What happened? We sustained the results. We sustained the results. I mean this is very exciting. So we reversed type 2 diabetes and we were able to keep people in reversal. We went from 60% at two years to 54%. Over half of the people in the trial maintaining diabetes reversal.

That’s huge. Just for one moment imagine that was a drug. Right? Do we need another drug? Come on, we need food, we need proper food. It works. And the medication reductions… They are staying incredibly robust. So these are people who are maintaining a lower A1c and still staying off drugs.

And I’ve got to tell you something so exciting, and that is in the last six months… so this is three years after these people started, I have taken three people who have a diabetes duration of 15 to 20 years off insulin. Three years.

Thank you, Dr. Hallberg, for your invaluable information and encouragement. I've watched your Diet Dr videos over and over and over again. My family and I started low carb (Keto) last January. I've been a diagnosed diabetic for 20 years. My a1c was in the 7 to 8 range at that time. Previously it was as high as 12.5. Today it measures at 5.9! I can't thank you enough!

Wow! I found your video Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) reversal very informative. It is encouraging for person living under the type 2 diabetes. I intend to try the low carb formula to reverse my current condition but what really do you mean my taking in more fat? My little understanding is fat is never too good for the our blood vessels in that it narrows them and could lead to excess pressure on the heart lead heart attacks. How do you guide further of fat intake doctor?

30 plus years diabetic. 7 weeks ago I was so close yo death. My blood sugsr levels were never below 600. I Got serious praying to Jesus for the cure. I was about to have feet and hands cut off. Borderline heart attack and stroke. In 2 days the holy spirit led me strait to Dr Sara Ted Talk. I started the diet that day.
I am still on half the dose of metformin. And thats only me I still take. I calculate within 3 weeks I will be off metformin for good. My health is 20 years back im 62. Blood sugar levels dropping considerably. From 700 plus now my highest was 271 I cheated the diet that day. No more im 175 high 140 low cut metformin in half. Im seriously getting full on this diet no slip up. This has saved my life. No question about it. Thank you im praying for your safety Dr Sara Hallberg. And for your family and your patients. And for your continued cure for this deadly disease. Hob bless you and thank you.
