About this ebook
From the author of "HOW TO REVERSE YOUR DIABETES (If You Really Mean It)"
The first step in reversing type 2 diabetes is getting rid of the diabetes medication while maintaining a healthy fasting glucose level. Even if you are not yet ready to go all the way and do what it takes to permanently reverse your diabetes, merely accomplishing this initial goal is a huge step forward.
I started out with a startling 12.1% A1C and 312 mg/dl fasting glucose. Using the technique described in this book, I lowered my A1C to 5.8% and my fasting glucose to 102 mg/dl - without any diabetes medication.

Type 2 Diabetes is reversible!
It's official: type 2 diabetes can be reversed. The evidence presented by Newcastle University Professor Roy Taylor, at the European Association For The Study Of Diabetes meeting in Lisbon, on September 11, 2017, leaves no doubt.
I have come up with a simple way to find the path that was right for me and I have collected all the information you need in a short, quick guide: The Secret Life of Your Blood Sugar.
However, accomplishing a final reversal of this condition takes time. Before engaging in that ambitious goal, it is important to prove to ourselves that we can achieve control of our glucose level without medication. That is the main purpose of this book. Indeed, such results may be sufficient for some people, but I suggest that you look at it as a first step toward making your achievement permanent.
I have gone all the way and achieved complete reversal of my type 2 diabetes, with an A1C of 5.7 and fasting glucose levels in the 90s. However, tackling a complete reversal of the condition may be daunting if you don't have the conviction that comes from proving to yourself that you are capable of doing it. If you are already determined to reverse your diabetes, you may want to skip this book and read HOW TO REVERSE YOUR DIABETES (If You Really Mean It) instead. Part 1 of that book incorporates the information found in this one. However, if you prefer a more gradual approach and want to build your confidence first, you should start with The Secret Life of Your Blood Sugar.
In this book, you will find a detailed explanation of the various stages and things you need to cover in your journey to better health, together with screen shots of my own test results that will show you how well what I am advocating worked for me.
A word of warning: This book is not for you, if you expect to find a magic formula between its pages that will let you effortlessly fix your problem. It will tell you many things that you need to know; it will give you important information and will teach you how to use it to pursue your own solution. But no miracles are included. Getting well comes with hard work.
You Owe it to Yourself
It only took me less than two weeks to realize that I was on the right path. Don't you want to find out if you can do it too? Not everybody can succeed. It takes strength of character and resolve to do it, but if you believe in yourself, you can get better.
This is a very small investment in yourself. You will read this guide in one sitting and will see your progress in a matter of days. You will stop taking diabetes medications when you feel confident that you can do it, and will be amazed seeing your blood sugar stay low.

Introduction
Some people are good at looking the other way when their body tells them that something is wrong with them. I had being doing it successfully for quite some time, but come March of 2016, I could no longer ignore the fact that I wasn’t feeling well. My doctor recommended an extensive blood test, which came back on March 10 and ruined my day (and much of my life after that). My fasting plasma glucose level (FPG) (affectionately called blood sugar
) was 312 mg/dl—way above the recommended level of 100—and my HbA1C (which tells you how your blood sugar level has been doing in the past three months or so) was at an astronomic 12.1% (the maximum recommended level of a healthy person being 5.7%).
With those numbers, I had to do something immediately, or I was in line for hideous diseases and premature death. My doctor immediately placed me on strong medication. As a result, only three months later, on June 21, 2016, my fasting blood sugar level had dropped to 138 mg/dl and my HbA1C to a mere 6%. That’s great, right? Wrong!
Fast forward eight months to February 14, 2017. My fasting blood sugar level had gone up to 157 mg/dl, and my HbA1C to 6.8%. The efficacy of the treatment was obviously diminishing, and I started to recall people telling me that, once you start on the path of blood sugar medication, you may end up injecting insulin. I wasn’t going to take that lying down.
When you become diabetic, you want to think that it is an Act of God, that you are not responsible for it. It’s just the world being mean to you. But while obviously in some cases diabetes may be due to your genetic makeup or to other causes over which you have no control, that’s untrue for most people. The reading and reasoning that I had done over the months since that fateful morning in March had convinced me that I had been causing it to myself with my own hands. I had been overeating and, what’s worse, eating the wrong kinds of food. I was overweight and wasn’t exercising enough. I reasoned that what I did to myself I might perhaps undo, if I could just find and follow the right path.
It took me five more months to prove that I was right and that managing my blood sugar level without taking drugs was possible. After stopping taking medication altogether for three and a half months (after a thorough, responsible, and careful priming period), I took a new blood test, on July 19, 2017. My fasting blood sugar was 102 mg/dl and my HbA1C was 5.8%. I’ll say it again: I’m taking no medication! If you read on, I’ll share my test results with you in detail.
I’m not going to tell you that what I did was easy and required no effort. But if you haven’t ruined your pancreas for good and you follow my example with perseverance and motivation, you may be able to accomplish the same result that I did, or even better. Hundreds of people that I know of have done the same. This appears to be the best-kept secret of the medical profession: In the majority of cases you can rid yourself of type 2 diabetes.
That doesn’t mean that at that point you will be able to start wolfing down sugar again like there’s no tomorrow, mind you. It means that you can lead a satisfactory life, remaining mindful of what you eat and how you run your day, without feeling that you are missing out on anything.
In tackling my problem I had the help of a coach, to whom I’ll give due credit in the pages to follow, but most people don’t have access to someone like
