Agreed! There's no reversing the biology of diabetes
Yes, There's no reversing the biology of diabetes!!
Only reversing the symptoms (or the high glucose readings)!
I have personally researched this specific question the last couple of years.
The answer is that in T2 D, the fast insulin response is lost because of the destruction of a good portion of cells in the pancreas.
T2 diabetics have lost the 'fast' insulin response, and just have a 'slow' response of insulin release, which means there's usually a spike (increase) in glucose, by the time the 'slow' insulin response kicks in and insulin is eventually released.
So there are a few good points to be made here.
-The biology of T2 D cannot be reversed !! (although some people claim gymnea sylvestre rejuvinates beta cells ( scant evidence though!!)
-Because people loosely use the term, what they usually mean is that the symptoms of diabetes (the most obvious being high blood glucose) can infact be reversed.
-People do infact take advantage of the confusion here (of reversal of the biology of diabetes/damage to the pancreas versus reversal of high blood sugar)
-Most people do not have a science degree and lay people are often communicated to in the most basic terms, such as, 'reverse your diabetes, really meaning, 'lower your lood glucose'.
-Finally, and most importantly, it must be clarified in the general www that diabetes (the disease/condition) cannot be cured/reversed at the level of the damage of the pancreas. Some people prey on this false hope and try to promote (scam) various products which results in people being led to think 'great, then I'll reverse, and cure my diabetes !'. No, the reversal just means, they can lower their blood gucose.
The book I have recommended here is by Dr Sandra Cabot, a medical doctor, who promotes alternative therapies. Justice to her, she 'cuts to the chase' and tells is as it is in this book, and really does demonstrate how to revesre T2 diabetes (lower blood sugar of course!!!!!). I am happy that her audience would be lay people, and she is being direct here on how to lower blood glucose.
Sorry about the confusion🙂
