Newly diagnosed: Can diabetes be reversed with diet & exercise?

you need to start on metformin. It's cheap and may help your A1c from climbing, it's too high. You can always stop later. It will take too long to lose 80 pounds, you don't want your A1c going any higher.

But won't A1C go down within a month if you stop eating sugar?

I suppose if you could stick to a zero carbohydrate diet it would come down but I can't imagine following that kind of diet

I was newly diagnosed as well with 6.8 A1C.  My doctor put me on Metformin.  I have to modify my diet, but I am allowed up to 45 carbs per meal.  From everything I have read, diabetes can not be reversed.  It can go into remission and you live a healthy life though. 

This is a new year I wanted to give this product a chance so far so good  my energy has crazy where I use to feel drained I go to the Gym daily now Halki Remedy is a protocol to level your sugar levels again, in addition to returning your energy and vitality based on natural [link removed]

hi i am in a weird stage of diabetes where I'm not quite type one but not type two either. was hospitalized with an A1c of 13.5 in october.... by december i got it down to 7.5..... by February I'm down to 6.9.... i only take 500mg of metformin twice a day, and even then my doctor said if I'm still doing well by my next visit in march i will be off of it. i am managing my diabetes with only following a keto based diet, and even then some days i cheat. there are a lot of nutritionists who support diabetics following low carb diets and every year more data is coming out showing a proper low carb diet is reducing many patients need for insulin.

@Jeanette45 It also helps to make sure your emotions are controlled being that glucose levels can rise due to anger and it is normal to feel anxious its just a matter of time until you are able to adjust and live normally like before. Meat is a good thing to eat because it has no carbs which is mainly why our sugar goes up. A well balanced meal and you'll be fine but steer away from dairy and bread and potatoes and some fruits. Hope this helps! You got this🙂

Just a reminder to all that before making any changes to your diet or medical care, it's important to consult your primary care doctor or other healthcare professional to make sure it's a good fit for you. 

i’ve had t2 diabetes for a very long time and about 3 yrs ago i i had back surgery and now i have almost no strength in my legs. i don’t think the surgery caused my loss of strength but thought id mention the diagnosis i got, its called amyotrophic neuropathy, has anyone heard of this and possibly offer suggestions on dealing with this malady.
