Is it possible to reverse type 1 diabetes if detected early?
He International Journal of Disease Reversal and Prevention has already done it had Your share of miraculous disease reversals with a plant-based diet. For example, one patient began following a whole-food, plant-based diet after suffering two heart attacks in two months. Within months, he no longer experienced chest pain, controlled his cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar, and also lost 50 pounds as a nice bonus. However, the figures “do not reflect the transformation of the patient, who goes from feeling like a ‘living dead man’ to being in charge of his health with a new future and a new life.”
I have previously discussed cases of revert the autoimmune inflammatory disease psoriasis and also speak about lupus nephritis (inflammation of the kidneys). What about type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune disease that we didn’t know about? think Can we do something about it? Unlike type 2 diabetes, which is a lifestyle-related disease that can be prevented and reversed with a healthy enough diet and lifestyle, type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which our body attacks the pancreas, eliminating our insulin-producing cells and condemning us to a life of insulin injections, unless, perhaps, it is caught in time. If a healthy enough diet is started in time, can we reverse the course of type 1 diabetes by mitigating that autoimmune inflammation?
As I analyze it in my video. Type 1 Diabetes Treatment: A Plant-Based DietWe know that patients with type 1 diabetes “may be able to reduce insulin requirements and achieve better blood glucose [blood sugar] control” with healthier diets. For example, children and adolescents were random to a nutritional intervention in which they increased the density of whole plant foods in their diet, meaning they ate more whole grains, whole fruits, vegetables, legumes (beans, split peas, chickpeas, and lentils), nuts, and seeds. Researchers found that the more whole plant foods, the better blood sugar control.
The fact that more whole fruits were associated “with better glycemic levels [blood sugar] Monitoring has important clinical implications for nutrition education” in people with type 1 diabetes. We should “educate them about the benefits of fruit intake and dispel misguided concerns that fruit can negatively affect blood sugar.”
The series of cases in IJDRPHowever, it went further proposing better control only of high blood sugar levels, the symptom of diabetes, but better control of the disease itself, suggesting that the anti-inflammatory effects of healthy, whole plant foods “may slow or prevent further destruction of beta cells”, the insulin-producing cells. pancreatic cells: “if dietary intervention is started early enough.” Where did this concept come from?
A young patient. Immediately following the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes at age three, one patient began a plant-rich diet and, three years later, “has not yet required insulin therapy…and has experienced a steady decline in autoantibody levels.” , which are markers of insulin in cells. destruction. Another child, who also began eating a healthier diet, but not until several months after diagnosis, maintains a low dose of insulin with good control. And, even if their insulin-producing cells have been completely destroyed, people with type 1 diabetes can still enjoy “drastically reduced insulin needs,” reduced inflammation, and reduced cardiovascular risk, which is its main cause of death among those aged 30. People with type 1 diabetes have 11 to 14 times the risk of death from cardiovascular disease compared to the general population, and it is already the leading cause of death among the public, so it is closer to 11 to 14 times higher It is important for those with type 1 diabetes to follow the only diet and lifestyle program ever shown to reverse heart disease in the majority of patients, one focused on whole plant foods. The fact that it can also aid Controlling the disease itself is just the icing on the sugar-free cake.
All this new and interesting research was presented in the first issue of The International Journal of Disease Reversal and Prevention. As a bonus, there is a companion post. called he Disease Prevention and Reversal Summary. These are for the lay public and are developed with the belief I wholeheartedly share that “everyone has the right to understand the science that could affect their health.” You can go behind the scenes and hear directly from the author of the lupus series, read interviews from luminaries like Dean Ornish, see practical advice from dietitians on how to transition to a healthier diet, and enjoy recipes.
The second question includes offers more practical tips, like how to eat plant-based products on a budget, and provides updates on what Dr. Klaper is doing to educate medical students, what Balanced’s Audrey Sanchez is doing to help change school lunches and how Dr. Ostfeld got healthy food served in a hospital. (What a concept!) And what magazine would be complete without an article on improving your sex life?
The magazine is free and can be downloaded at IJDRP.organd its supplementary summary, available at diseasereversaldigest.comcarries a subscription fee. I am a proud subscriber.
