Diet and Lifestyle

This is my first post here since 2015. Since then my life got very busy and I just did not have any time to make any contribution to any of my blogs including this one.

Last week I decided to republish my blog Eating@Home as we were entertaining friends and I was looking for a recipe of a cake we had not baked since that time of being diagnosed with Diabetes 2.

This got me into updating a post from 2015 and re-titling it Free from Diabetes 2? 

Over 2015 up till today I have been following a strict diet as outlined in the article on this blog called  Reverse type 2 diabetes

Drink plenty of water

Our bodies naturally need insulin and for whatever reason there becomes a defect and our pancreas does not produce enough insulin. Then our sugar levels rise which is very dangerous as we can get a stroke and heart attack. (More about insulin)
