My story and history
_________________________________________
I was diagnosed with diabetes 4 months ago.
Three days later I got a reading of too high for the meter to read over 600 as well as about 15 readings in the 400 and 500s range and many, many in the 200s and 300s and the lowest was 157 in over 100 readings.
I did the following and my blood
Sugar never went into the 400s and up and only 5 readings in the 300s with the rest 200s and some high 100s" for the next 3 months.
1 exercised 6-7 days a week walking, water aerobics or swimming
2 I became a became a vegan
3 I gave up buffets, fast foods and junk foods.
4 I tried to eat low on the glycemic index and ate less whole grains and fruits but did still eat some
5 I ate between 45-85% raw foods

MY JUICE FAST
_____________________________________________________
Finally I went on a juice fast with some mild detoxing
Today is day 40 of my planned 50 day juice fast (well it was 45 but I decided to go to 50). I am averaging slightly over a pound a day weight loss.
I am taking in 3-6 cups of fruit and veggie juices raw, some commercials juices like v8, some herbs teas, and veggie broths so unfortunately only averaging about 40-65% raw
This is the exciting part..my blood
Sugar is now in the low 100s ..the very highest was 157 and it is usually between 112 and 132 but I did have one normal reading of 97.
Even if I take in a lot of undiluted fruit juices, the blood
Sugar stays in the low hundred range. You may want to dilute the fruit juices 50-50 if desired just in case.
I also lost a lot of weight and my blood pressure which was 160/90 was just checked and found to be 142/72 almost a 20 point drop. also my heart rate is down..not sure about cholesterol etc as not checked but I suspect is is all down too
I generally both while fasting and while not fasting take in about 80-85% produce ..this result is showing me the power of exercise and produce and raw foods.
I suspect when I come off the juice fast, my blood sugar will go up some and I might gain a little weight back but I hope to eventually go more raw and get it better once I eat up the health foods and things needing to be cooked in my pantry.
I hope this testimony will be of help and give hope to other diabetics.
Doing well on the fast at 40 days this is the longest one I ever did...marching on to 50 days. I am losing weight so well on this, I may start doing a few long fasts a year and maybe some short ones.
