Reversal: Caloric Density, Glycemic Load, and Saturated Fat: Key Players In Diabetes Reversal Dr. Dansinger’s Eating Strategy for Diabetes Reversal Sample Meals My mother has Insulin Dependent Type 2 Diabetes. It was out of control for over 20 years, despite trying various medications, progressing to insulin and then the insulin pump. When she moved in with me she was still out of control, her doctors had little hope of any serious improvement, and she had all sorts of complications. (on oxygen, in a wheelchair, neuropathy, pancreatitis, etc. and on a huge list of medications and her A1C was in the double digits) She weighed 385 lbs. She's now just shy of 200 lbs, off oxygen, walking, going out on her own, down to a handful of medications and her A1C has been 5.7-5.9 for over a year. Her doctor says she doesn't even look like the same person. She won't ever be off insulin now because she didn't make firmer steps early on and her pancreas has shut down, but taking the diabetes "reversal" steps has improved her life so much. I wish the best of luck to you in your quest to get healthier before you reach the point my mom did. It wasn't easy, but so worth it.
