Dr. Neal Barnard’s Program for Reversing Diabetes by Neal D. Barnard
Most health professionals once believed that once you developed diabetes, you were stuck with it–and could anticipate one complication after another, from worsening eyesight and nerve symptoms to heart and kidney problems. But as this groundbreaking work reveals, this simply is not true. In a series of studies Dr. Barnard has shown that it is possible to repair insulin function and reverse type 2 diabetes. By following his life-changing program, diabetics can control blood sugar three times more effectively than with the standard diet and cut back on and in some cases eliminate medications while reducing the risk of diabetes complications.
