Do you believe that type 2 diabetes can be improved or even reversed through dietary intervention?

Dietary interventions can ameliorate or reverse the onset of diabetes, and similar examples can often be found in clinical settings.

This part of the population is usually first-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus patients, blood glucose is below 10mmol / L, there is no obvious thirst, drinking, urination, wasting and other metabolic disorders, most often found in the process of physical examination or in the process of checking for other diseases accidentally discovered, part of the population need to carry out the 75g glucose tolerance test for a definitive diagnosis.

Dietary treatment has always been an important means of diabetes treatment, scientific and formal dietary treatment can improve insulin resistance, reduce calorie intake, reduce weight and promote the utilization of glucose in the body, so it can lower blood sugar.

And type 2 diabetes is also based on genetic factors, not focusing on lifestyle adjustments, consuming too many calories and too little activity, resulting in too much nutrient retention in the body, obesity and insulin resistance. And insulin resistance is the pathophysiologic basis of type 2 diabetes.

So dietary interventions can improve type 2 diabetes and for some people can even reverse it.

I know some patients in the clinic is through dietary intervention to maintain normal blood glucose for a long time, the longest a patient has been 11 years, blood glucose is always kept within the target range, the weight is relatively standard, this patient will be able to always adhere to the control of the diet, in accordance with our requirements, adhere to maintain a balanced intake of nutrients, protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber and so on with a reasonable combination with the Daily exercise, blood sugar has been maintained quite well. Moreover, this patient is able to insist on regular body checkups, a comprehensive physical examination every six months, and has his own blood glucose meter, which measures his blood glucose from time to time every day. The patient's mentality has always been very good, and sometimes he will even talk about his own experience in controlling blood glucose in our patient education activities.

Even though his blood sugar stays very good, he has always thought of himself as a diabetic, instead of relaxing himself when his blood sugar is under control like others. He said that the diabetic diet is a healthy diet for all people, always stick to a healthy diet in order to maintain a healthy body, without a healthy body, what money, house, car, career, family, dreams still from where to talk about it!

Yes, he is a young man under 40 with a successful career and a happy family. Such a realization is known to many, but very few are able to achieve it.

Dietary interventions can improve type 2 diabetes to some extent.

The basis of treatment for people with type 2 diabetes must be to regulate their diet, while improving their diet can help alleviate higher blood sugar to some extent.
But the thing you have to know is thatDiabetes is due to impaired insulin function, so there is no way to completely cure diabetes through diet.


of the broad therapeutic principles of diet for diabetics.

The first point is to pay attention to self-management and receive regular individualized nutritional guidance.
The second point is to eat a light diet, drink plenty of water and limit alcohol consumption.
The third point is that staple foods are rationed, with a mix of coarse and fine, and 1/3 whole grains and mixed legumes.
Point 4, eat lots of vegetables. Fruits in the right kinds and in a variety of colors.
The fifth point, often eat with poultry, eggs, and poultry meat in moderation, to limit processed meats.

How do you ration your staple foods and mix them with coarser and finer foods.

You'd better be inWith the help of your doctor or dietitian, determine the amount of staple foods that are right for you. Choose low GI staple foods, avoid overly fine staple foods such as white rice and white flour, and pair them with mixed grains and legumes such as millet, oats, barley, purple rice, mung beans, red beans, black beans, and it is best if whole grains or mixed legumes make up 1/3 of your staple food.
What are the miscellaneous legumes included?
Examples include adzuki beans, kidney beans, green beans, and peas.
Rice, wheat, corn, barley, rye, black rice, sorghum, yellow rice, millet, etc. are all good sources of whole grains if processed.

It's best to control the source of calories.

Choose complex sugars with 45-60% carbohydrates and choose foods with a low glycemic index.

Control fat intake and cholesterol intake should ideally not exceed 300mg/d.

Choose a high quality protein, 15-20% protein, in general protein intake needs to be at 0.8/kg. d. There are vegetable proteins, whey proteins and so on.

You should choose foods that are rich in vitamin level minerals like vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E and many more such foods.

Increase dietary fiber intake with a recommended intake of 25-30 g/d.


