Is diabetes truly a life sentence, or can you reverse it without relying on drugs like Metformin or Ozempic?

I talked with Chris Reade, who discovered a serious health condition after a life insurance exam. His A1C went from normal to a high 9.1 in 10 months because of visceral fat around his pancreas. Doctors told him this disease was progressive and incurable, but Chris refused that sentence. He researched and found a simple strategy focused on using soluble fiber to control blood sugar spikes. This method forces weight loss naturally by providing bulk, reducing hunger, and mitigating the effect of sugar. His approach involves practical, everyday systems like habit stacking and focusing on food volume to give control back to the individual.

Key Takeaways

  • Type 2 diabetes is caused by the accumulation of visceral fat (more than a gram or two) on the pancreas, which hinders its function.

  • It has been known since the 1970s that you can absolutely reverse diabetes.

  • Losing more than 10% of your body weight causes the body to pull fat off the pancreas, leading to the reversal of Type 2 diabetes roughly 80% of the time.

  • Soluble fiber, found in foods like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, oatmeal, and chickpeas, slows digestion and absorbs sugar, mitigating blood sugar spikes.

  • By focusing heavily on soluble fiber, you feel very full all the time, which is a key mechanism for effortless weight loss and managing cravings.

  • Performing even a small amount of exercise, such as two to five minutes of walking immediately after a meal, can knock blood sugar down by up to 25%.

  • The current medical model for treating diabetes in the U.S. is structured to promote dependency on medication, making diabetes prevention and remission less of a focus.
