Why Diabetes is a Reversible Condition

We have been conditioned to believe that diabetes is a chronic, progressive condition that will stay with us and we have to resign ourselves to suffer its complications. This is what we are taught in medical college and our entire treatment focus is geared to suppressing the symptom of diabetes, the high blood sugar levels. But this does NOTHING to prevent the development of complications.

Using insulin to lower blood sugar levels might seem logical, and it even works to an extent, but the truth is that it does not affect the disease process in any way. In fact, insulin itself is obesogenic, ie, it aids in the deposition of fat and increases inflammation, which increases disease.

Diabetes occurs because of:

INSULIN RESISTANCE

Blood sugar levels are high but the cells are already flush with sugar and ‘refuse’ to accept more. The body makes more insulin, ‘thinking’ that low insulin is why sugar levels are high. This extra insulin is ineffective in driving the sugar into the cells. Put in a very simple way, this is Insulin Resistance.

The way to reverse Insulin Resistance, thereby allowing the sugar to enter the cells, thereby lowering blood sugar levels, is to prevent insulin spikes. And this is easily done by restricting refined carbohydrate consumption.

HORMONE IMBALANCE

Stress causes cortisol levels to rise, and because stress in our lives is chronic, the cortisol rise is also chronic. Cortisol was expected to rise in response to the ‘fight or flight’ response in cave dwellers faced with a saber-toothed tiger. The adrenalin secretion allowed our eyes to dilate so we could see better, our hearts to pump faster so more blood could reach the muscles so we could run faster, increased flow to the brain so we could think better, and so on. Short term response to an acute stressor. During this event, activities like digestion, reproduction, hormone secretion took a backseat as these are not urgent, and energy has to utilized for the urgent. No point digesting food if we’re going to be eaten by the tiger!

In recent times, stress has become chronic. Thus the imbalance in the body response has also become chronic.

LIFESTYLE

The sedentary lifestyle we have all adopted, including our little children, increases the risk of developing Type II Diabetes. Men watching more than 40 hours a week of TV had thrice the risk as those watching for an hour.

NUTRITION

The food we eat today is lacking in nutrition compared to the same foods eaten say, 50 years ago. This is because of soil depletion, modern farming methods, use of pesticides, not to mention adulteration and the growth of fast ‘foods’. It stands to reason that a cheese curl full of chemicals cannot be the nutritional equivalent of an organic fresh green vegetable. Chemicals block cell receptors in the body, blocking enzymatic reactions. If the cell cannot function optimally, the body cannot either.

GENETICS

A family history of diabetes may load the gun, but the trigger is pulled only when lifestyle and poor nutrition contribute.

So there’s always a way.

Diabetes is unique among the chronic illnesses in how completely patient behavior influences it, and therefore it can be completely reversed. And the patient can actually look forward to regaining health and vitality, without fear of complications, without the constant stress of monitoring food and activity.

Diabetes is unique among the chronic illnesses in how completely patient behavior influences it, and therefore it can be completely reversed. A few changes in lifestyle, hormone balancing, detox, mind body balance and there you are!

Hello DiabetesDestroyer I know that type 2 diabetes can be reversed or put into remission for some people but not everyone.

I 100% agree that our lifestyle choices greatly affects our health and well being. 👍

In case complications are far advanced, they may not be reversible, of course. But the underlying diabetic condition can be reversed, though with good compliance.

Sir diabetic is a chronic and follows especially old age. Medicines food habits exercise etc help partially to live longer longer longer.

Exactly. Diabetes is NOT a chronic irreversible condition. It is the interest of pharmaceutical companies for us to keep believing that. I have spent over 30 years prescribing allopathic medication and getting nowhere in reversing disease. But now I see amazing, remarkable results without pharmaceuticals! And it makes me so sad, why did I spend all these years following the wrong paradigm? But of course, it was what we were taught and what we believed!

They're still in calorie counting mode! It's the nutrients, not the calories, that matter. When our ancestors ate, they just ate food. They didn't count calories, they didn't select macro and micronutrients, they just ate seasonal, local, fresh food as per availability. They ate irregularly, with periods of fasting, depending on when they were able to procure food. And that is what our biology is designed for, and what we need to follow.

I come from a country where basic food was on ration book per week. Rick people who had money bought food in the open market. My grand mother and my father only had on good meal a day! Yes no calories counting, they did not know about any counting, they only knew what is available for that day. this is because of food availability. Thing from the veg farm were sold to buy basic food. fire wood for cooking and paraffin for lamp was very expensive. We can go back an look but Morden way of living in any country is very different.

Today many people are over eating, very little control.
