From pre-diabetes, Type 2 diabetes and reversing disease with Keto diet.

Last year in May, I received pre-diabetes diagnose and a month later the confirmation of T2D. My weight was around 80kg, 1.67 height, 53 yrs age. I went on the internet to search for information on how-to, and if there was a chance to reverse the disease. In preparation, I started setting myself up to follow diabetes diet not very enthusiastic. However, it was after reading a Reddit comment thread here. Which led to a turning point I like to share with you. Few posts in the long thread had caught my eye, where members shared of totally reversing diabetes and losing weight with Keto diet. I thought to myself, yeah right! Prior to reading these posts I never even had heard about Ketogenic lifestyle, let alone Keto diet. Today I would like to salute and say a big thank you to these members posting their experience (at the time I hadn't subscribed to Reddit yet). Because, as result of reading these messages it triggered a notion. A turning point to abandon diabetes meal plan for following Keto diet. Without exaggeration, I lost 10kg during the first three months, not only the weight. I also surprised diabetes check-up having lowered my sugar levels to normal as well as my cholesterol levels LDL/HDL, triglycerides. To adapt to Keto sure wasn’t easy, after losing the first 10kg the real struggle began. For keto to have the body become fat adapted, but even more to find my balance in embracing ketogenic lifestyle. Which means I made my fair share of mistake and bumps in following the diet. Enduring physical ailments as frozen shoulder. Not one side but both sides almost a year apart, that by itself apparently is a fast recovery. Since most patients will have a far longer recovery period and you are considered lucky with one side. I belong to the small group of patients with both shoulders affected. Today, my weight has come down to 65 kg. Although a year older and hopefully wiser I look and feel better. Thanks to the posters!! I am sharing this in the hope I can help others that these posts were not a hoax! Keto diet can help reversing diabetes if you are determined and follow through.
