"Sugar Queen" here aka Andrew's wife--
I'd like to know if anyone in this group EVER completely reversed
their diabetes. Now I'm not looking for opinions on what you think a
person should do to attempt to reach that goal, I would like to know
if any of you have actually become "no longer a diabetic." I had an MD
say that diabetes is reversible. I'm not sure if that meant curable.
I'm looking for testimonials from actualy people. This is a question
with a "yes" or "no" answer. You were a diabetic and now you are not a
diabetic. Plain and simple. Ok. You are probably thinking "well if
people have had it reversed and became normal then they wouldn't be
here on this group." Ok then. How about...do you know of anyone
personally--friend or relative--who has reversed their diabetes
completely to where their BG is within the normal range (non-diabetic)
no matter what was eaten and no medication was taken and you or
someone has gone on with their merry life and never had to worry about
it ever again--not a temporary thing. I apologize for sounding blunt
or demanding but please just the facts. Opinions are important, but
I'm not asking for opinions, Thanks :)

Exercise seemed to be the key for me.
when I was first diagnosed even a very small amount of carbs would give me
high numbers.
Once I started to exercise I was able to eat much larger amounts of carbs
and have better numbers
even with out medications. if someone were to ask me what is the most
important thing a diabetic can do
when diagnosed.. EXERCISE.

You are right, Tom. Exercise is the single most noticeable lifestyle
change that has helped me to get my numbers down. Continued,
progressive, sweating, grunting, "I hate this, I hate this...hey, I
feel pretty good" exercise. The more the merrier. Not discounting
diet (or meds for those that need them). I think D&E go together
because you need good fuel if you are going to exercise. But exercise
can cover some pretty bad meal choices from time to time.
