Hi All,
HbA1c is a blood serum diagnostic test that indicates blood sugar response in the previous 3 months. as that is the approximate shelf life of a red blood cell. People with diabetes will know this very well as a measurement. Along with fasting blood glucose as a more immediate reading.
Dr David Unwin is a GP doctor here in the UK. He has now over 100 cases of drug free remission of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. It does take a collaborative effort to be both an inspiring physician and healthcare practise team, and a willingness for the person making the behavioural changes to commit to their own health transformations. It is nuanced and so whilst this graph might look easy, the reality is these changes take a lot of support, knowledge and open mindedness. which is why drug intervention is so many cases is always the first line in the bio-medical model.
Which is why I've titled this nutrition behavioural change. Diet changes can only come from within which is vastly complex as to why we might be eating in certain ways to begin with. Diet steams from the Greek dieta, or dieteta, meaning 'way of life'.
Many variables.
Be inspired! Change happens in increments. Remember to be kind in your unique exploration of awakening your inner. physician.
