How to cure type 2 diabetes
in 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.
I’ll take remission any day!
As you are on medication, please work with your doctor to adjust dosage as necessary.

It could be related to diabetes, not due to your back. In this case, controlling your blood sugar with keto/lchf will help with the healing.

I just had an A1c test that rated 8.8 more than a month ago. This was a wake up call for me. I had not been able to get myself off the delicious carbs no matter how hard I tried. Well I finally did it and have been checking my blood sugar daily which has gone from a fasting morning 200mg and after eating 300mg to a much lowered blood sugar of fasting/morning 115mg and after eating 130mg. Normal blood sugar is 70-100mg. My doctor had upped my dose of metformin from 1000mg to 2000mg. It's hard to understand who to trust cause, even though my doctor is a naturopath, she is prescribing a pharmaceutical drug which she says works better for diabetes than any herb. Well I kept trying to cut the dosage of metformin down on my own despite her objections. At 1500mg I still felt good and that not alot was different. Then I tried to go even lower to 1000mg. As soon as I did this, I got alot of symptoms that suggested neuropathy (sharp pains, tingling, and numbness in feet, legs, and fingers). This freaked me out and turned into another wake up call and I started taking the doctor's suggested dosage of 2000mg again which did help the symptoms but not completely. Now I think of developed neuropathy. I loathe to take prescription drugs and wish there was an herbal way to truly heal my body. I just hope the metformin doesn't somehow cause neuropathy....Any advice or suggestions would be helpful. Thanks for reading this!
It sounds like you are making good progress! I would definitely recommend continuing to work with your doctor on this. Sometimes, medicine is necessary while we heal our body from previous.
