Type 2 Diabetics come on in! Natural remedies..
I've been on a mission since November of last year when I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and Hypertension to 1.) get off the pharmaceuticals I was prescribed, and 2.) reverse both diagnoses naturally.

Based on my research and using myself as a Guinea pig, I have learned that most people with type 2 diabetes are deficient in vitamins and minerals. This deficiency creates inflammation which leads to metabolic syndrome which causes type 2 diabetes and its associated complications.

I've been using the following in place of pharmaceuticals to treat type 2, and it has been working wonderfully for me.

I have been off all medications since March. Here's how.

1. Vanadium (400mcg), Chromium (500mcg), Zinc (600mcg): Taking these before your two largest meals helps manage blood sugar spikes and fasting glucose levels.

2. Berberine (1200mg): Considered as effective for treating type 2 symptoms as metformin, this is a natural compound that helps lower and manage blood sugar spikes when taken before meals. But it takes about 3 months before it starts working.

3. Magnesium (400mg): If your feet are swelling -- a complication of type 2 that can be deadly -- taking magnesium daily will reverse this, almost immediately. If you stop taking it, your feet will start swelling again in a couple of days.

4. Lactobacillus Reuteri (400mg): This is a probiotic that helps restore the beneficial bacteria in your gut which improves cardiovascular health. Since taking it my fasting glucose levels have been below 100 (non-diabetic!) every day.

5. Hibiscus flower tea: This tea has highly anti-inflammatory properties and lowers blood pressure. I make this tea with 100% monk fruit sweetener and a pinch of salt. It's delicious. I also chill and carbonate it with my Drinkmate.

6. Matcha tea: I found that coffee spikes my blood sugar, so I had to ditch it. I have substituted this tea in its place. Matcha has 70mg of caffeine, but because of its anti-inflammatory properties, it combats the inflammation that caffeine introduces. It's perfect for that bump of energy without the negative effects of coffee. I make it with mint powder, cylon cinnamon, and monk fruit sweetener. It's delicious.

I also take a daily multi-vitamin, benfotiamine, b-complex and fish oil.

I hope this info helps those of you who are dealing with the same issue. About 1/3rd of Americans are either diabetic or pre-diabetic because of the soft-kill poisons "they" have been putting in our food. What I've found to help me manage my situation may be useful for those who don't have type 2, also.

Good luck and stay healthy!

Dr. Eric Berg has videos on how to counteract Type 2 diabetes. I ain't saying he has the majic pill/potion but he certainly has a good idea what the cure is. Personally, I think a well balanced KETO diet is a super way to calm down the diabetes. But, I like your approach of doing your own research. Here is something to think about......200-300 years ago, do you think those folks had all the diseases we have today? Probably not, but I just cannot see a whole bunch of folks walking around back in the day with diabetes. I believe diabetes is a modern day ailement made worse by a reliance upon Big Pharma drugs. Get off the Big Pharma drugs and get on a good diet and I bet the diabetes will deminish.

100% agree. I have made diet changes too and have a near keto diet most of the time, but I do stray away from time to time to test the remedies I've discovered. So far, the probiotic has been the most effective of all of them (though, it's probably the combination).

It is caused by dietary fat. This has been known for decades. Anyone reading this can easily verify this by following one of many protocols free one the Web. DYOR.

Fat stops insulin from its job of sugar metabolism. Sugar thus builds up in the blood. Sugar gets the blame.

Nope.

Removing carbs and sugar is 100% effective. I know from personal experience that my blood sugar spikes precisely due to carbs & sugar. Days when I eat only protein and fat with vegetables, there is no significant spike.

You're probably a climate tard and a liberal.

Animal fat which used to be in our foods, stopped humans eating, or over eating. It tells your brain your full up.

Once they took animal fat out of foods, and milk, it was the major reason for obesity epidemic in west.

Disproving that animal fat is bad for you, no its good for you, as it helps your body become full, ie signal to the brain to stop you eating.

Its why obesity is only past few decades, of when they got rid of animal fat in milk mainly, as milk is such an important food for humans, and is in so many things.

People over eat, as the foods they eat simply do not have the animal fat in them, so your body signals the brain that your body is full.

Op, you have to take what i said, and work with it.

I'm a carnivore and losing weight fast. I eat once or twice a day, and off statins, and omeprazole(heartburn med). Next is hopefully BP med. On BP meds I averaged 140s over 90s. I now average 110s over 70s. This was after just 5 weeks.

Carbs kill.

So does big pharma.

I had to take the plunge and trust myself and my body. No one else will, and doctors generally take one small course in nutrition.

I read enough diabetic success stories how this works, and didn't care to become one.

Yep! I have been doing this but cheat from time to time to test the remedies I've been applying.

With the probiotic I mentioned, the insulin spikes are much slower and lower when I do allow myself to have carbs. I had a couple of egg rolls yesterday (30 grams of carbs + fried) and I did experience a spike to 180 two hours later, but it's less than normal which would have been near 200. Today, my fasting glucose was under 100 -- normally between 120 and 140 after eating carbs the day prior.

Gut biome health is really important.

I think I had covid in mid February of 2020. Never got tested for that, but I did get tested in the hospital in November and the results came back negative.

The test is BS, though. If you "had covid" but had no symptoms, you weren't sick with anything.

We evolved over a couple hundred thousand years with animal fat and protein being the largest part of our diet.

My ancestors arrived in Africa 150 years ago and lived and travelled in ox-wagons
In camp there was a three-legged pot on the coals 24/7 constantly being replenished with freshly hunted game meat, fruit and vegetables were impossible to come by.
The congealed meat and fat would be had for breakfast from the cold pot, still delicious, and this was the staple diet for about 50 years.

A raw food diet will completely reverse diabetes type 2.

There is a great documentary about it. They took 15 diabetics and fed them raw food and they all reversed diabetes and complications from diabetes, including high blood pressure.

If you don’t want to go that drastic, lots of other people lost weight and got off diabetes meds by chamginf their diets: no white foods (no bread, corn, flour, sugar, etc…)

Diabetic? Alpha-lipoic acid
Began taking 600 mg. Alpha-lipoic acid 1 per day for Neuropathy or "Hot Foot" which was keeping me awake at night.

Not only has the Neuropathy been cut in half, but seems to be gradually fading even further.

As an added surprise, I am finding my blood sugar to be dangerously low as I continue my regular routine when it would normally be about 125 or so, and 125 now after I eat. I may have to stop taking one or more Diabetic medications to compensate or...I guess...just keep enjoying a guilt-free sugar binge.

Thought you all might like to know if you haven't discovered this wonderful supplement on your own.

I also dramatically reduced his glutton intake, and he is now bellow 5.5 average blood sugar count.

The Vanadium, home cooked garden picked meals and lower glucose intake seemed to have tipped the scale to better health.

All this info was found here a few years ago and from that post I followed that advice and it has worked extremely well for my 89 year old father.

obesity itself causes inflammation

chronic inflammation exhausts the inflammatory response itself. exhausting of the inflammatory response is what 'metabolic syndrome' is,
