![]() ![]() Long term goals to maintain to keep type 2 diabetes at bay? Sit less. If the patient is determined to get well and understands the long-term dangers associated with medical treatments (read about these here), the solution can be sought out with whatever emotional support may be needed to maintain the dietary changes. The second thin patient who has type 2 diabetes had a genetic predisposition to the disease and then she fits the profile that many of the rest of us with autoimmune diseases have: she has leaky gut (intestinal permeability), stress, inflammation, and environmental triggers are present. In other words, she still struggles with many of the same causes, even if she doesn’t overeat or overeat as much as an obese patient. The first person, while not overweight, still has an unhealthy diet, perhaps poor sleep, perhaps sits too much. There are two categories of patients who are not overweight but who still have this autoimmune disease. You might be saying, I know person ABC who is thin and she has type 2 diabetes. Although eating disorders like bulimia and anorexia have gotten more coverage, chronic overeating is also an eating disorder. Caused largely by poor diet, sitting too much, not enough exercise, not enough sleep, over-eating and an imbalance of nutrients, it’s hard for patients to turn off and change the very behavior that’s caused their illness.

What about type 1.5 diabetes, (which is late onset type 1 and autoimmune in nature) can it be helped with diet and lifestyle? The answer is Yes. Multiple studies ( here, here and here) have shown that a Paleo diet, rich in pasture-raised meats, vegetables, nuts and seeds, fruits and starchy roots like cassava and sweet potato, is an effective approach for diabetes and other metabolic disorders. ![]() They do not know safe alternatives and doubt that safe alternatives exist. While many with type 2 diabetes may choose to continue using insulin as well as making lifestyle and supplement amendments, insulin dependence is what most medical doctors are educated to recommend. I won’t go into the corruption that drives the medical field, but it’s time medical doctors stop doubting the power of diet and supplements to help the body heal. But medical peer reviewed studies say just the opposite: “Medical doctors are therefore encouraged to incorporate dietary supplements into the regimen employed for … diabetes management.” ( source) Most medical sites don’t recommend natural supplements as a means of controlling or reversing type 2 diabetes.
