I think this is the bottom line. By the time the typical Type 2
diabetic is diagnosed, he's lost 80% of his beta cells. You can take
medication, and get plenty of exercise. You can control your diet and
do everything right and be well controlled, but you can never bring
those beta cells back to life.
You have to ask, what does "reverse diabetes" mean? If it only means
controlling your diabetes, then, yes you can. But if you mean going
back to the good old days when you weren't diabetic, then I'd have to
say you can never bring those beta cells back to life.
For what it's worth, there is ongoing research is ways of transplanting
or infusing new beta cells into our old diabetic bodies. If any of
those techniques are brought to a practical reality, then perhaps we
will be able to go back to the good old days.

Blurred Vision (2 posts)

I see blurred vision listed as a symptom of diabetes but none of the web
sites tell me why exactly the vision starts to blur. Can anyone tell me the
scientific reason why the vision would blur as a result of diabetes?
Thanks in advance!