I'm Dr. Small Eyes, so if there's anything you don't understand, you can comment and let me know!

It is true that some people have reversed their diabetes through diet and need to be kept up to date with the latest information and regimens.

Diabetes can be reversed by abandoning the "drug-only" approach!

Cases of low carb diets reversing diabetes have been shared in The Lancet in 2017 and at the World Diabetes Congress in 2018.

The most famous event was on June 13, 2018, when the UK's National Service Healthcare System (NHS) announced that it was supporting 8,000 of its hospitals to treat diabetes with a low-carbon diet.

This low carb ketogenic treatment for diabetes, originally launched by the Diabetes Recovery website, won the UK's 2016 [Positive Social Impact] honor.


To date, a total of 326,000 people have participated in this free, low-carb diet program. 60% of diabetics have experienced a reduction in their condition, 94% have seen a reduction in their medication use, the average glycosylated hemoglobin has dropped by 1.3, the average annual cost of the program has been reduced by $7,000, and some diabetics have experienced a reversal of their diabetes.

Subsequently, the Diabetes Society of Australia in August '18 and the American and European Diabetes Associations in October '18 endorsed the low carbon diet as a "cure" for diabetes.

Diabetes as a typical lifestyle disease, can not rely solely on drugs, must be from multiple perspectives and multi-faceted to regulate, diet, exercise, emotion, breathing, relaxation methods are very important. Among them, diet is the most important!

Low-Carb Ketogenic Diet:

Before humans learned to grow crops, humans ate a low-carb ketogenic diet, a natural way of eating that boasts better blood glucose blood lipid levels, a greater supply of energy and less hunger.

Low-carb diets allow the body to switch from sugar metabolism to fat metabolism to feed the body by consuming large amounts of fatty and greasy foods and strictly controlling carbohydrates.

Doctors and dietitians who don't know much about the ketogenic diet should do more to learn more about it instead of blindly questioning it. As for the ketoacidosis and increase in uric acid that some doctors worry about, the ketone body level on ketogenic is only 4, whereas acidosis has to be 20 or more, and the two are not of the same order of magnitude.

UKIP chairman Tom Watson, who was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in the summer of 2017, managed to reverse it after just one year.

One to two weeks prior to ketogenic, 75% of energy is supplied by fat, 20% by protein, and 5% by sugar. Starchy foods (rice noodles, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc.) are limited to no more than 20 grams per day, i.e., as much as possible.

Examples of low carbon recipes: breakfast fried eggs, fried bacon, coffee with thin cream, and vegetable salad. For lunch steak or braised pancetta, brussels sprouts, and for dinner buttermilk fried chicken tenders, sauteed cauliflower, boiled brussels sprouts, and increased coconut oil for low fat intake.

This diet recipe is just an example, not as a diabetes conditioning advice, due to the risk of diabetes in the early stages of conditioning, it is not recommended to blindly try, you need to be under the guidance of a professional doctor and dietitian.

Vista has been guiding chronic disease rehabilitation for more than a decade, and the details about the non-drug regimen for a wide range of obesity, diabetes, uric acid, and other chronic diseases are in my Wukong Q&A. This article is my 534th answer in Wukong, I hope it will help you.

Thanks for liking and following and retweeting!

Diabetes is one of the chronic diseases most closely related to dietary nutrition, so scientific and reasonable diet is very important. And among the five carriages of diabetes treatment, dietary nutrition treatment is the most basic and important measure. It can well help diabetic patients to manage and control their blood sugar and help their blood sugar return to normal.

What exactly do you need to do with your diet?

1. Eat a balanced diet to maintain a healthy weight and prevent obesity and wasting;

2. Staple food should be in quantities, with a combination of coarse and fine food, and it is recommended that whole grains and legumes (red beans, mung beans, oats, rye, black rice, corn, etc.) should account for 1/3 of the total;

3. Eat more vegetables, it is recommended that 500 grams of vegetables be consumed every day, with dark-colored vegetables accounting for one-half of the total, and that they be cooked in a proper way to avoid excessive oil and salt. Choose fruits with lower GI, pay attention to the reasonable arrangement of the time of consumption of fruits, choose to eat fruits in the middle of two meals or before or after exercise, and it is not easy to consume too many fruits each time;

4. Eat fish and poultry, eggs and animal meat in moderation, no more than one egg per day, reduce the intake of fatty meats, limit processed meats, bacon, cured meats, smoked meats, sauces and marinated meats as much as possible to limit the intake.

