Type 2 diabetes we are told is a complex condition … but thankfully the treatment of it is in your hands. The starting point for reversing type 2 is to stop and think before you grab a bite of food to eat. After all food is your body’s fuel and for years you didn’t really think about carbohydrates, protein or fat … it just all went into your mouth and down into your stomach and sort of dispersed itself to wherever it was needed.

That was great when everything was working fine. But now insulin is knocking on cell doors and doors won’t open, insulin is swimming around in your bloodstream along with the glucose, or sugar, that it can’t transport into your cells. Your blood sugar levels are high and maybe all over the place. How do you know this Well, you will find yourself:

• feeling tired, really fatigued for no apparent reason. This is because sugar is remaining in your bloodstream and is not entering your cells where it is needed for energy. Also many essential nutrients are being lost through excessive urination
• with dry itchy skin
• urinating frequently, even during the night. This is because your body is trying to get rid of the excess sugar through your kidneys
• feeling constantly thirsty due to losing so much water through your urine
• with blurred vision or some other change in your eyesight
• experiencing excessive hunger even shortly after eating a meal. This is because your body runs short of insulin at cellular level as it remains in your bloodstream. And blood sugar swings following eating sugary foods and refined carbohydrates triggers more hunger bouts
• having difficulty concentrating and maybe a headache

When your blood sugars are too high there will usually be two or more of the above symptoms. And when you check your blood sugar levels they will show over 180 mg/dl (10 mmol/l) … this is the level the American Diabetes Association advises you to be under one to two hours following a meal.

Type 2 diabetes is controllable … so what is your attitude towards your health Are you going to make variations to your eating plan so you rarely experience any of the above due to high blood sugar levels
