- π‘ Clinical evidence demonstrates that type 2 diabetes can be reversed in as little as 90 days through lifestyle and nutritional counseling, without medication.
- π A study showed 11 women with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes, with an average A1C of 8.9%, reduced their A1C to 5.6% within 90 days, achieving non-diabetic levels.
Key Dietary Principles
- π Control carbohydrates by eating whole fruits and vegetables liberally, while being mindful of sugary tropical fruits and starchy root vegetables, especially for type 2 diabetics.
- πͺ Prioritize protein intake, as it is crucial for muscle protein synthesis and overall health.
- π₯ Don't fear fat that naturally accompanies protein, as consuming fat with protein can enhance protein digestion and increase anabolic effects, leading to greater muscle protein synthesis.
Optimizing Meal Timing and Exercise
- β° Aim to stack the bulk of your daily calories earlier in the day, tapering off food intake towards the evening.
- π« Avoid eating within a 3 to 4-hour window before bedtime to support metabolic health.
- πΆββοΈ Engage in 10 to 15 minutes of physical activity after your biggest meal to significantly blunt post-meal glucose spikes by up to 50% or more.
- ποΈ The best exercise is the one you will consistently do, whether it's high-intensity training or a simple walk.
Effective Supplements for Blood Sugar Control
- β Several supplements, including berberine and apple cider vinegar (ACV), have demonstrated efficacy in improving insulin sensitivity.
- π Apple cider vinegar is particularly recommended due to its compelling evidence and accessibility, working by reducing hepatic gluconeogenesis and stimulating GLUT4 translocation in muscles.
- π½οΈ Taking a couple of tablespoons of ACV before your most starchy meal can significantly lower the post-meal glucose curve.
