the obese side of the spectrum are likely getting that way because they're over-eating calorically dense foods, which Includes (but are not exclusive to) excess of processed foods which also tend to be high in sugars and FATS (people seem to forget the high amounts of fats in those types of foods, but blame everything on carbs). Additionally, these individuals tend to be less active. Add all that together for the long term and you get higher risk of Type2. Inversely, as they lose weight and increase activity, you'll find that many can reverse Type2. It just happens that for many, one of the easier ways to lower caloric intake is to cut down on the carbs/sugars/processed foods. Thus, there is a misconception that those types of foods causes type2, and by cutting them out, it can reverse it. It's basically misunderstanding the association, and many of these youtube "doctors" are regurgitating bad info. There's more to this, but that's the basics. And here's some additional logic for you. There are MANY Athletes, and other active individuals, that consume a high amount of carbs/sugars to fuel their activity. You'll find that the statistics for them to develope Type2 are a tiny fraction compared to those on the opposite side of the spectrum. And in those cases, where active, thin, individuals developed Type2, it has more to do with genetics, and other factors that require professional medical diagnosis. My resource for information is from Bio-Chemistry, physiology (learning how the body actually works) and reading scientific literature from unbiased and reputable sources (National Institute of Health being one of them). Not relying on youtubers.

Diabetes is the root of all diseases. It needs control for the early ages. It is also a chronic disease which slows everything after a certain of years. It mainly happens when there is excess glucose in blood or urine. Our body cannot carry limited amount of glucose thus, it spreads all over. If we maintain a regular balanced and healthy diet chart hope we will be overcome through this situation. We inject insulin for decreasing glucose in our body. Pancreas produces 2 hormones: insulin and glucagon. Glucagon helps to increase glucose level. So, if both of these hormone is working properly everything is fine. If not, either problem in insulin or in pancreas

I was a pre-diabetic 3 years ago. I started off with taking medicines but it didnt work. I have made food changes in my lifestyle and my sugar has been normal since last 2 years. I drink at least 1 mug of black coffee a day, replaced half of my wheat flour intake with barley flour, and the most important thing that healped is the powder of the leaves of moringa tree. Most people in west may not agree with me, but trust me if you all know how good moringa leave`s powder is for general health you would pay 100s to get them. Seacrh the internet and you will find its health benefits, or ask me in the comments.

Diabetes is due to Chronic Carbohydrate Overdose Syndrome. Meaning that people are consuming too many carbs for years and years.

[@got_logic1320]

These blanket statements trying to make Sugar/carbs/processed foods the root of all evil is absolutely false, and only proves that your primary source of info on this subject are from other misinformed youtubers/ticktokers. If you've ever read actual scientific and medical literature, and not cherry pick data, you will find that development of Type 2 Diabetes is a lot more complex and depends on various other factors. While I can't explain the entire set of literature in just one comment, I'll make the following points: While genetics can also be a factor, Obesity is actually the primary factor in developing Type 2 Diabetes. High levels of Free Fatty Acids highly contribute to insulin resistance. Other factors that increase insulin resistance is lack of physical activity, because the more active you are, the more insulin sensitive you become. It just happens that those who tend to be on the obese side of the spectrum are likely getting that way because they're over-eating calorically dense foods, which Includes (but are not exclusive to) excess of processed foods which also tend to be high in sugars and FATS (people seem to forget the high amounts of fats in those types of foods, but blame everything on carbs). Additionally, these individuals tend to be less active. Add all that together for the long term and you get higher risk of Type2. Inversely, as they lose weight and increase activity, you'll find that many can reverse Type2. It just happens that for many, one of the easier ways to lower caloric intake is to cut down on the carbs/sugars/processed foods. Thus, there is a misconception that those types of foods causes type2, and by cutting them out, it can reverse it. It's basically misunderstanding the association, and many of these youtube "doctors" are regurgitating bad info. They key to reversing Type 2 is to first, lower caloric intake, decrease the fat in your body, and be more active. You can still achieve that without the need to cut out carbs... although once you're type2, monitoring glucose levels will be more important so only then would you be more wary of your carb intake. Before that, no, carbs is not the main culprit. There's more to this, but that's the basics. And here's some additional logic for you. There are MANY Athletes, and other active individuals, that consume a high amount of carbs/sugars to fuel their activity. You'll find that the statistics for them to develope Type2 are a tiny fraction compared to those on the opposite side of the spectrum. And in those cases, where active, thin, individuals developed Type2, it has more to do with genetics, and other factors that require professional medical diagnosis. My resource for information is from Bio-Chemistry, physiology (learning how the body actually works) and reading scientific literature from unbiased and reputable sources (National Institute of Health being one of them). Not relying on youtubers.

You would need to explain how the Kempner Rice Diet of white rice, sugar, and fruit juice reverses T2 diabetes if your assertion is true. Unhealthy fats that accumulate in muscle cells that interfere with insulin receptor bindings has more explanatory power. Huge excess of refined carbs can be converted to fat via de novo lipogenesis, but the body much prefers to store excess calories of fat you eat instead of this conversion.

They aren't coming back. And even if they did, my immune system would destroy them just like it did 40 years ago.

I am on a strict plant based diet. My A1C is 5.3 but my blood glucose is very high. How can that be? Also, my vision loss is still getting worse.

[@hazelnutcase357]

Are you diabetic on medication other than insulin? Vegetables like potato, grains like wheat, send my glucose levels soaring but medication gets it back down too low at times. I'm stuck with non starchy vegetables. I limit 1-2 serves fruit a day. I eat lots of nuts and have to use meat to balance my bowel movements as eating liquid absorbing starches spikes blood glucose. A1C is an average. Get yourself a continuous glucose monitor. See what your "healthy" plant based diet is doing and use the readings as a guide, not your doctor/nutritionist/dietician. I'm interested in eating more plant but trial and error that doesn't work will destroy the body.

[@hazelnutcase357]

@@monicaperez2843 If your glucose readings are high, then you are not "controlling" with diet. You are being controlled with what you can eat and it's not working. Are you normal weight for your height? Do you have issues with your kidneys as the majority of type 2 diabetes medications are contraindicated. If what you are doing currently is causing eye and other issues discuss insulin with your doctor. I'm on insulin but try to keep the dose smaller by avoiding carbohydrates and no sugar. This means potatoes, beans and legumes etc are off the menu unless I up my dose (which is not recommended - the professionals like to control your insulin). Insulin does increase the possibility of weight gain. Going on insulin made me feel better which is what counts in life. It's used as a last resort, but I pestered my doctor until I got the stuff that made me feel better. I never suggested what, but went through the plethora of available drugs (this was before injectables were apparently available). Just don't give in to your professionals as insulin is usually a last resort when nothing else works and you are too sick for glucose reducing medications. But you need to show proof of your continuous readings otherwise your A1C contraindicates as your reading is in the safe range. Get a continuous glucose monitor, they are not cheap but will tell the story and support you in getting better health care and a more fun/appropriate diet aligned with your plant based approach.

I am a 67 year old power lifter I don't have diabetics and I also don't have high cholesterol or high blood pressure, I also have healthy liver and kidneys and heart. I don't eat sugar, I use stevia and I only eat fresh healthy food rich in collagen. Sugar attaches to proteins in the bloodstream and produces harmful free radicals that can be particularly damaging to collagen, and premature aging of the skin. As an athlete I don't drink protein that's full of sugar and I don't use steroids. My opinion Collagen is important for your skin and strong and healthy bones that is not steroid. In the Netherlands I see people eating a lot of sugar and also children I believe too much sugar can lead to diabetes.
