[quote=Anonymous]What worked for me:

1) Significant dietary changes. I had been a vegetarian for years and it was just too much starch (chains of sugar) for me as I got closer to peri. On an omni diet with a lot of protein my glucose improved.

2) Intermittent fasting, Dr. Jason Fung's Diabesity Code, YT vids, articles at The Fasting Method and his team's podcast by the same name have been hugely helpful. I used to eat frequently and sip coffee with cream all day. Spacing eating, cutting snacks and drinking only water between meals gave insulin time to fall and stay low.

3) Controlling sleep and stress, poor sleep drives hunger and snacking and impacts glucose levels.

4) A CGM gave me data that I could not ignore about how my body reacted to certain foods, to eating in the evening, to lack of exercise or poor sleep. Right now they are prescription only but this summer will be OTC. Even a few weeks can burst the "oh it won't hurt too much" delusion.

5) Walking after meals, even 15 minutes, walking stairs if it is raining. That little bit really helps manage glucose.

Good luck! If you have insurance coverage I'd definitely work with Virta or Level 2, their reversal results are very solid and they provide a lot of support and education.

Good luck! Reversal IS possible and you CAN do it! The link between early diabetes and Alzheimer's was super motivating to me. [/quote]
