What is diabetes and how does it work?

Yes, you are correct

diabetes type two is the type of diabetes that often occurs later in life. It happens because of the over consumption of sugar and carbs that break down into sugars. When the body is consuming so much sugar at that rate the body cannot produce enough insulin to keep up with the demand

Being overweight can also contribute to a higher risk of developing diabetes type two. Diabetics have a hard time losing weight because they can’t diet appropriately anymore due to the influx of sugar levels being too high or too low. Low blood sugar and high blood sugar can be detrimental

I have read many studies were they did tests on people in Italy where they made them eat a vegan diet and the people who were type two diabetics went into remission and became prediabetic. Those tests do not have any observable conclusions due to lack of testing. I blame the American diet for this mostly

Yes, you can improve your diabetes and go into remission if you lose weight and alter your diet.

It happens because your body does heal itself and also it happens because your body is able to process the decrease of sugar more easily. Sugar/ food is fuel for our body. Everything we eat, even non edible things like plastic or chewing gum (is actually indigestible ) all digest and go into our cells for cellular function which basically Carries out all of our bodily functions. When you’re consuming significant amounts in excess it creates a lot of unnecessary stress on your body because your body is working to break all of this sugar down

My reference is I have a pre nursing associates degree and took human nutrition and anatomy and physiology. I learned about the vegan diet trials though a reputable website called pubmed. It is a govt website that doctors and scientist post their findings and articles to. our college gave us at the time to use for research and I continue using it because it’s extremely interesting

I hope this helps and I hope I didn’t bore you too much haha

Basiclly Type I is your body does not produce insulin. This cannot be reversed. Type II is where you body either doesn't produce enough insulin or doesn't process it properly. This can be reversed.

My friend who has type 1 told me that type 2 diabetes is often caused by insulin resistance and that can be reverted.

type II can be reversed if caught early using a Keto diet. I know 4 older people who did it, takes about 6 weeks if they adhere to the diet. They can gradually introduce more complex carbs into the diet within reason. They were all on Metformin and the diet reversed the condition. One had been on Metformin for years and was still able to reverse it.

I'm a type 3c diabetic. I inject insulin about 8 times a day. My stomach and thighs (injection zones) are a constant bruise. I monitor my blood glucose every hour, I watch (carb count) what I eat. Boring, but I don't want to lose my toes, kinda got attached to them!

I am diabetic. My biggest fear is going blind. I have stage 3a kidney disease too and a very bad right knee. So, with the u.s. healthcare system, as bad as it is to ones like me, I'm fucked. Oh well. Death will be a blessing in disguise

Have type 2 so had to cut right down on carbs, feel so much better, used to get shakes and grumpy when hungry don’t feel like that now, wish i had known how addictive carbs were years ago !!

My grandfather on my mother's side of my family was diabetic.
