One of the biggest game changers in helping me reverse my Type 2 diabetes was extra virgin olive oil. One tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil about 10 to 15 minutes before a meal helped reduce my post-meal blood sugar spikes and made it easier to manage my blood sugar throughout the day. It became a daily habit that supported my overall nutrition strategy. Extra virgin olive oil is rich in hearthealthy monounsaturated fats and polyphenols. Research suggests it can support cardiovascular health, help raise HDL good cholesterol, reduce LDL oxidation and support healthy artery function as part of an overall healthy dietary pattern. For people with Type 2 diabetes and prediabetes, heart health matters just as much as blood sugar. No single food reverses Type 2 diabetes but when you combine the right foods with resistance training, body composition changes and a consistent lifestyle, you can improve insulin sensitivity and work toward reversing insulin resistance. That’s exactly what I did. I reversed my insulin resistance, restored my metabolism, and restored my body’s ability to process carbohydrates. More than seven years later, I take no medication, have no carbohydrate restrictions and my body processes carbohydrates like I never had Type 2 diabetes.
