How to reverse type 2 diabetes – the video course!
Here’s a real treat, something we’re very proud of. The first part in the series How to Reverse Diabetes Type 2, our new video course with Dr. Jason Fung.
Can type 2 diabetes be reversed? Sure – it’s a completely reversible disease. But amazingly it’s usually treated as if it is a chronic disease that should get worse with time – with insulin and other drugs for life.
The result? Short term complications (like further weight gain) and long term complications (like amputations and dialysis). Misery.
There is a better way. The disease can be reversed with a proper dietary change. There’s already lots of free information at Diet Doctor on how to do it. But in this video guide we make it as simple as possible – even entertaining – to quickly learn everything you need.

Search Google for "Valter Longo" and his "Fasting Mimicking Diet." I'd also suggest searching for his interview with Ari Whitten and listen/read about the Fasting Mimicking Diet and their views on "Nutritional Ketosis" diets.
Good luck.

I'm sorry, that does sound frustrating. You may wish to try a reset using our two week challenge. If your A1C has gone up that much, something is definitely going on. Please work with your doctor to see if you need to adjust the dosage of any of your medication.

If a diabetic patient just done his angioplasty, while taking his angio and diabetes medication, can he start this IDM?
Sally, please check with your medical provider regarding questions about your medication.
My name is Tina, I only weight 110 lbs, and 5.4 ft tall, and I am on metformin(500mg) 2x/day for maybe 2 years at the most. My latest a1c was 8.4 from 7.5, and my doctor added 1 more medication to help lower a1c. Do you think, I will be able to take off medication completely and go on natural diet?. I know that I am too thin to loose weight, but I don't want to continue to take medication. Do you have any advice? Please help, and thank you. Tina

1 month ago I started doing daily 20/4 fasts. I feel full of energy and 3 weeks into doing it I noticed my blood sugars around the mid 4's- 5's before food. Also my morning blood sugars that used to be around 10 are now at 6.5-7.
My question is this. I am on 3 types of meds, glicklazide, metformin and Forxiga. Which ones and how do I cut them? My doctor has no time for fasting. She simply wants to control my sugars.
I am determined to get off these pills or at least significantly reduce them, but which ones to reduce? I know some of the drugs make my pancreas create more insulin, should I reduce this first?
Btw in one month I have lost 10 lbs and feel more energy than ever before.
Please respond, I am in AB Canada.
