How to cure type 2 diabetes
Jay Wortman, MD, tells the spectacular story of how he got rid of his rampant type 2 diabetes using a simple dietary change. Eight years later he is still free from the disease and needs no medication. Basically he stopped eating the foods that turn to sugar in the gut.
During the last few years several well designed scientific studies has proven that this common sense approach works very well. You can read more about it on Dr. Wortman’s website or use the detailed guidelines here at DietDoctor.com (completely free).
In the video above (filmed during the Baltimore conference this month) dr Wortman also talks about his experience using a very low carb (ketogenic) diet for kids and how his wife used it during pregnancy, very interesting subjects.
I "adore" Jay Wortman, having participated in his blog for quite some time as well as having engaged in some great conversations with him on Huffpo blogs. His comments there are always a breath of fresh ari. It was a treat to see him interviewed in person.
I was giving different advice from my doctor and the ADA so, though I eat a very low carb and very careful diet, I will never be able to control my diabetes with diet alone.
The ADA told me as long as my Blood Sugar, 2 hours after eating, was no higher than 170 I was doing correctly. Naturally my beta cells were destroyed! Because the ADA and most doctors are giving very bad advice to new diabetics.
It took me over 2 years to discover the very low carb diet that works so well for diabetes. The day I was diagnosed with diabetes, I asked my doctor if I could go on a low carb diet and he said he did not believe in low carb diets, so I was on the ADA diet for the first 2 years. I should have listened to my instincts instead of my doctor's advice.
I was using 60 units of insulin per day and I am now down to 20 units and the expectation is to remove insulin injections permanently within one month.
It is and has been very difficult to stay away from carbs, however the urges are lessening as time progresses
I am doing light exercises and walking, however, I am experiencing severe pains in my legs, calves and feet which rapidly subsides ten minutes after exercise.
Is there any advice concerning the removal of these pains (non surgical). I have been diagnosed with PAD.
