    thanks for your input bro, but we have to understand that science and medical knowledge is forever-expanding and never-ending. doctors do not ultimately know everything down to the finest details. scientists can't explain everything. diabetes in itself is an ever-expanding disease, with new categorizations etc. who's to tell, maybe 20 years from now, what we are discussing on this very thread, might become widely accepted in biology. you never know. I can't speak about the disease on the widest scale, however, based on my personal experience, I'm convinced PMO was the sole cause, or contributed to my diabetes. I dunno what else to look at. My doctor can't explain my case. says he's never seen someone reverse diabetes so quickly and with so little effort. Virus' have been about since forever, and a common cold is perhaps the oldest illness caused by a virus, and doctors and scientist can't even master defeating that yet, why should I be confident that they know every single thing about diabetes?

    @fullyrecovered Great last post in response to the medical student. I have lost COMPLETE trust in doctors in the US. Most of them are very ignorant about what is healthy and what is not in so many aspects.

    I am sure many people would call you crazy if you told them masturbation causes diabetes ... what's even crazier is that HEALTH articles on the internet published in America say that masturbation is healthy, which encourages people to do even it more. I have lost so many great years of energy to masturbation. I am on day 4 of nofap and I am feeling so strong. Your messages on this thread made me even stronger. I wanna keep in touch so I can tell you how I feel after day 90.

    I'd probably say i'm PMO free. Things that used to trigger me, don't anymore. It's a good feeling. I can even watch porn if I want and I just don't follow up the urge. I have control over my thoughts and actions. I feel like a normal person again.

    my blood sugar would peak to like the 300s when i just started using insulin, and yeah my body did react to insulin, my levels were dropping as they should. As I continued using insulin and was on the streak, my numbers were getting better and better, where I wouldn't even go past 200. then it reached to a point where my levels were way too low while on my insulin and pills, which is why i got off them. I dreaded having to be injecting myself every night before bed for the rest of my life and having to force pills down my throat. I've hated pills all my life. this thread did give me hope. i remember your post that said something along the line of "you can totally reverse diabetes and be cured through nofap". I doubted that at first but then I thought I'd try going on a streak, cause the idea of being insulin and metformin free was appealing to me. i abstained from everything. No sex, No PMO. nothing at all for 5 months, and now I'm cured and I highly doubt it's a coincidence.

    @bken I completely agree .... but for me it's probably the testosterone too because I took a blood test and my testosterone is low. @fullyrecovered just gave me even more strength. I am so glad he posted on this thread and that someone got healed because of this thread.

    @fullyrecovered Good for you bro ... what a great testimony. You never know how precious health is until you lose it. I strongly suggest to get away from animal-based foods and eat a great plant based diet, you will avoid ALL diseases and live a happy long life. I just can't wait to get to your level now hahah. I am determined to make it happen.

    Do you think that once you cured and you're in a relationship, having sex on a daily basis with your girlfriend or wife would bring it back ?? How often should we release to avoid any issues coming back ? I have to say that I masturbated heavily, usually twice a day, sometimes even more.

    stay on your meds for the time being, while going through nofap. that's what I did. when you've reached a point where your blood sugar levels are often way too low, then you'll know that your body is basically close to recovery. I found out because I started feeling the effects of low blood sugar often (shakey hands, weakness, etc.), when I was still on meds. that's when I decided to get off them. at that point they were doing more harm than good, and we know low blood sugar is as dangerous or even more dangerous than high blood sugar.

    @stack85 & @fullyrecovered

    Hey brothers, I've just seen your replies and I am reading into it. A lot of the time when we are talking to a patient who the disease actually impacts, we end up seeing that they know more than we do!

    Fullyrecovered, you are absolutely correct in your statements, the human body is ever changing and what is considered ridiculous at one time is a norm in the future. The most well-known story is one of the scientists that swallowed H. pylori to prove they caused ulcers. It's an interesting (although unrelated) story if you guys want to google it. On top of the entire field being stubborn and lagging behind there are A LOT of issues with medical education, one of the main ones is that the textbooks are 8-10 years out of date by the time they are published! So everything about the impact of fat on the pancreas is not taught in our classes. It's my responsibility as a future medical practitioner to keep up to date with something that affects so many people, so this is a failure on my part.

    The articles and the videos you put up are amazing and I'm currently following through with my own research. Everything you say is checking out as far as I can see. Keep doing what you're doing bro, we're changing lives one at a time!

    @ThePeacocksTale Great answer .. I also believe that when we carefully listen to our bodies, we can often even detect what is wrong without having to see the so-called doctors. Like I always had the suspicion that masturbation was the cause of high blood pressure and diabetes but I always put it in the back of my mind because of all the articles saying how healthy it is. Many doctors that I have faced also never truly cared about getting to the root cause of my issues and were just too quick to prescribe pills ... ridiculous.

    Definitely, I am not actually on meds, I am using berberine which helps lower blood sugar like metformin.

    Yep,
    High blood pressure here. Since I started nofap it seems to have gone down a as of my last appointment. PMO is really damaging to your mind and body. No one can tell me this and sex addiction in general are not true addictions.

    @Westsidejimmy How high was your blood pressure ? How much did it go down ? It's terrible what PMO does to you. How long did it take it to go down ?

    @Westsidejimmy What's your longest nofap streak been ? I see 100 days. For nofap to really have great effect, sex needs to be avoided too. Any form of release. I'm on day 4 but I wanna make it to day 90 at least and see the difference it makes. My longest streak has been 25 days.

    I did hard mode for 90 days. I'm just getting to the point of thinking about sex with the wife again.

    90 days is quite an achievement ... How did you feel after doing 90 days hard mode ? like a new man ? ALL my health issues are related to my PMO addiction, all if it !

    Well I have some issues that have been going on for quite a while. I wouldn't say a new man yet, but definitely one on the plus side of recovery.

    Stay with it. It's not even about being strong, it's about losing interest in PMO.

    @Westsidejimmy So does hard mode for 90 days make you lose interest? do you feel like you're not addicted anymore after completing 90 days hard mode ?

    Porn for sure, don't feel the urge. I used to get horribly triggered by women on the street wearing revealing clothes, but that has gotten better. Not that I don't appreciate them, but I don't catch myself feeling like a creep and trying to get a glance in nearly as much.
    MO is still tempting, but I want to see this out since it is part of the cycle.

    @fullyrecovered Now that you are healed, is being sexually active on a regular basis with a girlfriend for example safe ? Does it affect your blood sugar ? or would you advise to have much less sex ? Masturbation/sex are essentially the same thing .... advise me
