The Diabetes Code: Prevent and Reverse Type 2 Diabetes Naturally (The Wellness Code Book Two) (The Code Series, 2)

Received the book today, haven’t set it down yet!
I should’ve known about this book years ago, been diagnosed 20yrs, the first pages breaks down “what is diabetes” and what it does to our body. I’m loving this book already!! Hey, doctors do not tell us the most important details of every illiness, research is now available online, books,ect. This book is easy to read, a great read, wonderful information, and I can hardly wait to read “how to treat diabetes”.#lifechangetoday

Wonderful, inspiring book
The book is an easy read, and makes so much sense. The best part is that it gives lots of hope and inspiration to overcome a disease that was considered unstoppable and incurable! In 2023, my A1C was a little elevated — right on the cusp of normal and pre-diabetes. My Doctor recommended I read this book and I wish I had done so at that time! However, I did lower my carb intake during the summer and fall, and two A1C tests 3 months apart showed an A1C n the normal range. The holidays came and life got busy, and I slipped back into my normal eating habits. This year when my A1C was tested — it was squarely in the middle of “pre diabetes”. Talk about motivation! But this time I have read the book! In addition to a very low carb diet, I have begun a daily fasting regimen 0f 16 to 19 hours — and already feel better, although I won’t get my blood tested again until next month. In the future, I am considering a 24 hour fast 2-3 times per week.

Lots of information here.
This is the third book I have bought written by Dr. Fung. Full of information. I also follow him on YouTube. One could look if interested in buying his book. I don’t buy as many books as I did when I was young, but I will for this man.

Sugar So Toxic
10-week Update: In total, I lost 15-lbs. in 10-weeks with a 30-hr. fasting regiment. I’ve read women have a harder time with intermittent fasting (IF) b/c our bodies are built for childbearing. So when we fast for long periods of time, our bodies go into starvation mode and the weight won’t come off (at least it didn’t for me). My A1C result was 9.5 so I’m back on insulin but will try the 16-hr. fasting to see if that makes the difference in weight loss (stop eating at 8pm and next meal would be noon). To add to the lack of weight loss, I went onto the Keto diet and didn’t get the right ratio of fat-protein-carbs (75/20/5). For those wanting to do Keto, please make sure to drink 10-12 glasses of water or you’ll suffer MAJOR constipation and/or daily leg cramps. You’ll need to add electrolytes in your water as well – my favorite powder mix is Hydra Surge (dissolves easily and fruit punch taste). For my chocolate cravings, I have a few teaspoonful of Lily’s sugarless chocolate chips (sold at Sprouts, Mollie Stone’s in the baking section). The sugar substitute Erythritol gives a burning sensation on the throat upon eating so stick with liquid Stevia. Cauliflower pizza is a favorite staple for Keto dieters.Original July 20, 2018 Review: I was pre-diabetic in Oct’03. Fast forward to Jun’12, I became insulin-dependent mostly due to work stress. Still, up until last weekend when I read the book, I didn’t paid attention to my diet and my office job is sedentary. I’ve never quite understood what it meant to be diabetic and continued my desserts (even bringing in desserts to work – sorry about that). Dr. Fung is the 1st to teach me that sugar is a toxin without nutritional value (great for the taste buds though), and that it damages the whole body (internal and external) and weakens cell development. If I’m getting older, regeneration is compromised and there’s no medication or procedure to fix diabetic nerve damage. Why aren’t doctors explaining diabetes to their patients in plain English? Dr. Fung does all of this and I read the book in one day. I first started with Metformin, then adding Glyburide, and finally insulin in Jun’12. My diabetes wasn’t managed well and the insulin dosage continued to increase. I was gaining weight despite eating half at every meal mostly Atkins (but still desserts). Dr. Fung’s explanation of insulin forcing the excess glucose into the liver made sense and I started fasting the very next day. I want to restore my liver and rid of the high triglycerides (Slo-Niacin is helping to lower) from the excess glucose.Dr. Fung states that diabetic patients have common cancers as well – I became another statistic in Aug’17 when I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer (Stage 1A) and had a full hysterectomy. Then he mentioned how closely related diabetes and Alzheimer’s Disease are, so strong that it could be called ”Type 3” Diabetes. I don’t want to be another statistic for Alzheimer’s. Other afflictions include skin tags, infertility, dementia, blindness, kidney failure, liver scarring, heart disease, loss of pain sensation and even hair loss. Sugar is horrible for the skin as well (poor circulation and cell regeneration).Dr. Fung pointed out, food for thought (literally), when he states treatment for both Diabetes types 1 and 2 is insulin. How can that be treatment for both diseases at both ends of the spectrum? Diabetes is a growing epidemic b/c the food channels are glorifying sugar-laden cakes and desserts, the cupcake craze, gourmet pizzas, and eating contests/binges. There’s tempting food everywhere. It’s over-indulgence at every turn and we’re doomed if we don’t stop and think what we’re shoving into our mouths. THINK QUALITY INSTEAD OF QUANTITY. I heard on the news recently that 63% of young Americans men have liver disease mostly caused by drinking as well. Poor overworked liver and kidneys.I admit I’m a sugar addict and while I hate to give up my desserts, I MUST IF I WANT TO LIVE LONGER AND HEALTHIER. Once I reach optimum ketosis and my organs start to function as it should be doing, I can afford a few sweet bites occasionally. Thank you Dr. Fung for teaching me all the right stuff. The menu planner has inspired me to re-examine my diet and going back to Atkins and the Keto diet. I told my doctor what I was doing but didn’t tell him I was off my diabetes meds (Metformin and Insulin). So far, my glucose readings are high even after fasting but how can that be when I’m not eating. Does this mean my extra glucose is coming out and working for me? Haven’t been tired and still lots of energy. I took that chance but if you’re worried about stopping your meds, please check with your doctor. I’m testing AM and PM to make sure I’m okay.Read this book but more importantly, give your fatty liver a chance to recoup and function normally again. Get the excess glucose out of your liver, burn your fat and restore your health. BTW, when I’m fasting for 36-hours, I will stop eating at 7:30pm and have breakfast on the 3rd day. You’ll be sleeping at least 10-hrs. of that cycle and miss one full day of eating. On fasting days, it’s mostly liquid (tea, hot broth and water). If I’m really hungry, I’ll have Almased once a day but no solids whatsoever. I’ve lost 3-4 pounds a week so far and not hungry or tired. If you are dizzy, prick your fingers to make sure you haven’t dipped below 60 and/or have some broth for the sodium. On non-fasting days, stick with fresh foods, low-carbs and unprocessed foods. I try to weigh myself on the mornings of fasting days (after eating days) for better results b/c of homeostasis during fasting days when my body is holding back in starvation mode. This means I get to fast 3X days a week (MWF) BUT still eat 4 days a week (TuThSaSu) Keto style. I haven’t been tempted to eat sweets at all (so far). I’m using Emergen-C electrolye replenisher to quash thirst (powder packet into 16-oz. water) and hot water to help with constipation. Good luck!

O livro traz uma visão sobre o diabetes e o papel da insulina, derivado a partir do consumo elevado de açúcares muito interessante. Os esfeitos colaterais do aumento da dosagem da insulina e a forma como são explicados os papéis do fígado e do pâncreas deixaram muito claro como se chega à condição de diabético e dão luz sobre como reverter essa condição. Leitura fluida, para leigos, mas com informações suficientes para ajudar a ter uma ótima compreensão. Recomendo fortemente para quem quer cuidar melhor da saúde.
