How to Reverse Type 2 Diabetes by Diet - Katy's Succcess Story

 A student has managed to reverse her type 2 diabetes after shedding a third of her body weight. Katy McMillan, 28, has gone from injecting insulin four times a day to not at all after slimming down to just 124 pounds

The trainee paramedic was a size 16 and had a body mass index (BMI) of 35.3 when she was diagnosed with the disease at 18.At just 5ft tall and weighing 156 pounds, she was horrified with the way she looked.

Katy, from Texas, recalled: "When I look back, it feels like the big me with type 2 diabetes is a different person. I was so self-conscious, and embarrassed to have type 2 diabetes so young and to have to inject in front of people."

Things changed for Katy when, in April 2018, a Facebook post about Custom Keto Diet caught her eye.( Read more about Custom Keto ) After initially trying out the plan, she was shocked to discover she had reduced her blood sugar levels to match those of someone without type 2 diabetes.She continued: “I saw these amazing before and after pictures and thought, ‘That's what I want.’ 

 

Katy eventually hit her current weight of 156 pounds and has never been happier. She no longer needs to inject insulin, she just takes two Metformin tablets a day - a drug often used to treat type 2 diabetes. Katy now lives on fresh, home-cooked meals, prepared from scratch and hits the gym three times a week, where she does cardio and lifts weights.

She said: “My advice to anyone else out there feeling how I once did is just to take those first steps, go to that first meeting. It doesn’t take long for change to happen. You can still go out, have fun and socialise too.You don’t need to stop your life in order to feel different.”
