Genre: Self-Help

Want to fix your diabetes? In this book, I share with

my diabetic and borderline diabetic readers that they have the power to reverse

or prevent diabetes simply by changing their diets. It starts with how

you think. By removing old beliefs to new ones that better serve you, the

path to recovery from diabetes can be that simple. Once I provide the

rationale for changing old beliefs to more productive ones, I then share with

you ways to stay motivated as you journey to a new way of eating. You are

then given a deeper understanding of why so many people have diabetes.

This knowledge will allow you to remove thoughts you may have had where

you blamed yourself for having diabetes. You are then given tips on how

to maintain the motivation needed to make a successful transition to a diabetic

friendly diet. Additional knowledge is given about the many complications

which could occur when this condition is not well controlled. Empowered

with the understanding of why diabetes occurs and its many complications, you

will be given a case for changing how diabetes is treated. This is done

by changing the focus of diabetes management away from the symptoms (elevated

glucose), which is how we currently manage this condition, to treating the

cause of the disease (insulin resistance). You are then given the

rationale for increasing healthy fats in your diets while reducing starchy

carbohydrates and processed foods. Once this is explained, examples of

foods that should be considered for smoothies, snacks, and dinner are given so

you will know how to choose foods which are best. Finally, tips on how

to avoid being fooled by marketing labels and claims of so-called healthy foods

provide the framework by which great dietary choices can be made. This

new approach to reversing diabetes with diet will reverse diabetes in nearly

anyone willing to make these simply lifestyle changes.

INSULIN RESISTANCE AND HOW TO REVERSE IT

Now that you understand that Type 2 diabetes is about

insulin resistance, it’s time to rethink how you are approaching your treatment

for this condition. Most doctors and their patients focus on reducing the blood

glucose values and if they’re successful they feel they’re controlling

diabetes. But I asked myself if we were fixing the core problem or simply

treating the symptoms. After reflecting on the question, I realized the core

problem may not be elevated blood glucose levels after all. High glucose values

are simply a symptom of diabetes. So where should the focus be?

The answer is insulin resistance. By focusing on this, you

could achieve much better results, since this is essential to fixing your

diabetes. Let’s use an analogy to help think about this concept in a different

way. If I see a patient who presents with a painful throat, red and swollen

tonsils, swollen lymph nodes in the neck, and a fever, I know I likely have a

patient who needs to be treated for strep throat. In order to solve his

problem, I will need to give him an antibiotic to fight the bacteria that is

causing his symptoms. If I gave this patient Tylenol, I would only be treating

his symptoms, and would likely end up with a patient who feels better but isn’t

really cured.

This is what we are doing with our diabetes treatment. This

is also likely the reason we consider this a progressively worsening disease.

By shifting your focus, you will find a path to the solution you’ve been

searching for. Why focus on insulin resistance? Because when insulin levels are

high due to resistance, lipolysis (fat breakdown) is inhibited, sensitive

arteries throughout the body are exposed to damaging higher levels of glucose,

muscle protein synthesis is reduced, and glycogen-filled cells are converted to

fat for storage.
