If you have had diabetes for forty years, you must begin by firing your doctor, who is without any possibility of disputation, a moron or a criminal.   Diagnosed 11 years ago with acute diabetes, told I would have to take insulin shots every day.  M O R O N S!  To this day, not a single dose of insulin has been introduced into my body.  It only encourages your body to stay sicker   1) If you stop asking your pancreas to produce insulin. Avoid carbs after lunchtime and keep them low for breakfast. If you're eating oatmeal, for example, add some cinammon; it lowers the glycemic indexand supplement with chromium, it should not take more than 100 days or so for you to be free of diabetes.   MAGICAL SECRET: Anything you eat that has any notable glycemic index? Just eat 6 to 12 "raw" almonds before eating the food. Even ice cream's glycemic index is lowered significantly when you eat those almonds.   2) No one in the diabetes industry wants to cure this scourge, not with 18 million people testing themselves at many dollars per day, plus the drugs.   Stop listening to people who have a financial interest in your being sick.  Approximately EVERYTHING but death itself has natural answers, and triply so when you use QRA (Quantum Reflex Analysis).   Learn more so you can live more!!  I follow Dr. David Cohen's advice, and have reaped so many healthful benefits.   Wishing all of you the very best outcomes, you might also want to listen to Dr. Bob Marshall on Healthline broadcasts. The man and his wife are prolific health innovators. Dr. Cohen is one of his hundreds of referral practitioners. QRA is 21st century nutrition for people who seek to get away from the medical paradigm that does not serve our best interests.
