Reversing Type 2 Diabetes

My dad was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Well, after he stopped drinking 6 ginger ale's every night along with some other horrendous eating habits, all of his #'s are fine.. and his diet still sucks, but no where near as much as it once did.
 
I would assume so, since you can't distinguish between type 1 and type 2 diabetes, being a diabetic yourself.

type 1 diabetes is juvenile diabetes, only children have type 1 diabetes. Adults can't get type 1 diabetes as an adult. Of course, an adult can be living with type 1 diabetes but those adults have had it since they were children. Type 1 diabetes are insulin dependent and are usually the worst cases of diabetes.

type 2 diabetes is adult diabetes, children don't get type 2 diabetes. There are insulin dependent type 2 diabetes and those that aren't insulin dependent.

I'm a non-insulin dependent type 2 diabetic. I'm 6'2" and 195 lbs. I try to control my diet and stay away from carbs and sugar. Whether I take medication or not is irrelevant, I'm still a diabetic and always will be. At the present time I'm CONTROLLING my diabetes but I'll never beat it. I'll always have a screwed up pancreas, there's no denying it.

We can't totally stay away from carbs. Our bodies take the carbs and turns them into sugar. sugar=energy. When you're exercising your body needs the sugar in your blood to exercise, that's why diabetics need to exercise, to use the sugar in our blood. If we don't exercise, the sugar stays in our blood stream. People without diabetes have a good pancreas which dumps insulin into their blood stream to negate the sugar. Diabetics don't have a pancreas that's functioning properly, so maybe it dumps some insulin or maybe it dumps no insulin. A diabetic may also dump more insulin one time and possibly less the next time, it's not always the same.

Both type 1 and type 2 have pancreas which don't produce enough insulin. The difference is when in life you start to have the problem.
 
My father died in May last year. When I registered his death, on the death certificate it was listed as type 2 diabetes as one of the causes. I genuinely didn't know much about it and how prolific it was.

Not really sure why I posted this tbh. Just to say - make sure you get checked out when you hit your 30s / 40s / 50s.

RIP my dad though. :(
 
I have never thought that you could cure type 2. It is easily managed once you know your stuff. New developments keep coming in so over time I am sure that we may see a world without as many cases of type 2.
 
The results posted on that ADA facebook page are pretty damning or encouraging. Tons of people with good blood sugar following low carb high fat, including type 1.

That many measureable results cant be wrong.

You got it wrong, type 1 and type 2 are not distinguished by when you become a diabetic. This is how you distinguish between type 1 and type 2.

You need glucose to survive but you don't need dietary carbs for this. Sugar is not our only energy source.
