Diabetes

Have you been diagnosed with diabetes? Did you know that it is NOT a life-long condition that you just have to live with? You CAN recover your health!

Diabetes is a carbohydrate intolerance. The body has trouble controlling the hormone known as insulin, which rises when you eat, so too much sugar winds up in the blood. Whether you have prediabetes, gestational diabetes, type 1 (autoimmune), or type 2 (lifestyle choice), your health can be greatly improved by reducing your carbohydrate intake.

Your overall health can drastically improve, if you stop eating processed foods, high fructose corn syrup, seed oils (vegetable, canola, sunflower, etc.), and sugar. Choose an animal-based diet instead. For detailed information about the animal based diet, check out the link on the left.

Possible Causes

Dental caries aka cavities, eating too many carbohydrates, sugars, and fats, especially processed foods, insulin resistance
