It's all about dietary change. Twenty years ago, when you bought a brand sparkly new VCR machine, you would also get a thick instruction manual. Read the detailed setup procedures and troubleshooting guides thoroughly before you start, the [manufacturer](https://www.google.com/search?q=manufacturer&btnI=lucky) would implore. Most of us ignored the manual, just plugged it in and tried to figure out the rest. That’s why we all had the blinking 12:00 on. Today, most new electronics now come with a quick start guide which has the most basic 4 or 5 steps to get your machine working and then anything else you needed, you could reference the detailed instruction manual. Instruction manuals are just so much more useful this way. Well, I don’t know much about VCRs, but I do know about type 2 diabetes. I could write an entire book about obesity (oh, wait, I did that already), or fasting (oh, wait, done too) or type 2 diabetes. But many of you will not want to go through the entire instruction manual.

So this is your quick start guide for reversing your type 2 diabetes. Most doctors, dietitians and diabetes specialists claim that type 2 diabetes is a chronic and progressive disease. Once you get the diagnosis, it’s a life sentence. But, it’s actually a great big lie. Type 2 diabetes is almost always reversible and this is almost ridiculously easy to prove. This is great news for the more than 50% of American adults who have been diagnosed with pre-diabetes or diabetes. Recognizing this truth is the crucial first step in reversing your diabetes or pre-diabetes. Actually, it something that most people already instinctively recognized to be true. Suppose your friend is diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, then works hard to lose 50 pounds. He takes himself off all his medications and his blood sugars are now normal. What would you say to him? Probably something like "Great job. You’re really taking care of yourself. Keep it up!" What you wouldn’t say is something like "You’re such a dirty, filthy liar.

My doctor says this is a chronic and progressive disease so you must be lying ". It seems perfectly obvious that diabetes reversed because your friend lost all that weight. And that’s the point. The disease is reversible. Dr. Fung’s Newsletter is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber. We’ve known all this along. But only diet and lifestyle changes will reverse it. NOT medications. The most important thing, of course, is to lose weight. But the older diabetes medications don’t do this. Quite the contrary. Insulin, for example is notorious for causing weight gain. Patients intuitively sense that they are heading down the wrong path. They would often say to me, "Doctor. You’ve always said that weight loss is the key to reversing diabetes. Yet you prescribed me a drug that made me gain 25 pounds. How is that good? " I never had a good answer, because none existed.

The truth was that insulin was not good for type 2 diabetes - it was only good for reducing [GlycoCares Blood Sugar Guidedaily blood sugar support](http://cqyanxue.net/home.php?mod=space&uid=957802&do=profile) glucose. The key was weight loss, whereupon the diabetes often goes away or at least gets significantly better. So, logically, insulin does not help reverse the disease, but actually worsens it. Other medications such as metformin or the DPP4 drug class are weight neutral. While this won’t make things worse, they won’t make things better either. Since weight loss is the key to reversing type 2 diabetes, medications won’t make things better. Medications make blood sugars (the symptom) better, but not the diabetes (the actual disease). We’ve been pretending that the symptom is the disease.We can pretend the disease is better, but that doesn’t make it true. That’s the reason most doctors think type 2 diabetes a chronic and progressive disease. We’ve been using the wrong treatment. We’ve been prescribing drugs for a dietary disease.
