Reversible period? If pancreatic function is still present, its a question of restoring insulin sensitivity. Which is still best achieved wth ... low carbohydrate diets. Turns out the thing which overloaded the system aka glucose is the same thing we can remove from the diet to restore it.

In the 70s total diabetes as a measure of population was 1%. Its now over 10% and can you guess what type has been the main "lifestyle" disease?
Type 1 was never a death sentence. The original "treatment" was ... low/no carb in the 1800s.
But that's besides the point, Diabetics are never even told that they can restore insulin sensitivity and/or put the disease into remission. Its just more pills and injections.

95% pf suffers are T2. Diabetes used to be 1% of the population and almost exclusively T1.

Lets see:
- Option 1: Doctors provide plans for patients to reduce their carbohydrate intake, pushing their diabetes into remission; or
- Option 2: Doctors listen to pharma reps that "this is the next big thing", they ceate another billion or 2x or 3x Billion pill and patients continue treating diabetes as a progressive disease that slowly takes toes, feet, eyes and legs.
What'll it be Jimmy? Door number 1 or door number 2?

Seriously? Here's some FaCts:
Type 2 diabetes accounts for approximately 90% to 95% of all diagnosed cases of diabetes; type 1 diabetes accounts for approximately 5-10%

And type 2 diabetes can be put into remission at any stage of the disease, or do you think there is only one path: ever increasing insulin shots, amputation and death?
