The Diabetes Code: Prevent and Reverse Type 2 Diabetes Naturally

by Jason Fung

All these successful trials shared one common factor of overriding importance. They all used lifestyle interventions, not medications. So type 2 diabetes is not only a treatable

disease, but a preventable one.

It’s time to stop pretending type 2 diabetes is a chronic and progressive disease, and it’s time to stop treating it that way. Clearly type 2 diabetes is a dietary and lifestyle disease. To pretend otherwise is pure self-deception. But here’s what is important. A dietary disease requires a dietary treatment. And since weight gain clearly plays a prominent role in the development of type 2 diabetes,

And what do all the treatments that do not cure type 2 diabetes have in common? They raise insulin. And in fact, using these treatments worsens diabetes over

time.

Fact #1: Type 2 diabetes is a reversible disease. Fact #2: Virtually all conventionally treated patients get

worse.

hormonal imbalance, predominantly of insulin, is the key to obesity. I detail this process in my first book, The Obesity

Code.

The key insight came from understanding obesity. Too much insulin causes obesity, so it is logical that too much insulin could also cause insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. That obesity and type 2 diabetes were manifestations of the same disease, and simply flip sides to the same coin, explained perfectly how these two diseases were so closely related. Albert Einstein once said, “When you have eliminated the impossible,

whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.”

If the problem was too much insulin, then the answer was simplicity itself. Lower insulin. But how? No drugs at the time effectively did that. The solution was to go back to the basics. As a dietary disease, it required a dietary solution, not a pharmaceutical one. Since refined carbohydrates stimulate insulin the most and die...
