The Truth about Type 2 Diabetes and How to Reverse It

A lot of people think that diabetes is just a problem of blood sugar. The truth is that it is more than that. When you have diabetes, it means that there's a problem of insulin resistance and also inflammation which prevent the cells of the body from using insulin produced effectively.

Consequently, merely depending on drugs to lower blood glucose level is not the correct solution. It is a just short-term solution. In fact, the disease may even get worse because the source of the problem, which is insulin excess, is not addressed at all. Moreover, if you keep taking those ineffective drugs or medications, you will have to waste a lot of money for the rest of your life.

Trying the “natural way “ by avoiding carbohydrate, like a lot of people do, to lower blood glucose is not a solution either. You should understand not all carbs are bad for diabetes or your overall health. Not all carbs should be avoided. In reality, you should include “super carbohydrate" in your every day diet, which is about 40% to 50%, from healthy sources such as raw juices. However, to be able to find out out the best amount of carbs, you should do a post-meal blood glucose testing. In fact, testing your blood glucose is one of the most powerful ways to be able to start breaking free from type 2 diabetes.

Another thing to keep in mind when trying to defeat diabetes is this: don’t just focus on losing weight. What you should concentrate on is getting healthy. If you’re a fan of cereals, you can replace them with a healthier alternative: high fiber organic cereals. Also, use flaxseed oil or extra virgin olive oils instead of vegetable oils.

Remember that type 2 diabetes is curable, and you should not wait until complications such as diabetic nephropathy, gum disease, and eye disease are developed. What you need to do to start “killing” diabetes are getting the right knowledge (instead of being passive and do whatever your doctor tells you), avoid highly-processed foods and eat more unprocessed foods, exercise on a regular basis (aerobic, anaerobic, and stretching), and also test your blood glucose. Don’t forget to work with your doctor to make the process easier.
