i doubt if the pharma industry suggests eating carbohydrate. Why are we misleading diabetics? It is people who decide their food and suffer diabetes chronically.

What is the other way as last sentence suggests?

Anybody who is on insulin knows pretty well that carbohydrates have to be eaten moderately to control the sugar levels. If someone does not know about that simple fact, then they need some education. Where does the pharma industry come into this? They play hardly any role in deciding the insulin dosages. It is between the diabetic and his/her doctor.

Why would a type 2 diabetic continue to be on insulin when it is totally reversible?

The pharma companies come into this because this fact is not widely publicised and in fact actively suppressed, including in publications in major medical journals.

Please throw some light on reversing diabetes. Also, give me some suggestions for my guidance. I am 75 and on insulin since 3 years.

I am not allowed to talk about my work on this forum, when I posted from my blog, it was deleted. So I'm not quite sure how to post useful content. But I do help my patients reverse their diabetes - with or without insulin - within few days.

rvmasalvad, I would like to be compassionate with diabetics : Most of them are not truly aware about what they should and 'shouldn't' eat, and that's because we as doctors are not truly aware how to guide them to not just suppress their condition but actually reverse it.

I read the article end to end and the contents are quite acceptable to me personally.But the article is more about obesity and it's relationship with diabetes.But please consider,is not the problem related more with food industry rather than pharma industry?In most cases,obesity is a result of eating large portions of highly processed foods.I do agree that as a south Indian vegetarian I have to be extremely moderate with intake of carbohydrates.So, I now rely on vegetables,boiled mixed sprouts,one egg per day and small quantity o cheese.I also consume a little of ghee without guilt.So,why am I on insulin and my sugar levels are not that great?Because with advancement of age,I have developed sleep disorders and breathing problems.These together have thrown my diabetes control out of order.Luckily for me modern medicine has rescued me by relieving me from both the problems and my numbers are very encouraging now.That is why I am not very enthusiastic to blame the medical/pharma guys for my problem.I am looking for my doctor to cut down the insulin dose during my next visit.

Thank yo,for your response.

Diabetes is a major cause of blindness, kidney failure, heart attacks, stroke and lower limb amputation.

In 2015, an estimated 1.6 million deaths were directly caused by diabetes. Another 2.2 million deaths were attributable to high blood glucose in 2012.

Almost half of all deaths attributable to high blood glucose occur before the age of 70 years. WHO projects that diabetes will be the seventh leading cause of death in 2030.

Healthy diet, regular physical activity, maintaining a normal body weight and avoiding tobacco use are ways to prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes.

Diabetes can be treated and its consequences avoided or delayed with diet, physical activity, medication and regular screening and treatment for complications.

Along with the above, what we as Integrative medicine physicians do is : Hormone Balancing, Detox, Stress Reduction techniques, Targeted Supplementation and Mind Body Balance. It is common to achieve remission. leading to complete good health, in fact not just good health but optimum health.
