I saw this article. However I'm not all that sure about surgery and an artificial implant.
I've seen some research done into intermittent fasting once a month to reset your pancreas. Basically the idea is to fast for 5 days monthly. 1000 calories on day one and 750 calories for the rest of the 4 days. It's supposed to help you regain natural insulin production.
Also look into the effects of cinnamon on the body. Cinnamon lowers blood sugar in the body. Has anti inflammatory properties as well. I've been taking cinnamon, lemon and honey myself to help me lose weight. And it's been working.

I've read the same thing, fasting to re-set the pancreas.
On a personal level, I've managed to cure type 2 diabetes naturally over a period of five months. I exercise regularly but the main factor was diet. I consume Cinnamon daily, along with several other foods know to lower blood sugar.
I avoid bread, sugar and artificial sweeteners totally and try to avoid processed food as much as possible.
Fantastic.
I was told that my sugar was high when I was last in the hospital. So I've changed my diet completely and began to exercise. I do cinnamon daily as well in my prepared drink. Got my wife to use cinnamon as well in her daily smoothy.
Other foods which I eat daily include 4 eggs, tuna, rolled oats, honey, oysters, cacao powder, tumeric, ginger, pear and apple, okra, broccoli, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, brazil nuts, and sometimes spinach.
I hope this helps you @grey580.
I do egg whites usually. Not into fish all that much. I like oatmeal. I do honey in my diet drink.

I take tumeric pills daily. ginger on occasion. pears and apples I gotta be careful with because of my UC. okra not a fan. broccoli i do when we have veggies. Spinach when I"m in the mood.
In addition I will be doing quinoa again soon instead of rice.
Egg yolk contains essential minerals and proteins. People told me not to eat so many eggs but I knew their information was dated and false. My most recent blood tesf proved the point. My cholesterol levels and blood sugar both dropped back to normal.
As for the cinnamon. I put that in my rolled oats every morning, along with cacao powder and honey. It's a very tasty meal and also extremely healthy.
You may want to look into maple syrup as well.. it has many beneficial properties.

"Several of these anti-oxidant compounds newly identified in maple syrup are also reported to have anti-cancer, anti-bacterial and anti-diabetic properties."
We can't buy maple syrup here in Australia I don't think, but thanks for letting me know. I wouldn't have guessed it would help diabetes @grey580.👍
Yes I have heard similar things but you can't restore pancreatic function in type 1 by doing that. It is more useful in type 2. Also this is not an artificial implant.
