Novel protocol for reversing prediabetes and diabetes without medications: The 3-hour post-meal glucose testing


PDF Full Text

Abstract

 
Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (diabetes) is usually caused by insulin resistance and it is considered an incurable life-long disease. 
 
Patient concerns: Diabetes has become a worldwide plague; its prevalence continues increasing without end in sight. Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness, renal failure, lower extremity amputations, peripheral neuropathy, and so on. It is also a major contributor to coronary artery disease, strokes, erectile dysfunction, and premature deaths. Expenses related to diabetic care and patient suffering are staggering. In most cases, patients need to be on medications for life. 
 
Diagnosis: Diagnosis and follow-up of diabetes is usually done with A1c hemoglobin. 
Interventions: A 3-hour post-meal glucose testing protocol, not previously reported, is described to control and reverse type 2 diabetes. A 3-4year observation of one individual who used this novel protocol is included. 
 
Outcomes: Using the 3-hour post-meal glucose testing protocol, a 58-year-old male reversed early prediabetes (A1c = 5.7) and has been able to maintain a normal A1c of 4.7 on a non-diabetic diet without any caloric restrictions 3-4 years later. 
 
Conclusion: A 3-hour post-meal glucose testing is proposed for prediabetic or diabetic patients to find what fats or meals are blocking their insulin receptors, so that the offending meals and fats can be avoided, and insulin resistance can be reversed. This approach could revolutionize diabetic patient care by empowering patients with a simple and easy to follow protocol.
