Type 2 Diabetes Can Be Cured and Reversed - The Logic and Practice




Reversing Diabetes: The High 5 Way

Dr. Siddhartha Misra
Educreation Publishing, 20-Dec-2016 - Self-Help - 353 pages


 Learn the details of what goes on inside a diabetic body and how to avoid all complications associated with diabetes, reverse the damage caused by years of neglect, achieve and maintain perfectly normal blood sugar levels without injecting insulin or popping in conventional diabetic medicines for life.

https://books.google.co.in/books?id=JBCsDQAAQBAJ



While extreme,   bariatric  surgeries have proven the point that the metabolic abnormalities that underlie T2D (hyper insulinemia, insulin resistance) can often be fully reversed after a short (weeks) period of intensive treatment with bariatrics.

Similarly fasting can cure Type 2 Diabetes.

Type 2 Diabetes can be cured.
Saying otherwise is a big lie.

It is a feasible  method.



Jason Fung advocates intermittent fasting for effective weight loss.  According to him Calorie Reduction as Primary strategy for weight reduction fails in the long run in majority of persons, as the body's chemically decided or determined weight requirement will bring back the weight to original level. Jason Fung talks of insulin resistance that requires preparation of more insulin by pancreas. This increases insulin in the body compared to a healthy persons and gives rise to more weight. The insulin has to be brought down by increasing insulin sensitivity. Keeping a gap of more than 12 hours between food intake will increase insulin sensitivity.

For permanent weight loss, insulin levels in the body are to be brought down, by fasting for more than 12 hours for many days. This intermittent fasting is the better strategy.

High Fiber Foods - You have to eat 30 to 40 grams fiber per day




Getting enough fiber  helps in maintaining health.

Hairston’s research shows that people who eat 10 grams of soluble fiber per day -- without any other diet changes -- build up less visceral fat over time than others. That’s as simple as eating two small apples, a cup of green peas, or a half-cup of pinto beans. (Kristen Hairston, MD, assistant professor of endocrinology and metabolism at Wake Forest School of Medicine.)


Apple 2.4 gms per 100 grams

More fiber than apple

1. russell potato

2. Sweet potato

3. chick peas

4. whole grain bread

5. oats  (10.6%)

6. chia seeds

7. Broccoli

8. Pear

9. 5.6 gms in half pomegranate - It also has 20 grams of sugar

10. Pearled barley

About Visceral Fat, Complications Created by it and Its Reduction






Increased visceral fat is an important measure that increases  risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes and certain cancers. Visceral fat is increasing  dramatically with age. Increased risk of disease may be largely prevented if the age related increase in visceral fat is prevented. Data shows that visceral fat is increasing over 200% in men and 400% in women between the 3rd and 7th decades.



Too little research is available to be able to identify what the optimal exercise program would be for preventing an age related increase in visceral fat. However, an argument can be made for resistance training being included in such a program. As little as 30–40 minutes of high intensity resistance training will help to conserve muscle. Aerobic training also has added benefits, including reduced blood lipids, increased energy expenditure, and improved insulin sensitivity.

Therefore, it can be argued that a combined program of aerobic and resistance training would be valuable for enhancement of fat distribution, decreasing risk of diabetes, heart disease and some cancers, as well as maintaining a high quality of life.