5. Ensure 300 grams of liquid milk per day and eat soy products every day.

6. Drink adequate amounts of water and limit alcohol consumption

7. Eat regularly, chew slowly and pay attention to the order of meals, starting with vegetables, followed by meat, and finishing with staple foods.

8. Monitor blood glucose, use medication appropriately and prevent hypoglycemia. Regularly review and follow the doctor's instructions for medication and do not stop medication without authorization.

#Diabetes #Diet #Wellness First of all, diet is crucial to improving diabetes, it is one of the five pillars of diabetes treatment, and it needs to be used throughout the treatment of diabetes! But as for the degree of reversal of diabetes, it is not only related to the dietary approach, but also to the current condition of the diabetic patient, such as the honeymoon period and before the diabetic patient, through scientific dietary intervention, it is possible to reverse diabetes!

In fact, diabetes, like cancer, is divided into early, intermediate and late stages, and the honeymoon stage belongs to the intermediate stage of diabetes. Early diabetes and pre-diabetes are collectively known as the abnormal glucose tolerance period, the change of pancreatic islet function in this period is that insulin secretion is more than normal, blood glucose is normal, but there are frequent cases of easy to be hungry after meals; after a period of time, insulin secretion is weakened, and the blood glucose starts to rise, but the fasting glucose is not yet high enough to reach 7.0mmol/L, or the 2 hours postprandial blood glucose is higher than 7.8mmol/L, but not yet higher than 11.1mmol/L; at present, 400 million patients in China belong to the abnormal glucose tolerance period. 11.1mmol/L; At present, 450 million patients in China belong to the abnormal glucose tolerance period, and those who are in this period are at high risk of diabetes, and if they are not careful, they will be one of the 114 million prospective diabetics. But this period is also the best time to detect and reverse blood sugar.

Honeymoon period belongs to the middle stage of diabetes, most of the sugar patients were diagnosed with diabetes is in the honeymoon period of diabetes, this period of pancreatic islet function is impaired, but its own function still exists, the pancreatic islet secretion of insulin is reduced, so, in this period of sugar patients, the doctor usually prescribe some drugs to promote the secretion of insulin to promote pancreatic islet secretion of insulin, such as sulfonylurea drugs, glimepiride, and so on.

Golden honeymoon period of blood sugar is still reversible, this period of glycolipid toxicity infringement is more serious, microangiopathy and neuropathy began to appear, at this time, in addition to the scientific intervention of diet, exercise, but also need to take drugs short-term intensive treatment, and the need to eat more antioxidant food, clean up the glycolipid toxins, this stage through the scientific dietary interventions, it can be reversed to pre-glycemic or early glycemic, and a considerable portion of sugar lovers medication can be reduced or even stopped!

Of course, there is also a considerable part of the people found in diabetes directly into the loss of stage, also called the middle and late stage, this group of people is generally already appeared diabetic complications, in the treatment of complications found in the process of diabetes, this period of β-cells apoptosis, pancreatic islet function has been very poor, and glucolipids toxicity serious infringement of optic nerves, microvascular, macrovascular, hepatic and renal class appeared serious complications, this period of time, in addition to the diet, In addition to the scientific intervention of diet and exercise, this period requires a long period of combined medication and cleaning up the glycolipotoxicity and alleviating the aggression of glycolipotoxicity. However, reversal is not impossible, and it is still possible to reverse to the honeymoon phase, which may take longer.

But once into the sugar late stage, it is very difficult to have the possibility of reversal, under normal circumstances, type 2 diabetes patients are also very few to this period, because this period of sugar, necessarily appeared very serious complications, such as diabetic ketoacidosis, diabetic foot, uremia, etc. Type 1 diabetic patients are more common.

