type of diet for juvenile diabetes

hello, i am ty mason of thediabetescouncil.com,researcher, writer and i have type 2 diabetes. today i want to talk about diabetes reversal. after you watch the video today, i inviteyou check out the description box for my new ebook. this is one of the most comprehensive diabetesmeal planning book you can find.

type of diet for juvenile diabetes, it contains diabetes friendly meals/recipes,recipes for different goals such as 800-1800 calories per day meal plan, diabetes mealplanning tips and tricks. there are also tons of diabetes friendly recipesfor everyone! let me begin by saying categorically thatat the time of this video, there is no cure

for diabetes. there are literally thousands of claims outthere saying their product or their program can cure your diabetes. simply put, they cannot. but, this question asks if diabetes can bereversed. so to begin this conversation we need to definewhat we mean by reversed. if we are saying we can take our bodies backto the time before we had diabetes, then no. if we are talking about a state in which wecan control our blood sugar without the use of any medications, then the answer is maybe.

let’s talk about those with type 1 diabetesfirst. if you have type 1 then you are insulin dependent. when you were first diagnosed, you may havegone through what is called a “honeymoon period” in which your blood sugar kept droppingand dropping and you used less and less insulin. you may have even stopped using it altogether. (by the way, researchers now feel that type1’s need to continue small insulin injections to protect what insulin producing cells theystill have.) but this honeymoon period will not last forever. if you have type 1 diabetes, then approximately90% of your insulin producing cells have been

destroyed. they have not been damaged with a chance ofrepair, they are gone. it is impossible to reverse the damage done. while some think their diabetes has been curedor even reversed, this is a false sense of security. the process that destroyed the 90% of insulinproducing cells with destroy the remaining 10%. ultimately you will be totally dependent oninsulin. type 1 diabetes cannot be reversed.

and this is not my opinion, it is the opinionof the foremost diabetes center in the world, the joslin diabetes center in boston. as far as type 2 diabetes, as long as we areclear on the definition of reversal i will say it is possible. remember, i am adamant about the fact thatthere is no cure for diabetes, but i do feel it is possible for a person with type 2 tobe able to go off their diabetes meds, for a time, and control their blood sugar. that would be a reversal. we cannot go back and reverse the damage doneby having diabetes, but it is possible to

control diabetes without medication. the most recent reliable research i couldfind on this subject was conducted in march of 2016. it was conducted professor roy taylor, professorof medicine and metabolism at newcastle university in new castle, england. the work was an extension of a 2011 studythat was in question, because of the brevity of the study. that study had a theory that “this researchis part of a growing body of evidence showing that people with type 2 diabetes who successfullylose weight can reverse their condition because

fat is removed from their pancreas, returninginsulin production to normal.” in the 2016 study, 30 volunteers with type2 went on a strict diet of 650 calories per day for 6 months. now, let me warn you right now, that is nota lot of food in 650 calories. however, the participants lost an averageof 30 pounds. they had to keep this weight off for another6 months. the results were that 12 of those with type2 who had been diagnosed less than10 years, reversed their diabetes. for those who had been diagnosed longer didnot have the same results.

the key to reversing diabetes is to lose weightand regular exercise. in another study discussed by michael dansinger,md, “ those with type 2 exercised for 175 minutes a week, limited their calories to1,200 to 1,800 per day, and got weekly counseling and education on these lifestyle changes. within a year, about 10% got off their diabetesmedications or improved to the point where their blood sugar level was no longer in thediabetes range, and was instead classified as prediabetes.” in every study i researched, it was apparentthat the numbers of those who were able to reverse their diabetes were largely dependenton the date of diagnosis.

those who were “newbies” had a betterchance of reversal. but even at that, the average of those whohave been able to reverse their diabetes has been about 10%. weight loss and exercise will not work foreveryone. part of that reason is that some people aresimply predisposed to diabetes. it’s in your genes. the reason we also call this a reversal ratherthan a cure? for those who have experienced reversal andthen gained their weight back, guess what happens?

they need to start their diabetes meds again. i can attest to that first hand. as a 400 pound man i was in bad shape in moreways that one. i dropped 185 pounds on a fad diet. it was great! i no longer needed any diabetes meds, i feltawesome and this went on for about 3 years. but then the diet i was on started affectingother parts of my body. i got very ill. i was told i had to stop the fad diet andtry to return to a “normal” diet or something

bad was going to happen. when i went off the fad diet i immediatelygained 100 pounds in a very short period of time. i had to go back on my diabetes meds. i have since lost 60 pounds through diet andexercise. but i still take my diabetes meds. did i reverse my diabetes? for a time, yes i did. is it possible to keep diabetes in a reversalmode?

yes it is. but don’t fall these gimmick programs thatpromise to cure or even reverse diabetes. scientific research says it is possible, butnot with a pill or a potion. it is possible through hard work of maintainingyour diet and getting plenty of exercise. if you want to start a plan to begin a processthat will hopefully reverse your diabetes, the first place to go is to see your healthcare provider. they will have safe plans for you to try. and if you need further assistance, my ebookhas lots of great ideas for those who want to begin this process.
