The
key to any hope of curing diabetes is to improve your physical condition, eat
more healthily, avoid stress, stop smoking and drinking alcohol, and lose
weight (the first two points help). « To reverse diabetes, a very
low-calorie diet (just 700 kcal a day) for 2 months can help restore normal
blood sugar levels. However, to follow such a diet, it is important to be
accompanied, to consume sufficient vitamins, fibre and water, and to be able to
rest. You should also be aware that the faster you act, the greater your
chances of success. Changing your lifestyle will stimulate your cells and
regenerate them so that they become sensitive to insulin again. This is only
possible if the insulin-producing pancreatic cells have not been destroyed
(which is the case in very advanced diabetes). It's also important to identify
the factors that promote diabetes and eliminate them », explains
Mathieu Tobossi, Food Hygiene and Quality Specialist.
This
is the case, for example, with salt (when consumed in excess), glutamate and
aspartame (sweeteners found in all diet or 'sugar-free' products), and also
certain antidepressants (these cholesterol-lowering drugs increase the risk of
diabetes by 46%).
In
fact, diabetes cannot be cured, as Dr Catherine Solano, a French sexologist,
points out. « Diabetes is not, a priori, a curable disease.But it
all depends on your diabetes.If you have type 2 diabetes and are very
overweight, losing weight can sometimes normalise your blood sugar levels.
...In the case of type 1 diabetes, you can lose a lot of weight before you
discover you have diabetes, and then put on weight again once you start taking
insulin.But this does not mean that the diabetes is cured.It's simply
balanced... ».
