Type 2 Diabetes is a chronic and progressive disease that kills many americans every single day.  If you are a diabetic, your chances of suffering life altering health side effects including a heart attack, stroke, and even limb amputations from the disease are extremely high.

Most concerning however is the estimation that diabetes is likely to decrease your lifespan by a full 10 years.  That’s a full decade of life lost for every diabetic.

But does this really have to be the case?  If you are a diabetic can you improve your disease to the point where your chances of negative side effects disappear?  Can you reverse the disease process altogether?  Throw away all those medications and live life as a former diabetic?

Can Type 2 Diabetes be reversed?

The answer for many Type 2 Diabetics is a resounding YES.  Diabetes is a reversible condition for many.

Many diabetics have the ability to decrease their needs for medications, lower and stabilize blood sugars, and potentially reverse the disease all together enjoying blood sugars under 126 without the dependence on medications.

This has been shown to be possible through recent human medical studies as well as real life diabetics.  Even one of the most trusted and researched medical websites WEDMD, agrees that Type 2 Diabetes is reversible for many diabetics.

But then why are so many diabetics going in the opposite direction?  If Type 2 Diabetes is reversible why are so many needing more and more medications, suffering from higher and higher blood sugars until they are eventually put on insulin as a last resort?

The answer lies in this simple fact.  Conventional drug treatment does not lead to reversing diabetes.  In fact, it is not even the primary objective.  Drugs are intended to suppress your blood sugars artificially and manage the disease.  But by definition they do not and cannot reverse the disease of Type 2 Diabetes.  Therefore, all of you that are using drugs only as your primary treatment for your diabetes are not even moving one inch closer to reversing the disease.

The sad diabetic reality.

Let me explain.  The average Type II Diabetic in America today tells a version of the same story.  One day they visited their medical doctor because they weren’t feeling well, or for a routine check up.  The doctor performed some basic laboratory work and comes back into the room and gives them the bad news.

“I’m sorry but you are a Type 2 Diabetic.  Take this medication and come back in 3 months.  Oh, and lose weight and eat better.”

And out the door they go.

No evaluation is done as to what might have caused or is creating the diabetes.  No assessment of why you became a diabetic at all.  You are simply sent packing with your first drug.

As the months go by many find that their blood sugars start to creep up, prompting the doctor to prescribe more and more medication.  Blood pressure medication, cholesterol medications, and eventually if your disease progresses enough… Insulin.

As the disease continues many find it difficult to control their weight, and as the disease progresses diabetic side effects and complications become almost inevitable.

And the worst part….. All of this is avoidable in many instances.  You can lower and stabilize blood sugar, lower your blood pressure and cholesterol, decrease your needs for medications, and reverse Type 2 Diabetes altogether in many cases by treating the actual cause of Type 2 Diabetes which is a condition called Insulin Resistance.

What actually causes Type 2 Diabetes?

Insulin Resistance is the cause of Type 2 Diabetes.

Type 2 Diabetes is reversible, because you can improve insulin resistance.  Unfortunately, most diabetics ONLY use medications for their condition and never seek treatment to improve the actual cause of the disease.

So where to turn?  What kind of treatment options are there out there for Type 2 Diabetics that focus on reversal instead of medications?
