To reverse diabetes, follow the No Change Rule
I’ve previously discussed the basic steps you can take to reverse, or at least absolutely minimize, type 2 diabetes.

My sensitivity is through the roof.(Mostly that is because I was doing a grueling flea market prep,actual 7 hrs at flea market,& then carting the remainder home.)
