I Cured My Type 2 Diabetes | This Morning

GP Dr Michael Mosley was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes four years ago and rather than start on medication - he invented the 5:2 diet - resulting in him losing weight and reversing his diabetes diagnosis. Dr Mosley will be telling us how you can do the same on a similar diet.

I was diagnosed with prediabetes - 114 mg/dl. I stopped eating dinner after 6 pm, nothing at all. Also, I started a 30-minute walk every night. It helped me to get my blood glucose levels to 93 mg/dl. Working to get it to 85.

I told my mom a few years ago about this doctor's success story. My mom was diagnosed with prediabetes -> type 2 diabetes. One day she was not feeling well, presented to A&E and her blood sugar was 12! After that incident, she was adamant to try intermittent fasting. To everyone's surprise, not only she managed to bring her blood glucose back to Normal, her HbA1C now is also at Normal range, plus she is slimmer & much more fit that before. She is 66 y.old this year (around the same age as Dr. Mosely) but she has 10 children and 10 grandchildren! I have not get a chance to say thank you to Dr. Mosely for sharing such method which could improve peoples' health & wellbeing. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Dr. Mosely's wife. Please know that his good work doesn't go unnoticed!

It's not weight loss (though it helps), it's carbohydrate restriction. I reversed my type 2 diabetes well before I lost the weight.

Yep I lost 20 kls and diabetes. Weight is the problem. True video 😊

He was so passionate about health and helping others be aware of their own health and change their habits to improve it and he died in the heat on a walk even younger than the age his father passed away … so so sad and such a great loss

I've read a lot of the research on this subject and he is indeed correct. There have been a few studies but the largest one was based in the UK and it found that when pre-diabetic people lost 10-13% of their body weight something like 80% who maintained the weight loss and lifestyle changes never developed diabetes. They went on to hypothesize that every person has a certain threshold of body fat, particularly around the pancreas and when their body fat rises above that level the pancreas stops working properly and diabetes is the result so by losing enough weight to lower that internal fat below the threshold will cause the pancreas to start working properly again.

A few other studies have shown that exercise after a meal can significantly lower the blood glucose level. In particular, it seem to have a better effect when you waited 20-30 minutes before exercising. Further, it does not have to be a lot of exercise and it was suggested that exercising 3 times a day after each meal for just 10 minutes could have a significant impact. There are several reasons for this but one reason is that muscles can use glucose directly without the need for insulin so if you're exercising and using muscles they will essentially feed on the glucose.

If you combine these to lower your weight and get enough exercise, you should be able to reverse your diabetes.

Diet and sedentary lifestyle play a role, but there is also a genetic component to type 2 diabetes; and even the guy in the video says his father was also a diabetic. I "reversed" the type 2 diabetes; went from A1C 10 to 5.1; cut out all the processed sugar, deep fried food, junk food, etc. I eat less, eat right, and walk two-five miles everyday. Everyone is different though; you have to find the diet that's right for you and the form of exercise that you enjoy. As they say, weight loss helps a lot., as well as finding ways to manage stress; and I went from 225 to 148 pounds. The big thing is the blood sugar/glucose monitor; do it twice a day at least (even if you think you don't have to) so you can see what works and what doesn't; in your own particular case. If you can do keto, or the Mediterranean, or that all-meat diet and live with it for the rest of your life and it's working for you then have at it and good luck eating the same things over and over again; but for me it's simple: chicken, fish and turkey, low on the carbs (and natural carbs such as half an ear of corn on the cob or a small potato), lots of greens, fruits in moderation, no processed sugar, nothing deep fried, very little if any red meat, and no junk food. But monitor the glucose level because everyone's body is different.

It’s not just about weight either. There is also a type 1.5 called lada—it’s autoimmune.

This video really gets the point across. Though no hope for my 44 year old autistic son recently diagnosed Type 2 who is petrified of needles so can't check his sugar, plus demands and consumes lunch meats and cookies and the like. Can't understand at all the need to exercise and eat better so it is sad for me to watch him. I help as I can but can't do nearly enough to make changes. Tomorrow I will start him on metformin.

The heavy weight doesn't happen because of diabetes is caused by the diet that caused the heavy weight.

It is a problem with skinny ppl they don't want to lose weight.

[arpeemac]

I have been underweight for the last 20+ years, currently pre-diabetic and nearing the “diabetic” status.

[martineleven]

Cut out sugar&carbohydrates, stick to a ketogenic/carnivorous way of eating. My missus isn't t2 diabetic anymore, the arthritic pain in my knees has gone . It literally works, keep your natural salt intake up aswell.

[HenryThibodeaux]

Can one Pre d type 2 go on Vegan Vegetarian plus on OMAD to reverse Pre d type 2?

If yes, take how long the time periods ?

The equation result shall be:
OMAD + VEGAN VEGETARIAN
+ how many days or months or years ?
= HBA1c < 5.4

Purpose: to reverse early Pre d type 2
Important point: early Pre d type 2, do not take any kind of medicines or japs at all, so low blood sugar will not happen in this case ?

I wonder what could have become of me if you weren't the one who came to an interval in my life. Thank you for curing my Diabetes naturally Dr Gboya . I immensely appreciate you. ❤..

[UsmanAli-mzzf]

Ive lost all the weight and 67 kgs but cant get rid of diabetes

[judithcervizzi]

But what if you don't need to lose weight?

[vthirteen]

Low carb high fat is the answer! Proven beyond doubt.
