I would be extremely wary of any 'quick fix' methods, they are almost inevitably scams and quack remedies. If it was that easy then diabetes wouldn't be such a global problem! 🙄
The only way to get things under control (I don't like the 'reverse' or 'cure' words - you simply learn how to control things, not eradicate them) is to learn about your diet and the foods you tolerate well, and in what quantities, and exercise frequently to help keep you fit and healthy 🙂
I met a man who, thrice a week
Ate seven pickled eggs…
Another man I came across
Smeared treacle on his legs!
And yet another squeezed the leaves
Of Himalayan plants,
Then quite obscurely poured the juice
Into his underpants!
When asked what led them to perform
These strange and worrying acts,
They paused, and with a knowing wink
Apprised me of the facts:
It’s well known on the world wide web
That, for a pound or two,
Enlightened gurus will divulge
A means to cure you!
But, as we are all different,
With wealth and needs diverse,
A tailored cure must be devised
That suits your tastes (and purse!)
‘For me, eggs steeped in vinegar –
As long as it is pure –
Will neutralise sugar in my blood,
And thus provide the cure!’
‘An egg cure wasn’t right for me,
But treacle smeared just so
Will draw the glucose from my blood,
And keep my levels low!’
‘And you?’ I asked the man in pants,
‘Your cure’s the strangest yet!’
‘Indeed! My pants, the guru claimed,
Must be forever wet!
But not just any liquid goo
Would fix my pancreas,
But only that extruded from
Expensive mountain grass!’
And with these words I took my leave
And slowly backed away,
For I was sure there is no cure
However much you pay! 😉
