I will try to explain this as simply as possible. But first, click the link in the description of this video to join our Diabetes Support Community, where you can learn about diabetes every day.

Don’t forget to like, save, share this video, and follow us for more educational content. Now, let’s proceed.

1. When you eat, insulin rises and your body stores energy as glycogen in the liver and as fat in tissues.

2. During fasting, the liver breaks down its glycogen and releases glucose into the bloodstream. This process is driven by counter-regulatory hormones such as glucagon, cortisol, and adrenaline—hormones that oppose insulin.

3. Their role is simple: keep glucose available for energy when you’re not eating.
This is also the basis of the dawn phenomenon.

4. While you’re asleep and not eating, your body releases glucose from stored reserves, leading to higher fasting blood sugar readings in the morning.

5. This explains why you don’t have to eat immediately after waking if you’re not hungry. It is because your body has already supplied glucose for energy.

6. In people without diabetes, this rise is small and well-controlled. In type 2 diabetes however, the rise can be more pronounced.

7. This is not a failure of fasting. It simply reflects increased glucose release from the liver.

8. If fasting blood sugar rises during intermittent fasting, it actually indicates that stored liver glucose is being used up.

9. As liver insulin sensitivity improves, this early-morning spike typically reduces over time.

10. Don't be discouraged. Continue intermittent fasting. With consistency your fasting blood sugar levels will stabilize.

11. Lastly, you will soon notice that though your fasting blood sugar is high, your random blood sugar level will be within the normal range. This means that post meal insulin production/sensitivity is getting better.

CAN DIABETES BE CURED OR REVERSED? WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BOTH

Does this sound familiar?

You were diagnosed with prediabetes, and your doctor told you to:

Exercise

Eat better

Cut alcohol

Lose weight

… or else you'd be placed on medication.

Or maybe you already had Type 2 diabetes and you were tired:

Tired of the sugar spikes

Tired of medications

Tired of living in fear

So you got serious.

You changed your lifestyle.

You didn’t just eliminate harmful foods, you started eating foods and drinking teas that support insulin sensitivity.

You exercised.

You took back control.

And then, the big moment:

Your blood sugar dropped to a normal range.

You were told, “You’ve reversed it!”

💡 But here’s what most people don’t understand:

🧬 Reversing diabetes doesn’t mean you're “cured.”

✅ True reversal means your blood sugar levels are within the normal range without medication for at least 6 months.

Read that again

And it's Type 2 Diabetes that can be reversed.

It doesn’t mean diabetes has disappeared.

It means you've managed it through intentional lifestyle choices but it's still there, waiting.

So if you stop exercising.......

Go back to eating sugary, processed, inflammatory foods...

Stop monitoring your blood sugar...

The diabetes comes back.

And this time, it hits harder.

Why?

Because diabetes is a SPECTRUM.

You don’t cure it, you reverse, you control it.

I know it can feel frustrating to be told you’ve reversed it only to see your numbers creep back up later.

But it’s not a failure.

It’s a reminder: SUSTAINABILITY is the real victory.

And we teach this in the School of Diabetes Mastery.

If you’re on the journey of reversing diabetes or want to know what’s actually working long term

Let me show you how to do it safely, sustainably, and with the right support.

𝐈 𝐍𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐊𝐍𝐄𝐖 𝐈 𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐋𝐃 𝐋𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐍𝐓 𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐑 𝐎𝐅 𝐌𝐘 𝐒𝐔𝐆𝐀𝐑 𝐋𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐋

When most people are diagnosed with diabetes, fear sets in.

👉 Fear of complications,

👉 Fear of taking drugs for life,

👉 and the feeling that your health will never be the same again.

But at the School of Diabetes Mastery (SDM), we’re rewriting that story, one person at a time.

SDM was created because of these fears

We are not about quick fixes.

We exist to help anyone struggling with persistent high blood sugar level move from a place of panic and confusion to one of clarity and conditioning.

This shift will be seen in your blood sugar control, the reduced dependence on drugs and overall health.

At the School of Diabetes Mastery,

👉You don’t just learn what to eat; you learn why your body reacts the way it does.

👉You don’t just get meal plans; you get confidence to choose food wisely wherever you are.

👉You don’t just track your blood sugar; you begin to understand how to keep it stable naturally through food, lifestyle, and faith-based principles.

One of our participants joined with her fasting blood sugar at 12 mmol/L with medications and constant fatigue.

Today, she’s medication-free, steady at 7 mmol/L, and radiating health — because she learned how to take charge of her healing journey.💯

And this can be your story too.

In the School of Diabetes Mastery, we combine:

✅ Practical nutrition education tailored to Nigerians

✅Personalized follow-up and accountability. Our follow-up game is unmatched!

✅Mindset transformation that replaces fear with knowledge

✅Faith, science, and community.

The School of Diabetes Mastery is an all in one life-changing program for anyone tired of taking too many medications and still having sugar spikes here and there.

If you’re tired of guessing, fearing, or trying random tips from the internet, this is your moment to finally understand your body and take control.

Registration closes soon, and only a few spots remain.

This is the last Cohort for 2025.

Make the decision now to step into your freedom — don’t let another month pass feeling helpless.

