Prevent and Reverse Naturally Type 2 Diabetes

Hello and welcome to this book on Ultra-Processed Food and Diabetes.

There is increasing evidence of the impact of Ultra-processed foods on multiple metabolic and neurobiological pathways, including those involved in eating behaviors, both in animals and in humans.[1]

For people on the run, ultra processed food may become their go-to diet, sacrificing nutrition for convenience. While it may be convenient, consuming ultraprocessed ...

Hello and welcome to my book How to Prevent and Reverse Type 2 Diabetes.

This book has been a learning journey. I’ve met diabetics who, after diagnosis, treat it as a medication-managed condition. I’ve always abhorred medication. The human body is amazing, and we can achieve so much in our short lives if we help and respect it. I was determined to lean about my condition, and the Life Style changes to help me manage it and make me m...

This book has been quite a learning journey. From the discovery of Insulin to how the body is designed to maintain homeostasis and what has happened over the past 25 years, I can see how becoming a Type 2 Diabetic was almost inevitable.

Homeostasis depends on active regulation, with dynamic adjustments that keep the environment of your cells and tissues relatively constant. The brain is part of many homeostatic systems, providing si...

Obesity is a complex disease involving having too much body fat. Obesity isn't just a cosmetic concern. It's a medical problem that increases the risk of many other diseases and health problems. These can include heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, liver disease, sleep apnea and certain cancers. 

Here are some key facts from the World Health Organization’s website on worldwide Obesity and Overweight

We all get old. It’s a human thing, our bodies start to degrade and depending on our lifestyle and what has happened to us in life, this may be faster or not. And, yes, it also depends on our genes and our lifestyle.

Human longevity is expanding with each passing decade and yet there are conditions that afflict us that prevent us from gaining full appreciation of the extended life span.

Diabetes is one of the conditions that reduces ...

Celiac Disease is a long-term autoimmune disorder, primarily affecting the small intestine, where individuals develop intolerance to gluten. Gluten is present in foods such as wheat, rye and barley.[1] The impact of this damage is impaired absorption of nutrients from food and drink and can lead to a wide range of collateral symptoms and long-term health complications.

Classic symptoms include gastrointestinal problems such as chro...

Diabetes Distress and Diabetes Burnout represent ongoing emotional and mental challenges in the face of a condition that requires continuous monitoring of blood sugars, food

and drink, exercise, and other life stye challenges.

Caregivers interact with the Diabetic daily and are impacted by the Diabetic’s needs, mood, and emotions.

In most cases, the caregiver is a family member or partner who almost invariably has no medical or prof...

Good Morning and Welcome,

I hope you are well. Diabetes Burn Out is a familiar occurrence to many diabetics. 

It is a state of frustration and disillusionment as a result of being diabetic. Many Diabetes sufferers go through this. My feelings and burn out are not unique to me. Virtually all Diabetics go through Burn out from time to time.

Because Diabetes will be with me for the rest of my life, I have to recognize that:

If you sleep for 8 hours a night, the recommended amount of rest every night, and you stop drinking water 2, or 3 hours before going to bed, you are reducing your water intake 

to only the hours you are awake.

When you stand, gravity keeps water in the lower part of your body, causing swelling in your legs.

When you lie down and the lower part of your body is at the level of the kidneys, the kidneys remove fluids because the body is m...

I use the Free Style Libre 2 CGM from Abbott

It provides information on my Current Blood Glucose level,

the trend, and my time in range.

Blood sugar—Canada—measured in mmol/L or millimoles per litre

CGM Blood Sugar Range — “Green Zone” - 3.9 to 10.0 mmol/L

CGM Blood Sugar Range — “Yellow Zone” - 10.13 to 13.3 mmol/L

CGM Blood Sugar Range — “Red Zone” greater than 13.3 mmol/L

Some medical tests report results in millimoles

In December 2022 I was diagnosed as a Type 2 Diabetic. It took a few weeks of being in a dark place before I

took ownership of my response to the diagnosis. 

My response was to make the Life Style changes that allowed me to be free of medication by November of 2023.

Maintaining the Life Style changes since November has been the next challenge I am dealing with, and will be 

writing and creating books and videos about. For now, let’s co...

Focused meditation is a lot easier than some other forms, especially if you use a concrete physical object to focus on. 

You can use this object as an anchor, drawing you back into the present moment even as your thoughts try to pull you away.

This method of meditation is open-ended in the sense that there is no prescribed posture or object of focus. You can adapt it to meet your own needs. This meditation can be done in a variety o...

Visualization and Activity Meditation can work together to form an extremely positive and effective combination.

Earlier we spoke about visualization and activity meditation in terms of lager physical activity such as walking the dog, cycling, or running etc.

But there are smaller things that work well together.

When I visualized being medication free that meant going from 2,000mg of Metformin, 4 x 500mg pills a day to Zero. That i...

In my previous videos I spoke about the many different forms of meditation. The most valuable to me has been visualization meditation.

I used visualization as part of the process of setting, and reinforcing my goal to be medication free.

All types of goals are best achieved if broken into smaller goals that are more easily achieved.

I have a pill cutter and crusher that I purchased from a local pharmacy. I bought it when I had to trea...

Visualization can be greatly helped by including memories of places and events that have happened to us.

Wednesday evening as I was drifting off to sleep, by an open window and there was a rain storm outside. 

I listened to the heavy rain falling on the trees outside, the roof, and how animals were experiencing the storm.

Cool breezes came in through the open window.

Thursday, it rained again but not so hard, and last night, Saturday...

Visualization and Movement mediation can be greatly enhanced by correct instruction on how to carry out your chosen activity and having the correct equipment and supplies

An instructor can show you the most efficient, effective, and safest way of participating in your chosen motion.

For example, walking. We all know how to walk, place one foot in-front of the other, right? But a gait analysis and purchasing shoes to support and hel...

This was the second form of meditation I employed to remove negativity after my diagnosis. I use it today as do many professional athletes.

Visualize positive outcomes. Professional athletes visual success and effective execution of their skills.

I used it to visualize becoming medication free. Pills could be cut in half, and two pulls could be one then a half.

Finally there would be no pills at all.

For books, courses, remote Reiki se...

Visualization and Movement mediation can come together in a very positive way.

On the lake there is a group of canoeists, if you listen, the instructor is giving direction but also visualization of what participants will be doing.

Instructions are a great help to Visualization. They create boundaries for movement,

expectations, and a formula for executing movement.

As a spinning instructor, an event such as the Tour de France, a 21-...
