For people who have type 2 diabetes, there is good news. The more studies that come in, the more it seems real that you don’t have to commit to expensive, debilitating and sometimes deadly (in the case of the Actos cancer lawsuits) prescription medications.
You can aggressively combat your condition with nothing more than proper nutrition, exercise, stress management, and insulin balancing supplements. Combined, these efforts can reverse your diabetic condition without any side effects.
In fact, the only consequences will be positive, life-changing improvements to your life, such as better sleep, better sex, weight loss, and a happier, more energetic attitude. What’s the catch? There is none, just adhere to the following regimen:
First, consult your doctor and get some tests. This includes a 75-gram glucose tolerance test that will measure your glucose and insulin levels. Check to make sure your fasting blood sugar is under 100mg/dl while your fasting insulin is less than 10. Your one and two hour levels should be under 130 mg/dl and under 35 respectively.
Another test you need will make sure your triglycerides are under 150 mg/dl and your HDL levels are above 50 mg/dl. Also get a cholesterol test that measures the size of cholesterol particles.
Once these tests are complete adhere to the following regimen, prescribed by Dr. Mark Hyman and many other physicians and medical practitioners:
Eat a low glycemic diet of fiber, plant-based vegetables, beans, nuts, fruit, plant-based protein and some whole grain. These foods will help to regulate your blood sugar levels. Additionally, the absence of meat and dairy from your diet will protect your blood vessels and reduce your overall fat. This diet, if followed strictly, will dramatically improve your condition within only a couple months.
Exercise vigorously for 30 minutes or more four or five times a week. Three days a week do 20 minutes of strength training. Exercise will not only improve your cardiovascular health, which translates into healthier, oxygenated blood, it improves your mood and can influence other positive decisions in your life.
Take multivitamins, Omega 3 fatty acid supplements, vitamin-D, and chromium and alpha lipoic acids to help balance your insulin and blood sugar levels.
Evidence supports a low-fat starch-based vegan lifestyle centered around a diet of potatoes, rice, corn, sweet potatoes, pasta, vegetables and fruit. This, combined with exercise and the aforementioned supplements could cure you of your diabetic condition without any prescribed medication whatsoever.
