Yes.
Type II diabetes can and has been reversed. We recently helped a lady whose starting hg-A1C was 8.9. She was taking metformin. In less than 3 months, her A1C was down to 5.8 and she no longer needed medication.
How?
We helped her do 3 things:
Eliminate added sugar and sweeteners.
Swap refined grains for whole grains.
Increase her fiber and nutrient by swapping processed foods for more vegetables, beans, legumes, nuts and seeds - real, whole food.
Why does this work? It comes from switching to a diet that is low in insulin-spiking food.
As other people have answered, type II diabetes arises from insulin resistance. This is when the body is unable to produce the insulin necessary to remove glucose from the blood. If however, we limit our intake of food that is quickly broken down by the body into glucose (and hence insulin-spiking) we are able to lower blood sugar (as measured by A1C) to a sustained level where medication is no longer necessary.
The hard part is breaking the addiction to sugar (non-trivial, really real, but so worth it for so many reasons and especially if you factor the long-term outcome of T2D), and other refined grains. It’s part education - knowing that added sugar lurks on so many “food-like” products especially those touted as healthy - and part behavioral coaching.
Increasing levels of activity help. It’s all connected. The biggest, most significant thing you can do is cut sugar and refined grains, and eat loads of freshly prepared greens and beans (no store bought dressings, just extra virgin olive oil and a little vinegar). You’ll immediately begin to feel better, which will give rise to more energy, which will increase your desire for activity.
If you need help or would like to discuss further, please don’t hesitate to message me.
