Hello ROJH,

I agree with you about cutting out a bunch of carbs, the main group of carbs to lower is sugar, sugar additives, sugar sweeteners and of course processed foods. I would also eliminate vegetable oils and hydrogenated oils. Diet and nutrition is the main factor contributing to insulin resistance, obesity, hypertension, high triglycerides, low HDL and types 2 diabetes.

Stay healthy and thanks for dropping by.

I have recently tried to cut out a bunch of carbs. It’s amazing how many thing have so much sugar in them! I am also trying to lower down my blood sugar. As I am not getting any younger, and my family has a history of diabetes. I learned a lot with your blog.

Thanks a lot!!

Hello Rob,

You are definitely on the right track. Change your diet to Low Carb High Fat and Intermittent Fasting. Once you can get your A1c down to below 6 %. You should be well on your way to good health. You will want to check your blood glucose at least once a day. Go out and purchase a blood glucose meter with many strips. I would start by fasting overnight, this means no snacks. Tea and coffee OK. No sugar, sugar additives or honey in your tea or coffee. Read my blog on "Can Too much Sugar cause Diabetes". In the morning check your blood glucose. Build the fasting up so that you will be fasting 2 times a week for up to 16 hours. After a fast go easy on the food and do not over eat. You will notice your weight come down significantly, and you will be healthier. Then get your A1c checked again with your doctor. I wish you good luck.

Thanks for dropping by and reading this post.

I have type 2 diabetes and I’ve learned a lot. Diet is very important as is exercise. I try and exercise at least thirty minutes a day by walking and bike riding.
I get enough sleep and recently reduced my A1C from 11.2 to 9.2
I’m on the right track and doing whatever I need to for the reversal of diabetes.
Drinking plenty of water is a must. I will look into the intermittent fasting you talk about. I never tried that before. Does it really work?

Hello Ches,

Does your brother in-law suffer from Metabolic Syndrome? In the end all of the conditions are related to each other, this means high blood sugar or glucose. Rather than me trying to diagnose a specific problem best bet is for your brother-in-law to see a doctor that specializes in diabetes.

I have been off of Metformin for more than a year and my most recent Hemoglobin A1c was 5.8 %. I expect to reduce it even more. I have also lost 25 lbs or 11.4 kg and 4 inches off of my waistline since last November and I have defeated my diabetes. My A1c is now under control due to the LCHF diet and Intermittent fasting (See my web page for more information). The fasting burns fat and I can almost lose weight at will by fasting.

The only way that your brother-in-law is going to defeat his condition is by educating himself and recognizing the symptoms if there are any. Of course obesity and high sugar intake (carbohydrates) is a factor. Reducing or eliminating junk food carbohydrates and table sugar will increase your chances of good health. I do not consume added sugar at all. Sugar is a toxin that leads to bad health.

Of course if you are diabetic, have liver, kidney or pancreas problems you will want to do the same.

Thanks very much for your comments.

Jimmy.

Hi Jimmy and thanks for an informative and upbeat post about how to control your diabetes.
My brother-in-law has not long been diagnosed with this condition (he suffers from syndrome X so it was just a matter of time).
Can you tell me if you are still on Metaform or have you reduced your meds to zero. I think that sometimes the drugs that are prescribed actually exacerbate the problem in some instances, leaving the body with an added burden of dealing with the drugs as well as dealing with the condition.
I am positive that you do indeed know more about type 2 diabetes than most doctors. Why a patient does not research his own condition is a mystery to me. There is the problem, of course, of persuading your doctor that you do actually know what’s best for your body, perhaps more than he does! Great post.

Hello, Jimmy!

Thank you for this post, is very useful and informative.
I don’t suffer from this disease, but a lot of my relatives do.

Thank you again!
