Introduction

There is a breakthrough in treating diabetes. For too long,

we have been looking only at how sugar gets into the blood.

Now, we need to look closer at how sugar gets out of the blood.

Sugar has a hard time getting out of the blood

if there is too little insulin or when there is insulin resistance.

Dietitians and doctors need to learn to treat insulin resistance.

The clinical studies are clear: we can reduce insulin resistance

to clear the blood of excess sugar. This can only be done

with adjustments to the diet. We need to take

charge of our health and make the changes that will reverse diabetes.

What is really wonderful about diabetes is that it can be

reversed in some cases. Reversal is what this book is about.

The American Diabetes Association, many registered dietitians,

and many doctors who treat diabetes are going to counsel

you to restrict sugars and fast-releasing carbohydrates.

If you are thinking that this is somehow going to make

diabetes go away, it doesn't work. Diabetes is not going to be

reversed with normal medical treatment; it stays the same or it gets worse.

Insulin resistance is created by a constant stream of excess saturated fats.

These excess saturated fats also have a prominent role in killing off the

beta cells that make insulin in our bodies. Even worse, the

insulin resistance causes the liver to produce blood sugar,

even when it is already high. These concepts are a breakthrough

in understanding type 2 diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes is defined by insulin resistance and the animal fats that create it.

 

"Very quickly I started to feel better. The cramps in my

legs disappeared and I no longer had get up during the

night to go to the bathroom. My sugars kept dropping

and are now normal without any medication.

My last lab tests show that I am no longer diabetic.

People can hardly believe what has happened to me"
