nice finding.

It can. I have a personal sharing. My father got into an accident last year with broken leg bone and diabetes complication with blood glucose reading of 20.9. His surgery wound is able to heal within 1 month.

4 months later, his blood glucose level is able to be reversed to healthy level of 5.6 and no longer need to take diabetic medication and insulin shot

More like well control or your father was on border line case earlier almsot similar to those pregnant women having diabetes condition but after delivered..gone.

However once you are confirmed and no longer border line.. whatever medication also useless except insulin. Even those diebetic medication also won't works well!!

Probably you can enlighten us your definition of borderline?
My father is a confirmed diabetic prior to the accident. Just out of curiosity, do you know how insulin or diabetic medication actually works to lower blood glucose?

Just to recap. I am a diebetic since 18 i.e that was 26yrs ago. I have tried whatever alternative medications & etc and all not working for me.. So do u think wth >25 yrs of experience I dunno how insulin & diebetic mediction works

Stimix, which type are you?

Unknown. at 1st diagnosed as type 2. Thereafter Type 1 during my Mar 2013 visit when they started me on insulin..and latest visit to replenish latest insulin stock..The doc told me type 2 again
ANyway, from my own observation, I'm more on type 1.5

As what I know, T1 is due to some people were born with pancreas that is not able to produce insulin (heredity). While T2, the pancreas is able to produce insulin but not all insulin were used/or not enough. Thus, insulin shot is given to people with T2 diabetes. But if this continues, the working pancreas will not produce normally since there are supplies from outside. I believe this is why your doctor not able to diagnose your type. Sometimes tell you T1 sometimes T2. Doesn't sound reliable to me

For my father case, luckily we managed to get good reliable consulltation. Instead of depending on insulin shot for whole life, my dad opted for supplementation for healing (using complimentary therapy). So his T2 diabetes was reversed in just 4 months and now even without insulin shot/mediation, his blood glucose reading is 5.6

Stimix case is the same with me.

Diagnose with Diabetes on 2003, Doctor can decide what type but since I'm young, they decided that I'm a type 1 so they prescribe me insulin. been living with insulin up till dec 2012.

In july 2012, after change of doctor, new doctor prescribe Victoza, cancel Novomix and Novorapid since both promotes appetite and maintain Levemir. My blood glucose was in control after 3 month of this new medicine regime couple with following diabetic diet. I only starts to exercise on October 2012.

by december 2012, doctor stops the Levemir since I'm having hypos.

by march 2013, stop on victoza and by april stop on metformin.

right now I don't take any medication for diabetes and my GTT shows that I'm no longer diabetic.

Preprandial 5.3
Postprandial 5.6

means that diabetes can actually be healed if we maintain a healthy lifestyle and diet?

Some people in this forum will be fuming mad at the notion of healed but truth be told, my hb1ac tells it all. My endocrinologist reminds me that I need to keep doing what I have done, Exercise and Diabetic diet.

at least you are back in healthy condition, congrats!

Aiyooo.. Now I know why u heal liao.. SUper strict no rice diet If I switch to this + exercise, I think I also can reverse liao because this type of diet & exercise was what I practised during early 20 and I yes.. my BS was normal during this strict diet + exercise for sure haha.

I cannot stand on this diebetic style lifestyle and switch back to Asian diet and once working, less exercise & once married -eat more & exercise getting lesser... So BS also gone up

To really confirm cure or not, you must eat normally- no diebetic diet & recheck

this is eat normal la

why do i need to eat like malaysia do. pagi2 makan nasi lemak tengahari 1000 kalori malam some more 1000 kalori. doesn't made sense.

i prefer to live longer healthy than have my fingers/toes/kaki/tangan amputated or worst be like my late mom have to go for dialysis every 3 times in a week.

my not normal eating last time was plate ful of rice, chicken egg less vege and another protein fish or meat. drink sweet stuff like plain water four times daily and no exercise at all.

itu confirm la dpt diabetes.

But for really normal ppl, eating all this also will maintained at 5-6 mmol wan liao lor But for diebetic esp type 2.. you eat like those normal ppl sure gone crazy wan.. Your strict diet & exercise are controlling your diabetes not that you are 100% heal

ehem i did the glucose tolerance test which is what normal people drink and diabetic people would shot the Blood sugar to double digit figure. my BLOOD SUGAR remain at 5.6.

beside my vastly experience endocrinologist confirms that technically i'm no longer diabetic.
