Yes – You can reverse Type 2 Diabetes!
Diabetes is a major public health problem that is approaching epidemic proportions globally. Worldwide, the prevalence of chronic, noncommunicable diseases is increasing at an alarming rate. About 18 million people die every year from cardiovascular disease, for which diabetes and hypertension are major predisposing factors. Today, more than 1.7 billion adults worldwide are overweight, and 312 million of them are obese. In addition, at least 155 million children worldwide are overweight or obese. A diabetes epidemic is underway.
451 Million adults with diabetes
To date, the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) have estimated that 451 million adults live with diabetes worldwide.
Top 10 causes of death globally
Diabetes is one of the top 10 causes of death globally. Together with cardiovascular disease, cancer and respiratory disease, these conditions account for over 80% of all premature noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) deaths.
Second biggest life expectancy reducer
Although progress has been made in promoting population health and extending life expectancy, diabetes is the second biggest negative total effect on reducing global health adjusted life expectancy worldwide.
Each year 7 million people develop Diabetes
Each year 7 million people develop Diabetes and the most dramatic increases in type 2 Diabetes have occurred in populations where there have been rapid and major changes in lifestyle, demonstrating the important role played by lifestyle factors and the potential for reversing the global epidemic

What is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs when the pancreas is no longer able to make insulin, or when the body cannot make good use of the insulin it produces. There are three main types of diabetes.
Type 1 Diabetes:
Is caused by an autoimmune reaction in which the body’s immune system attacks the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas. As a result, the body produces very little or no insulin.
Type 2 Diabetes:
Is the most common type of diabetes. Initially, hyperglycaemia (high blood glucose levels) is the result of the inability of the body’s cells to respond fully to insulin, a situation termed ‘insulin resistance’.
Gestational diabetes (GDM):
(GDM) is characterised by high blood glucose levels during pregnancy. It may occur at any time during pregnancy (although most likely after week 24) and usually disappears after the pregnancy.
Health Impact
Over time, diabetes can damage the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves.
- Adults with diabetes have a two- to three-fold increased risk of heart attacks and strokes.
- Combined with reduced blood flow, neuropathy (nerve damage) in the feet increases the chance of foot ulcers, infection and eventual need for limb amputation.
- Diabetic retinopathy is an important cause of blindness, and occurs as a result of long-term accumulated damage to the small blood vessels in the retina.
- Diabetes is the cause of 2.6% of global blindness.
- Diabetes is among the leading causes of kidney failure.
How to reverse Type 2 Diabetes?
There is no guarantee you can reverse diabetes, but you can improve some of the symptoms by changing your lifestyle. It’s important to do this, as living with diabetes increases your risk of heart disease, stroke, vision loss, miscarriage, and a number of other issues.
- Maintain a healthy body mass index. Every 2.2 pounds of weight lost reduces your diabetes risk by 16 percent. In 2019, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) stated that reducing carbohydrate intake was the most effective nutritional strategy for improving blood sugar control in those with diabetes.
- Eat a low-fat diet. Fill your plate with fruits, veggies, whole grains, nuts, lean meats, fish and chicken.
Avoid certain foods. Processed, refined carbohydrates and foods rich in saturated fats and sugar should be avoided. - Stay hydrated. Skip the sugar-sweetened beverages and drink water throughout the day.
- Daily exercise. Get off the couch and get involved in regular physical activity that will help your body use insulin more efficiently.
- Reduce stress. Learn ways to chill. The stress response triggers the release of hormones that increase blood sugar levels.
- Get a full night’s rest. Sleep deprivation can cause obesity, which leads to an increased risk of diabetes.
How can Chaya help?
Various research has found that Chaya ‘Cnidoscolus Aconitifolius’ has a Glucose lowering effect. Studies and research also concluded that Chaya has an insulinogenic property that possibly stimulated dormant beta-cells to secrete insulin.
These studies found the improvement in the parameters like body weight, liver glycogen content and carbohydrate metabolizing enzymes as well as regeneration of β-cells of pancreas and so might be of value in diabetes treatment.
Make Chaya part of your daily supplement routine now. It is safe and a 100% Natural!
