Summary

You've done everything your doctor told you to do. But still, you have wild fluctuations in your blood sugars. Your A1c, cholesterol and triglycerides are through the roof. And, you're gaining weight. Every time you go to the doctor, you brace yourself for "the lecture." At each appointment, you know that your doctor is either going to increase your current medications or add another pill to the fistful you're already taking. You feel like a failure.What if I told you it doesn't need to be that way and it's not your fault! You can lead a normal life with diabetes. You can get off the roller coaster of wildly fluctuating blood sugars, lower your cholesterol and A1c, and reduce (or possibly eliminate) some of the medications you are currently taking. You can reduce the risks of diabetic complications. And, if you are already suffering from diabetic complications, you can stop further progression and may even be able to reverse some of their effects. This is not only possible but can happen in a very short amount of time. You will be in control! And, it's easy!The fact is- you're having trouble controlling your blood sugar because the information you've relied on is wrong! What I will share with you goes against the conventional wisdom.
