32 years with diabetes, 10,000 hours research.
Pain, frustrating, plenty of f**k it - I’m going to die anyway moments.
Until I found abundance not depravation.
Until I found enjoyment not anger.
Good news... there's an easy way to fix this in as little as 90 days
Looking good, in my thirties, board level executive, working hard and enjoying the rewards.
Standard western diet, but starting to get itches, rashes, skin inflammations - minor stuff - carried on thinking I was invincible, fit and healthy.
Turns out I was pre-diabetic - didn't know.
Twenty stone. HbA1c over 100. Raging Diabetes. Unrecognisable.
Doctor saying it's degenerative, permanent.
I'm depressed, annoyed, eyes, nerves all hurting.
£400 jacket and miserable.
I'd followed every official dietary guideline.
I wasn't lazy.
I wasn't greedy - just the wrong so called "healthy" food.
Got worse, much worse.
That's when I decided I had to do something different.
I applied the same systems thinking I'd used for Oxford, NATO, and intelligence agencies.
This time: debugging human metabolism, not digital systems.
But staying in remission?
That took another decade.
Kept weight off. Bloods mostly in control but in and out of range. Mainly when life throws a spanner in the works.
Still on meds. Still experimenting. Still figuring out the final stages - how to deal with stress of life and things like Co-Vid.
How to cope with travel, planes, going out, drinking, dinner parties, restaurants and friends.
Full remission. No medication
Kept my feet, eyes, toes, travelling, mobile.
Enjoying life and food.
And when shit happens I now have protocol that hold up when life doesn't.
The official advice is broken. Low-fat, "healthy whole grains". Made me worse, not better.
New world...
These are my readings from this festive season:
And staying in remission.
Not perfect - but sustainable because it's compatible with a great life.
