Hello Melissa
Changing your lifestyle by dieting, exercise and intermittent fasting is the only way to keep your type 2 diabetes in check. Even though type 1 can be hereditary it has more to do with the pancreas able to function properly after digestion.

Hi Jimmy.
Thank you so much for the very detailed answers. I have always wondered about these questions. I am so glad to hear you can cure Type 2 diabetes. And as you mentioned I know your eating habits and exercise has a lot to do with it as well. I hope they can figure out if type 1 can be hereditary at some point. It might just help us in the long run with more answers.

Hello Mellisa,

In response to your statement can you actually be cured of type 2 diabetes. The answer is you can lower your A1c to the normal range through a lifestyle change. The best way to do it is through diet, exercise and intermittent fasting.
Once you have a achieved lowering your A1c you still need to maintain it, by continuing with the lifestyle change.
In answer to the question is type 1 diabetes hereditary? It may or may not be as it has more to do with the pancreas not able to secrete enough insulin when food (carbs and protein) is consumed. A person could have an injury to the pancreas and if the pancreas is damaged and unable to function in a case like this the person would become a type 1 diabetic and would need insulin to regulate the glucose.
I hope this helps.

My last word is cut down on your sugar and processed food intake and you will lead a healthy life.

Hello Guilia,

You are definitely on the right track. Limiting sugar is a good idea.
If you want to know whether you are diabetic, you should go to your doctor and get your Hemoglobin A1C checked.
If your Hemoglobin A1c is 5.5 or less you are not diabetic. 5.5 to 6.0 prediabetic and above 6.0 diabetic.

I was type 2 diabetic for a long time and have lost 35 lbs and 4 inches off of my waist. I did that in less than 2 months and can lose weight at will by fasting. In the last year I have maintained the same weight and anyone can do it.

It is no secret, eat healthy whole natural food, the food I eat is a Low Carb High Fat (LCHF) diet, fast for 5 days a week for 12 hours and 2 days for 16 hours. This means no snacking of any sort between meals. I try to walk for at least 1 hour a day. The result that I attain may be different from someone else but you need to experiment a bit to determine what works for you.

I have stopped consuming sugar and processed foods. This includes high junk food carbs and sugar, sugar sweeteners, sugar additives and anything related to sugar. Fructose is exactly like alcohol which causes fatty liver and then cirrhosis. Check out my blog “Can Too Much Sugar Cause Diabetes?”

I wish you good health.
