Diabetes cure?

The link doesn't seem to work

 

The link was cropped somehow.

Let's see if this works better.

Wow.
Dangerous stuff.
There are three types of diabetes, Type 1, Type 2, and insipidus.
Of the three, there is a possibility that some people with type 2 "could" be relatively well controlled by diet. But the reality is that its caused by bad lifestyle choices in the first place. Diabetes does not exist in primitive "rice and vegetable" cultures.

Diabetes per se cannot be cured. For a type 1 to stop taking insulin is a death sentence. They would last a few days, thats all.

That is a highly irresponsible marketing video. I'l wait with interest for the legal actions to start once diabetics start becoming brain damaged and dying as a result of this "advice".

 

Type 1 can be cured. However, not on everyone that is type 1. I have a very close friend who, after years of being stupid with his health, got diabetes, was in the hospital, lost over half his bodyweight, lost his eyesight, and is on dialysis 3 times a week. However, about 2 years ago, he was having problems, and his Dr. noted that his body had started to make insulin again. 3 months into realizing that, my friend never had to take another insulin shot. It's been around 2 years now.

So, although there isn't an actual cure for diabetes, it can end up being cured. Or, if you prefer, we can just say that it went into remission.

 

From your description, your friend had Type 2, not Type 1.
Type 1 is also known as 'juvenile onset diabetes', it strikes often in teens and 20s, and the pancreas just fails to work anymore.
Its common for Type 2s to resort to insulin when their sugar control is bad. But it isn't the same as true insulin-dependant diabetes. Its simply that their dietary choices are so crap that no amount of tablets can counteract the damage they are doing.

Telling people that their diabetes can be cured, or "go into remission" is downright dangerous.

Just an ol RN, 25 years in the trade . . . . . .

 

Ahhhhh, okie doke. The Dr. never explained that to my friend, and I'll be the first to say I've never looked it up to find out the causes behind him not needing the needle anymore. Thanks for the info.

 

I watched a special on nbc dateline i believe. That surgery cure 89% of people. Further studies are concluding the reason this happens is because short intenstine is cut and sealed. In Lab testing mice with diabetes were cured with small intestine being shut off. So who knows thinking about having that surgery for that reason alone.
