Friends and family going on and on and on about their sugar levels this and bloods that. Type 2 is MOSTLY caused by laziness and eating crap food which means it is reversible. Change your lifestyle and hey ho it could well reverse the process.I blame McDonalds and The United States of Trump for most of this obesity.
I have a good friend that changed his diet to overcome type 2. He wasn't particularly overweight, but he drank a lot of beer.Originally Posted by Dat Bluebird

Was that the friend who was on the ketosis type diet?
Medium-chain fatty acids could be the answer.

Exactly. He's on a very strict keto diet. I've been on a version of it myself. Have MCT in my coffee every morning.
Coconut oil helps control blood sugar and insulin levels, I'm not diabetic but I know from experience in the last few months it has helped me change the way I eat dramatically, I was all over the place before, I used to binge eat and eat crap all the time, I'm surprised that I never had Diabetes tbh.What are you using (Apps, readers etc) to help control your blood sugar levels and does your Health Care Professional use anything to help you control?
I work in Diabetes and what you have mentioned is the biggest challenge of all, you can have the tools, apps, medicine, white papers etc but its so hard to change habits of a lifetime. If the Pharma can crack that, they'll be laughing all the way to the bank!!
One thing that is overlooked in Diabetes and i don't want to scare you (or maybe i do) is just how dangerous and f***ing annoying it is. Those that don't have it seems to think and accept that it is easy to control with a medicine. People who live with this disease NEVER get a break, even in their sleep, none stop.
Good luck mate
I have mine in the morning but if you have it with carbs they are broken down into glucose more slowly so your sugar levels remain steady even after you have eaten, I feel in control now, I don't have any cravings, I'm not hungry.
I wont even go in to some of the terrible habits I had before
I'm not even on a strict keto diet, I just have the oil with my own made up diet and that's working for me (88lbs now), do you feel well on it? I feel great!

I feel pretty good. Perhaps a bit more energy during the day. Nothing crazy. I've lost about 15 lbs over 4 months. What I have noticed, is that carbs upset my rhythm now. I just don't feel right.Coconut oil helps control blood sugar and insulin levels, I'm not diabetic but I know from experience in the last few months it has helped me change the way I eat dramatically, I was all over the place before, I used to binge eat and eat crap all the time, I'm surprised that I never had Diabetes tbh.

Though I'm glad your diet works for you I looked into the claims you made about coconut oil when you last mentioned this and it appears to be the latest health fad.I would imagine that your success is down to watching what you eat more than the properties of coconut oil and therein lies the success of your diet methinks.I have been a type 1 diabetic since I was 26(now 60)and asked all the healthcare professionals I could corner about the benefits of coconut oil,none were positive but all said that theres no magic fix other than the amount of food you intake,counting your carbs and takeing some exercise.Coconut oil helps control blood sugar and insulin levels, I'm not diabetic but I know from experience in the last few months it has helped me change the way I eat dramatically, I was all over the place before, I used to binge eat and eat crap all the time, I'm surprised that I never had Diabetes tbh.

A fella I work with has it. He has changed hic diet and it had gone. his doctor said he couldn't beleive it and said "I wish I could take you out and let you talk to all the other people waitng in my sergury.
He now has 3 other guys in work doing what he did and the prognosis is good.
Sadly you are wrong Type 2 diabetes is mainly hereditary and is a killer but you crack on with your laughing at the fat people.
Think you're confusing type 1 with type 2 there tbh.
Not confusing anything tbh
Granted I've limited understanding, but Type 1 is rarer and believed to be down to genes, correct?
Generally Type 1 is genetic with an underlying autoimmune cause, whereas type 2 is generally die to obesity (but does have some genetic factors).
Providing you're not on insulin, diet and exercise can really reduce the extent of, and sometimes reverse, the problem.
Yeah, that was what I thought - type 1 means no insulin is produced, type 2 means not enough is being produced or something.
I have read stories of people cutting carbs and changing their diet and lifestyle and not needing medication anymore due to reversing the processFriends and family going on and on and on about their sugar levels this and bloods that. Type 2 is MOSTLY caused by laziness and eating crap food which means it is reversible. Change your lifestyle and hey ho it could well reverse the process.
Not that I was diabetic, but in 2016 I dropped from ~19.5 stone down to ~15.5 stone by cutting down on carbs/sugar and exercising -
went from 44" waist to 38".
Yes, happened to my brother. Changed his diet, lost about 6 stone in weight too.
You can't actually 'reverse' the insulin levels back to normal but diet and exercise can prolong the onset of needing to inject insulin to point that you never have any symptoms or the need for medication.
I have type 2.
It is under control by diet, but I really need to lose weight.
Recent studies have shown it CAN be reversed, you need to cut out all forms of sugar and do some exercise.
This forces the body to use up the stored sugar, and kick-starts the body into its "normal" functions.
Haven't done it myself yet, needs considerable willpower over a few months, and then more not to slip back into bad habits.
Good luck bobh, it's hard to change, often literally, a habit of a lifetime, but it can be done.
What are you using (Apps, readers etc) to help control your blood sugar levels and does your Health Care Professional use anything to help you control?
I work in Diabetes and what you have mentioned is the biggest challenge of all, you can have the tools, apps, medicine, white papers etc but its so hard to change habits of a lifetime. If the Pharma can crack that, they'll be laughing all the way to the bank!!
One thing that is overlooked in Diabetes and i don't want to scare you (or maybe i do) is just how dangerous and f***ing annoying it is.

Just eating more sensibly, porridge or muesli for breakfast, sensible lunch, normal evening meal.
Never add sugar to anything, cut beer to a minimum
I know how dangerous it can be.
My bro-in-law has it, but he has learning difficulties, and no matter how hard we try, he keeps eating junk food and drinking cola.
Losing the toes off one leg didn't change him.
He still has the same habits, even after losing his other leg below the knee!
Another thing is that I make almost all my own food now. No more $20 lunches at work. So that's a big plus.
What food do you make? My downfall is work where we don't have a microwave so tend to eat junk
