Synopsis

Most doctors consider diabetes a one-way street—once you have it, your only option is to manage the symptoms with a restricted diet, close monitoring of blood sugar, and expensive medications. Pharmacist Suzy
Cohen shows that diabetes can be treated instead through safe, natural means, like food and vitamins, rather than strictly relying on prescription drugs. She shifts the focus away from glucose management to a whole body approach, using supplements, minerals, and dietary changes to lose weight, repair cell damage, improve insulin function, and reduce the side effects from prescription drugs, many of which rob nutrients from the body and cause additional symptoms.

This five-step program uses natural alternatives, such as drinking
nutrition-packed green drinks, adding vitamin D and anti-inflammatory supplements, increasing fiber intake, and including minerals in the diet
to help restore the body's own supply of insulin. Diabetes without Drugs explains how patients can protect their heart, kidneys, eyesight, and limbs from the damage often caused by diabetes and shows the impact
that the right foods and the right supplements can make in reducing
blood sugar levels, aiding weight loss, and restoring vibrant health to
everyone with diabetes.

This is an excellent book for anybody trying to gain a healthy perspective on diabetes management.

Goodreads review by Kris on March 27, 2013

This book had some really good information about taking Type 2 diabetes seriously and ways in which to help get it under control. There were chapters on all of the complications that can come with having the disease that I haven't seen in other books. There are detailed lists of supplements and diet......more

It's tough to make an entire culture change, which is what would be required to follow the guidance of this book.
