The sad fact is that Type 2 diabetes is a growing epidemic in westernised countries and, even sadder, is that it is entirely preventable in most cases. I like it when someone contacts me about it as I can honestly say I have always managed to get them to improve their scores and, often, avoid life medication.
It’s such a big topic, I am writing a factsheet on it. For now, you might want to look at the Belly Fat Plan below to start you off. Ignore the title; this just happens to be a low blood-sugar, insulin-balancing, low glycaemic type diet, very similar to the diet we recommend for Type 2 diabetes. Doesn’t matter if you have belly fat or not; it will be a great diet for you. Check it out.
The other thing to think about is taking a good blood-sugar-regulating multi vitamin and mineral supplement such as this. Diabetics have an increased need for certain nutrients and this kind of multi is a good foundation product. Don’t take it with diabetes medication, though, and discuss with your chosen health practitioners.
Here, too, is some info on using a specific form of B1, benfotiamine, which I think has real potential – some posts I’ve written on it here. And an interesting case article here:

Retiring, but loads of help still here!
I have now retired from Purehealth, but I have left my site, books, newsletters etc all up so that you can still access all this lovely info from the last 30 years! I won’t be updating it now, but there is a LOT of really good info here still. Check My Favourites page for where to find info, supplements, tests, practitioners, courses and more. Anything I think could help. And Start Here if you’re not sure where to start with your symptom or condition.
Please continue to support me by using the links, which might give me a bit of commission and you some discounts, and you can buy me a coffee here if you feel moved to.
You can still follow me here.
Bless your cotton socks from me. Thanks for all your love, support and fun over the past 30-odd years. I will miss you, Micki x
