Blog entry 10th July pH diet ~ 10th July Overnight blood sugars prompted yet another drop in basals! Quite honestly I don’t know how I would have coped on MDI! [Multiple Daily Injections] The beauty of a pump is that you can change basal rates at the drop of a hat. So now my basal rate is running 60% lower than ten days ago when I got started on this diet! 9th July 06.54 3.7 12.00 4.2 Reduced basals to 50% 16.10 3.8 Carrot juice 16.51 6.0 22.20 4.6 10th July 02.40 3.7 carrot juice reduced basals to 40% 06.32 3.9 It was a friends’ birthday yesterday. We treated her to a nice meal out and I was pleased to be able to have a prawn salad without any dressings on it at least I could have a meal with her on her birthday. Strangely I don’t feel drawn to cheat on this diet, I am enjoying the reductions in basals and feel positive that perhaps my pancreas may be trying to jump start itself again after 3 years. Hubby is concerned that I may be starving myself by not eating often enough and has encouraged me to 'graze' more often so that I get the maximum nourishment out of my food. What he says makes sense, I mean I have only been eating every 4 or 5 hours with the odd mouthful of almonds during the day. As we know salad is made mostly of water so doesn’t last very long in the digestive tract! He says I should take a big salad/veg box when we are away from home so that I can snack with no problems. Today I feel a little better. I admit to have been feeling weak and washed out of energy this last week, and just put it down to all of the changes. This morning although it took effort to climb out of bed I feel a little brighter, and I get a day off from the heavy workouts as I am awaiting a delivery of a bathroom for a one of our customers, so lucky me I get to potter around the house munching lettuce leaves and cucumber. We still haven’t received the water ionizer from the seller yet, apparently it’s been more popular than anticipated and they ran out of stocks! Delivery by the middle of next week they say. I found a stockist in UK for Stevia, and ordered some yesterday so I eagerly await its arrival so that I can satisfy my sweet tooth again. Hubby and I are talking about raising some cash to get the food dehydrator that I would like, the Excalibur is supposedly the best one to get, and it’s also the most expensive. I want to make dried crackers and tortillas from sprouted grains mixtures as I think they might be the snack solution I am looking for. I am pleased that the fall in my blood sugars has been reasonably steady. And that has enabled me to reduce my basal rates at a steady and manageable rate too. Even so to be only taking 40% of the basal insulin I took 10 days ago is virtually unbelievable If I hadn’t been experiencing this for myself I may have had my doubts. How could someone’s body respond like this and so quickly too? JB was monitoring my daily blogs with anticipation and helped with a guiding hand where it was needed, that was an enormous boost for me.

About the Author
Sharon served for six years in the British Army as a member of the Queen Alexandra's Royal Army Nursing Corps. At the age of 38 she was diagnosed as being diabetic and for the next three and a half years self administered insulin several times each day via an insulin pump. Sharon had always maintained a balanced healthy diet from childhood, and her Body Mass Index was average from a very young age. In June 2009, when the opportunity arose to challenge the accepted view that diabetes was an irreversible condition, she applied the same nursing dedication and discipline to her own condition and pursued a dietary regime and lifestyle change that resulted, within five weeks, in the removal of the pump and no further insulin or drug requirements. Whilst the tenacity, determination and speed with which she made those changes may be beyond many people without the benefit of her nursing experience, within the first month she managed to prove to her own satisfaction that it could be done and maintained. After eighteen months she is still insulin and drug independent. Those diabetics who read this book can embark on the same journey confident that they can achieve the same results although they might prefer to proceed at a slower, more cautious rate by building on her experiences and thus avoiding some of the pitfalls and mistakes that she made and are described in this account.
