Hi Stephey,
Always nice to hear from someone and always nice to hear I am making a difference. It is quite gratifying. When you get to Portland enjoy your stay as there is lots to see/do and tons of GREAT restaurants. Low carb is always available and at least the restaurants I frequent will cater to a diabetic.
Thanks, Deborah

Thanks for the home school job mister what-ever your name is. Absolutely enlightening.

Blessings to you.

please study what ramadan fasting really is. muslins fast at day time but feast at night. in fact this is the time when the sale of meat goes up. they eat a lot at night. its not a real fasting. besides most do nothing at daytime when they dont eat. i have tried dr. jason fungs strategy and it works. if you have a problem with the word cure then so be it but reversing and stopping the progression of diabetes is something he has proven and none of the current treatments really work. i admire people who offfer solution and have put it in action than people like you who criticize but offer empty words.

For instance, 2011: http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00125-011-2204-7
There are other articles out there, if you care to look. If the pancreas can be convinced to produce the right amount of insulin, which it did, and the insulin reaction is measured as “normal”, which it did, I’d argue that this is in fact a “cure”.

I picked the above because the research was repeated with more subjects over a longer time in 2016 (and unfortunately picked up and as usual misreported by the popular press):
http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/early/2016/02/24/dc15-1942.abstract?sid=3286ad4b-242a-4133-afa9-518fab027687

Because it was picked up in the press, the NHS did a review to clarify some of the misleading statements made in said press:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/behindtheheadlines/news/2016-03-22-could-a-very-low-calorie-diet-cure-type-2-diabetes/

So yes, some were cured, with lots of caveats. Much more research needed, as usual.

Currently researching the topic myself, Fung in particular. I was struck by you calling his claims “clickbait”, when you freely admit you haven’t actually read the source material. This strikes me as being intellectually lazy at best, dishonest at worst. I certainly hope you’re not one of those people who has made up their minds so don’t bother with conflicting information? Note that I’m not defending or promoting Fung, because I HAVEN’T read the book yet. Which makes it hard to form an honest opinion about it, wouldn’t you agree? You mentioned him, then implied he was a scam (the site is called “low-carb-scams” after all), without actually looking at the source material. That doesn’t strike me as something that helps your cause.

Given the other research on the subject which supports that there IS a cure for type 2 diabetes (again, with caveats and much more research required), you may want to re-examine your opinions on the subject. Unless you define “cure” as “completely eliminating any susceptibility to the condition in the future”, in which case you should perhaps define that you mean “cure + vaccine + possible genetic rewriting”, since “cure” usually isn’t that stringently defined.

I looked to your blog to find factual evidence. I found instead at least one instance of someone who is unwilling to even LOOK at information that might contradict their opinion. That casts a shadow on other information found here. I’m disappointed.

What exactly is Dr Fung’s or his supporters’ definition of cure?
Does it mean “I am no longer insulin resistant, and can eat a normal diet containing carbs, just like a person without diabetes”? Are there any real examples of people who have followed his treatment/diet and are no longer insulin-resistant? i.e. their blood tests are equivalent in all metrics to the blood tests of those that are not considered diabetic or pre-diabetic?
