Diabetes Type 2 Support Group

Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not make efficient use of it. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert food into glucose, a sugar that the body uses for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose can accumulate in the blood, and can cause serious health problems such as heart disease and strokes and organ damage...

Sorry no one has responded. They did a big change on this web site and it has lost quite a few members. I have been diabetic for about a year so don't have a lot of advice. I have joined a couple of Facebook groups: Reversing Diabetes and Low Carb Eating. The members seem to be doing quite well. There are other groups on Facebook, just put diabetes in the search field. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. ((Hugs))

Go to The American Diabetes Association website. They have recipes, information, and an online
forum to talk to others. You can also go to the library to get cookbooks with recipes for diabetics.

If interested, give a below 4 steps a try. You loose nothing by trying but it may change your life. Don’t change your life style and the food you eat but simply follow the eating habit.

1. eat when you are hungry
2. don’t drink liquid 30 mins before and after and during the meal
3. chew the food 25 times or more.
4. stop eating the food after 1st Burp

Assessment: Measure your glucose one day and then follow the above 4 steps till next day and measure your glucose. You would see significant reduction in your glucose without any change in food. If you follow them for a month or two, it will keep improve your diabetic levels and most probably could able to cure type II diabetics gradually.