𝐃𝐈𝐀𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐒 𝐌𝐀𝐃𝐄 𝐒𝐈𝐌𝐏𝐋𝐄 - 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓’𝐒 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐃𝐈𝐅𝐅𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄 𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐖𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐓𝐘𝐏𝐄 𝟏, 𝐓𝐘𝐏𝐄 𝟐, 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐆𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋 𝐃𝐈𝐀𝐁𝐄𝐓𝐄𝐒?

Most people think diabetes is just a condition of high blood sugar levels but that’s not the complete truth.

High blood sugar is only a symptom, or better put, the aftermath of a deeper imbalance.

There are three major types of diabetes, and knowing your type is crucial because it determines your treatment and long-term goals.

👉 TYPE 1 DIABETES

This happens when the cells responsible for producing insulin are destroyed.

This destruction can be caused by an autoimmune reaction (the body attacking itself) or triggered by a viral infection, although the exact cause remains unclear.

Because there is no insulin at all, oral diabetic drugs won’t work for Type 1 diabetes.

These medications either help the body use insulin better or stimulate its production but in this case, there’s simply none to work with.

That’s why insulin injections are essential for survival for anyone with Type 1 Diabetes.

It’s most common in children and younger adults.

A related condition called LADA (Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults) is a slow-onset version of Type 1 diabetes that occurs in ADULTS and just like Type 1, it doesn’t respond to oral drugs.

Now you see why it’s so important to know which type of diabetes you have?

👉Type 2 Diabetes (The Most Common – about 90% of cases)

Here, the pancreas still produces insulin, but the body’s cells stop responding properly, a condition called insulin resistance.

Unlike Type 1, where there’s no insulin, Type 2 diabetes actually involves too much insulin in the body (hyperinsulinemia).

The good news?

✅Type 2 diabetes can be reversed when normal blood sugar levels are maintained without medication for at least six months (A1C < 6%).

This type is largely a dietary and lifestyle-related condition, so lifestyle changes — not just drugs — make a huge difference.

👉Gestational Diabetes

This form occurs during pregnancy due to hormonal changes.

If not properly managed, it increases a woman’s risk of developing Type 2 diabetes later in life.

The good news is that it often resolves after delivery but in some cases, it can progress to Type 2 Diabetes.

If you have TYPE 2 DIABETES or you had GESTATIONAL DIABETES that has lingered on and you want to learn how to REVERSE THE CONDITION so you don't take too many medications, then you need to join the November Cohort of the School of Diabetes Mastery.

Registration for the School of Diabetes Mastery (November Cohort) is ongoing!

Limited slots are available and registration ends 31st October.

𝐖𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐖𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐃 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 - 𝐔𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐋 𝐖𝐄 𝐃𝐈𝐃𝐍’𝐓

Whenever Pharm. Paula Nwabuzor shares her story, I shudder at the emotional weight she carried when she was nursing her dad and the truth is, her story echoes the reality of so many families.

Her father was only 56 when Type 2 diabetes claimed his life, a disease he once brushed off as “just a little sugar problem.”

How many of our parents see T2DM as a "no biggie"

Like many of our dads/mums, he believed there was more time, more time to eat better, take his medications, or visit the doctor.

But diabetes doesn’t wait.

It works silently, damaging blood vessels and vital organs long before symptoms appear.

That realization changes everything about how we should approach diabetes. We will expound on this more during the webinar.

Paula’s story is a wake-up call to every family postponing care or ignoring early signs.

Because the truth is, reversing Type 2 Diabetes is possible, but only if we act early enough.

It’s crucial to act early before the beta cells are permanently damaged.

Webinars where honest and difficult conversations about diabetes are held aren’t always available and that’s exactly why we started The Diabetes Insight Series.

The focus of this 4th episode is especially timely for children whose parents are living with diabetes and are asking, “How can I help my mum or dad live a healthier life?”

Having Pharm. Paula sharing her personal experience is an opportunity you don’t want to miss especially if you have a loved one who is struggling with diabetes.

Webinar Details:

Topic: Why so many families are losing loved ones to Type 2 Diabetes and how we can stop it.

Date: Saturday, November 1st, 2025

Time: 5:00–6:00 PM (WAT)

Venue: Google Meet

🔗 The meeting link will be shared only with registered participants.

Registration is free. See comments for registration details.

How many more families will wait until “later”?

𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝟏

Women go through a lot.

Sometimes I wonder why there are female-specific health issues 🤔

From premenstrual syndrome, menstrual cramps, PCOS, and endometriosis… to Gestational Diabetes.

Honestly, women should be celebrated more. 💐

Now, let’s talk about Gestational Diabetes (GDM).

This is the type of diabetes that happens to some women during pregnancy.

The hormones produced by the placenta interfere with the action of insulin, leading to high blood sugar levels.

GDM usually develops around the 24th week of pregnancy.

👉 If you are pregnant with no previous history of diabetes, at your first clinic visit, the doctors will check your fasting blood sugar to rule out undiagnosed diabetes before pregnancy.

Then between the 24th–28th week, the 2-hour Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT) is carried out to check for GDM.

Gestational Diabetes is often temporary because after delivery, blood sugar usually returns to normal.

But for women at high risk (obesity, family history, poor lifestyle choices), what started as GDM can later progress to type 2 diabetes.

That’s why screening is very important.

To be continued ......
