How Can You Achieve It?
In a Scope article published by Stanford Medicine:[1]
On the road to diabetes: How to halt disease progression and turn back to health
It has offered you some good advice. But, as Dr. Michael Greger has been advocating, just switch to plant-based diets. As for me, I have documented my personal journey from 2007 to now in many health-related articles published on below web sites:
- Travel to Health

The American travel writer Paul Theroux once wrote: "Tourists don't know where they've been, travelers don't know where they're going."
Healthy pursuits are like traveling. We know there is a wonderland called wellness. But, there are no fixed routes to reach there. The pursuits need effort and determination. We cannot act like tourists who don't know where they've been. We must take notes of warning signs sent by our bodies.
On the journey to wellness, there are many dangers to be avoided; there are many footsteps to be taken; unfortunately, there are no short-cuts.
Travelers walking in the night follow North Star. Healthy pursuits work similarly. We know our goal; we know the signposts; we know the dangers on the road; we can adjust pace if we are tired; we can change travel plans due to the weather. But, We walk steadily and persistently. With my companionship, hopefully, your journey will be made easier.
May all be fed. May all be healed. May all be loved.[2]
