So here's the skinny on Diabetes.  Medicine can't cure it! There is no physiological reason to give a type II diabetic (95% of all diabetes) insulin yet it happens every day.  1 out of every 3 Americans have this unnecessary condition.  It is the most easily preventable illness next to heart disease.  Every day I see it in my clinic and every day I see to it that it is controlled and for the most part cured without the use of pharmaceuticals.  Diet and exercise doesn't fail.  Drug companies have marketed so well over the past 50 years and created a subliminal feeling that diet and exercise can fail so that they can generated profits of 7.8 billion dollars a year.

Let's look at a diet schedule for diabetics that can dramatically change blood sugar levels and if combined with the correct supplements can allow the pancreas to regenerate and repair and return to it's innate abilities.
