Pretty convinced the medical establishment has no interest in eliminating Type 2 Diabetes, it’s a cash cow for them!
According to the NIH [niddk.nih.gov], an A1C test result can be +/- .5%. A 6.5% can be anywhere between 6 and 7. It’s like with blood glucose meters, where +/- 15% of actual is considered “accurate.” I suppose if your #T2D is out of control, those variances don’t matter much. For those of us trying to get better, it’s annoying.
If Type 2 Diabetes is a disease of insulin resistance, which can only happen because we have too much, how do treatments reduce insulin? They don’t. Worse: insulin is prescribed at later stages of Type 2 Diabetes. Isn’t that like giving an alcoholic more alcohol?
The only thing I know that doesn’t increase insulin: fasting. It’s like a detox from insulin. Wonder how come doctors generally don’t suggest fasting as a treatment? It costs nothing to try it.
Not saying everyone with Type 2 Diabetes will benefit from fasting. And I’m definitely not a doctor. Do your own research.
