If you want type 2 , conventional to cut fat and eat “ whole .” (This is also true for type diabetes in susceptible individuals pancreatic beta cell triggered by gliadin or corn zein.) But what if you don’t want to follow the footsteps of the two thirds of and Canadians who are now or pre-diabetic? What if you don’t want the expense and side-effects of oral drugs and –one of the most gain drugs ? What if you don’t want to , develop cardiovascular disease, experience gastroparesis, develop peripheral neuropathy and peripheral arterial disease that can lead to limb gangrene and amputation? What if you don’t want to add to the growing healthcare bubble being created by misguided advice compounded by the overwhelming profit-motive that drives modern care? Not following this path and being spared the awful future that diabetes creates is really pretty . But it cannot be done by following the advice of the American Diabetes Association, nor following the advice of the majority of diabeteseducators. There are an increasingly larger number of healthcare practitioners who are enlightened and follow strategies like those listed below. But most sadly remain utterly in the dark, doing more to make the diabetes epidemic worse, not contributing to any except to offer drugs and procedures. Here’s a checklist that, if followed, allow the majority of pre-diabetics and diabetics to non-pre-diabetic and non-diabetic: Eat NO grains or sugars–Remember: a standpoint, most grains are worse sugar in their blood sugar raising potential. The safety of “complex” carbohydrates in grains is complete fiction: their glycemic indexes are higher than sucrose. Don’t limit fat intake–Yes: eat the fat on your pork or steak, eat bone marrow, have , use more organic butter or ghee, use more coconut oil. Correct vitamin D –I aim to achieve a 25-hydroxy vitamin D level of 60-70 ng/ml, a level usually achieved with 4000-8000 units (oil-based gelcap or liquids, not tablets) per day. This helps restoreinsulin responsiveness/ insulin resistance. Supplement omega-3 acids–from fish oil , not krill oil, flaxseed, or chia. (Flaxseed and chia are wonderful, but do not provide EPA and DHA.) I believe ideal intake is in the range of 3000-3600 mg EPA DHA per day, divided in two. EPA DHA blunt the postprandial (-meal) surge in digestive byproducts (chylomicrons and VLDL) that oppose insulin. Correct bowel flora– with a -potency probiotic (e.g., 50 billion CFUs per day with at least a dozen species of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacteria) for several weeks, but it is even more important long-term to properly nourish bowel flora with fibers/resistant starches, as discussed . Properly bowel flora yields fatty metabolites that increase your ’s responsiveness to insulin and blood sugar. Supplement magnesium–e.g., magnesium malate, 1200 mg twice per day (180 mg “elemental” magnesium twice per day), a modest advantage in restoring insulin responsiveness. Fast intermittently–Brief periods of fasting,e.g., 15-36 hours, allow fatty liver (present to varying degrees in everyone with high blood sugars) to recede, a huge advantage in restoring insulin responsiveness. Be sure to hydrate more than usual during any fasting period. Sleep adequately–Not a minor factor, as sleep deprivation increases carb cravings and increases snacking, while also insulin. Most people 7 1/2 hours per night. You might have to make friends with melatonin and tryptophan to manage your circadian rhythm. Be active–including avoiding prolonged sitting. Anyone on insulin or oral diabetes drugs, especially glyburide, glipizide, and glimepiride, talk to their healthcare provider about an immediate reduction in dosage or even eliminating one or more of them, since you do not want any (low blood sugar). If your refuses to work with you or tells you this is stupid, find a new doctor ASAP. Doctors should be experts in reversing diabetes but you will find that the majority are not, despite knowing how to prescribe thedrugs. There you have it. Should you give it a try, be sure to come back and report your experience. And for more discussions about how to reverse other conditions with natural means, see .
