To cure type 2 diabetes naturally is a balancing act, it’s not a race. Always review your medication and goals with your physician or diabetes coach.

Take the time to track what you eat and when you eat. My diabetes reversal coaching packages include a food and glucose tracking app so I can readily monitor, tweak and support everyone. If you are old-school, get a small notepad and just log your information.

You may frequently hear people reversing type 2 diabetes without medication. How is it they can do it and you seem to struggle long term? First, be honest with yourself.

• Are you not taking medication because you are in a “monitoring stage” and have not been prescribed?
• You don’t want to take prescribed medication, however, your high glucose levels tell your doctor another story?
• Are you considering discontinuing your medication for reversing type 2 diabetes without medication?

JAMA Internal Medicine published information for a trial conducted between 2014 and 2015. The question, is self-monitoring blood glucose levels effective for people with non–insulin-treated type 2 diabetes in improving either A1c levels or health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in primary care practice?

I recently wrote about a celebrity who lost his life to diabetes. I’m saddened to say that a young woman at the age of 27 also lost her life to type 1 diabetes. For privacy, I’ll call her KC. KC was not famous, not financially sound, had a difficult life growing up, but had a loving and supportive grandmother who did her best to help KC improve her health.

We don’t talk enough about our feet. For a diabetic, this is especially needed. My uncle lost his leg to diabetes as well as many others I know. I also know many with diabetic neuropathy, which can be improved or eliminated with proper lifestyle changes.

My good friend, Dr. Wilma Hunt-Watts is a podiatric physician. She is all too familiar with foot care and diabetes. You may have heard Dr. Hunt-Watts on Sirius XM radio, spreading the word on foot care. Dr. Hunt-Watts is a surgeon, has cared for our veterans and works in telemedicine.
