Currently, $1 in every $4 in health care costs is spent on treating diabetes and its complications. Despite the US government spending over $250 billion each year for insulin and other Type 2 diabetes drugs and diabetic care, are you aware that 60% of Type 2 diabetes patients suffer nerve damage, 50% suffer kidney damage, 25% suffer eye damage, and 2.5% undergo amputations? The fact is that endocrinologists can’t tell us the real cause of Type 2 diabetes.
Yet, medical doctors and the drug industry constantly promote the theory of insulin resistance and treat Type 2 diabetes with insulin. This is illogical. As you know, Type 1 diabetes results from the inability of the pancreas to produce insulin, and therefore, insulin is required for survival. Type 2 diabetes is a lifestyle condition resulting from overconsumption of complex carbohydrates that requires treatment via lifestyle changes, particularly diet as well as exercise.
The leading cause of obesity and Type 2 diabetes is the modern American diet.
There is no other common factor that causes the epidemic of obesity and Type 2 diabetes other than a diet in which most Americans consume more than 50% of their daily caloric intake through carbohydrates, primarily grains and grain-flour products.
The added sugar in sodas and juices may contribute to these lifestyle conditions. Still, the leading culprit is the voluminous amounts of glucose Americans ingest from grains and grain flour products. I’m referring to the steady diet of breads, muffins, fast food sandwiches, desserts, tacos, pizza, and so on.
By using insulin, you are controlling a symptom, not the disease.
The best way to control Type 2 diabetes is by lowering the intake of grain-based foods.
