I reversed my type 2 diabetes. Here’s how I did it
After a diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes Journalist Neil Barsky initially followed his doctors advice and began insulin injections. He also did his own research and found a community already aware of the root of the problem. After cutting out the carbs, he dropped his A1C, got off medications, and now considers himself cured.

Fight Gone Bad!
3 rounds for max reps of:
1 minute of wall-ball shots
1 minute of sumo deadlift high pulls
1 minute of box jumps
1 minute of push presses
1 minute of rowing (calories)
Rest 1 minute
Men use 20-lb. ball to 10', 75-lb. SDHP and press, 20" box
Women use 14-lb. ball to 9', 55-lb. SDHP and press, 20" box
This is the famous “Fight Gone Bad” workout. It has been used extensively to prep fighters for the UFC. Coach Glassman initially created this workout for fighter BJ Penn, to emulate the demands of an MMA fight.
In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating.
The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. On call of “rotate”, the athlete/s must move to next station immediately for good score. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point.

21-15-9 reps for time of:
Deadlifts
Handstand push-ups
Men use 225 lb.
Women use 155 lb.
This is 3 rounds; the first at 21 reps, the second at 15, and the third at 9 reps. It's expected that you'll need to partition the sets, e.g., Deadlift 7-7-7 & Handstand push-up 3-3-3-3-3-3-3 as a first round. Interval management - work/rest timing to optimize time - is an essential skill.
If the load is too much under any partitioning scheme, reduce it. If you need help with the handstand push-up, take it in any manner you can get it. If the handstand push-up (HSPU) is clearly beyond your current capacity, substitute a standing dumbbell shoulder press (hip and leg free). Though a less functional press, the standing shoulder press is a closer simulation to the HSPU than the more functional push-press or jerk. The point is that there's a manageable substitution for this workout for everyone that preserves both its mechanical and metabolic characteristics - this will be "your Diane."

If you fall behind the clock, keep going for 30 minutes and see how many rounds you can complete.
We did this 8 weeks ago, so let’s check in and see if we’ve improved. If you finished this workout last time, add 1 rep to each exercise — i.e., 6 pull-ups, 11 push-ups, and 16 squats each minute. If you missed the interval, try again and see if you can hang on for longer than before.
