Well, my A1C is steady at 4.6 for as long as I can remember, but...

I don't like the way this thing looks. Reminds me of rusty pipes.

I don't want this thing near me. Thank you.

If you have Diabetes and still maintaining A1C of 4.6 then you really need an applause. Perhaps you can share what measures you have taken to reduce your A1C to such ideal value for benefit of people having diabetes.

Doctors and literature about diabetes is not always accurate or true in regards to some of their claims about diabetes.

Surely there is type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and type 2 can surely be affected by changes in lifestyle and including potentially recovering some of the damage that might have had taken place to insulin receptors through historical bad diet and other bad lifestyle choices. Even if the body might not be able to reverse all of the damage, it might be able to get to a much better state based on better lifestyle choices, and yeah there could well be some genetic components that challenge some folks more than others, yet I would not get so steadfastly agreeable to some claim that diabetes is not reversible, unless maybe your particular circumstances are something related to type 1 or some degenerative condition that you might have.

I am also not suggesting that making lifestyle changes are easy or even that people make lifestyle changes that are actually materially enough or the right kinds of ones for their own body, since sometimes, again, the information sources might even directing you towards the wrong information, such as telling your that grains are healthy or failing to distinguish good fats from bad fats or even distinguishing that not all proteins are equal either... for example processed meat versus whole meat with the fat (including letting you know the actual nutritious value of ruminants that happen to have red meat and coincidentally a lot of nutrition too..especially if eaten with their fat and even organ meats)..

Doctors and the Pharma industry don't want people to be cured from disorders like DM and Blood Pressure. They want people to carry these disorders with them and try to fix them through medicines. You can note they health of most of people degrade with time who take medicines for managing disorders like DM and Blood pressure.
Surely we can reverse disorders like Type-2 Diabetes with changing lifestyles like reducing junk food intake, sleeping well during night, walk, reducing carbs intake, maintaining recommended BMI, stress management and more. In case of T2 Diabetes, we can still healthy life with left over Beta sells only if we change our life style.
There is lot of literature available on youtube about how to maintain Diabetes by changing life style. We have to segregate it our self that which info is correct and which is not.