A few days ago, the sugar tribe of non-drug sugar control camp received a piece of good news: suffering from type 12 diabetes has been 12 years of trainees, "edge" and reduce the drug, 1 grain of Novorac even divided into 4 times to eat!

Sure.

It's not really a dietary intervention, but a strict control of food! The determination to put down chopsticks when you least want to do so is, to put it plainly, the result of a long battle between your own will and your own perseverance. The hard work of removing lipids and fatty liver. As for this blood sugar level can be normalized. Of course, exercise also plays an important role.

I say this as a reflection of my own return to normalcy from being a diabetic beginner. It took 15 years!

Movement is the key! Diet as a supplement, you if you walk two to three hours a day, divided into three or four walks, diet do not overdo it is good, blood glucose steadily drop, look back: now part of the rural farmers they have enough exercise every day, but they eat enough, diet quality of life is not too good! How many of them have three high problems?

When I was young, my diet was not good, plus I was busy with my career and had too much pressure, so I had diabetes for 10 years, and at the beginning I took medicine to control it, and I didn't have to control my diet, but my blood sugar was around 8.5. Because that time is only 35 years old, worried about it, and then also considered gastric bypass surgery, see the postoperative meal is too much trouble, gave up. Later, I consulted a lot of information at home and abroad, and started a zero-sugar and low-carbon diet, usually eating only vegetables and fish, meat, eggs and milk, all the rice and noodles and other high-carbon foods are not eaten, and occasionally eat some dumplings and buns, and eat fruits almost every day, and maintain a moderate amount of exercise. Now, without medication or injections, fasting blood glucose is around 6.2, and glycation index is around 5.6, which is basically a reversal of diabetes indicators!

Last year for other reasons to the provincial hospital hospitalization, I said I diabetes doctor did not believe, because from the laboratory results are normal, and once suspected that I was misdiagnosed, and later in the examination found that diabetes is still not the same as normal people! The doctor was interested in my approach to diet control and I gave him a lesson in passing! Vanity huh! Catch interest in the sugar friends can follow me, communicate with each other to learn! Wish the majority of sugar friends a speedy recovery !

Recently, many experts in the medical field are mentioning a "reversal of diabetes" concept (not the same as a cure), after the reversal can be through diet control and exercise, no drugs and no injections can control blood sugar. One of the great certainty of reversal is the young obese sugar lovers!

Reversal is not to be talked about, diabetes can be improved with diet and exercise, but this too requires long term persistence to see results. So it's a lifelong endeavor.

Dietary control is the foundation of the treatment of diabetes, which helps to reduce the burden on the pancreatic islets, lower blood glucose, reduce the amount of medication and control weight. Diabetic patients with mildly elevated blood glucose can normalize their blood glucose by relying solely on dietary control.

Dietary treatment is nothing but the effect of controlling the food to low salt, low sugar and low fat through food selection and proper cooking techniques, followed by controlling the dosage while eating and not eating too much while achieving the energy for the day. Avoid excessive intake of food, resulting in elevated blood sugar.

An article published in the journal Science in March 2018 has given hope to people with type 2 diabetes that a diet high in dietary fiber can improve type 2 diabetes. The application of molecular biology to gut flora in recent years has led scientists to clearly point out that there is a direct correlation between type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance induced by gut flora disorders, and that gut flora has become a valid target for type 2 diabetes, which, in turn, can be optimized through dietary regimens.

Type 2 diabetics have fewer butyric acid-producing bacteria in their intestines than healthy people, and type 2 diabetics have a particularly high percentage of certain harmful bacteria in their intestinal flora.When these harmful bacteria associated with insulin resistance are identified, an effective, actionable dietary intervention program can be developed, with the goal of decreasing the percentage of these flora, and increasing the percentage of those that are beneficial to intestinal health, so that the elimination of insulin resistance.

When both questions of what can be intervened and how to intervene are addressed, a scientifically designed dietary intervention program can improve, or even reverse, type 2 diabetes.

It is also clear from the above discussion that early intervention for type 2 diabetics whose body normally secretes insulin is entirely promising, and this is also clinically proven.
