We found a diamond in the rough world of Diabetes!  Today's guest is Dr. Mariela Glandt an Endocrinologist and founder and CEO of OwnaHealth, an online consulting company aimed at reversing diabetes and helping patients ditch their drugs, especially the dreaded Insulin.  After being approached by a best friend who confronted her on how “the medical system” seemed to be backwards in its dietary approach to managing Diabetes, Dr. Glandt reconsidered what she learned in Medical classes.
