How to reverse diabetes? Tricky question.
When I first discovered that I was diabetic, my blood glucose (blood sugar) level was a high 379.
For those who are just learning, that is better than triple the level it should be! Is there a cure for diabetes? Can it be reversed? My answer to both those questions is yes.
After only one week, without the help of medication, I have lowered my blood glucose levels to a much safer 177.
This is still higher than optimal, but it is a great start for just one week.
There is another side to this, it takes true work and commitment.
Look, I have no misconception that I will ever be able to go back and gorge on high-sugar foods and expect all things to be fine and dandy.
Truth be told, this is a lifestyle commitment.
More importantly, this is a golden opportunity to always maintain a healthy lifestyle - is that really a bad trade off to reverse diabetes and control my life? I don't think so.
I believe, like anything in life, we have choices.
How we choose to deal with life's circumstances is what determine the ultimate outcome.
Sure, we could all sit around and feel depressed, but isn't it much more fulfilling to take control and make a change for the better.
What's the trick? No trick - it is all about proper lifestyle.
Watch your carbs and increase your physical activity.
A good active lifestyle will help most of us keep the condition at bay and we will all look and feel better for it.
After all is said and done, we will have that kick butt physique we always wanted, more confidence, and a new outlook on life.
