Publisher's summary

From acclaimed author Dr. Jason Fung, a revolutionary guide to reversing diabetes.

Dr. Jason Fung forever changed the way we think about obesity with his best-selling book, The Obesity Code. Now he has set out to do the same for type 2 diabetes.

Today, most doctors, dietitians, and even diabetes specialists consider type 2 diabetes to be a chronic and progressive disease - a life sentence with no possibility of parole. But the truth, as Dr. Fung reveals in this paradigm-shifting book, is that type 2 diabetes is reversible. Writing with clear, persuasive language, he explains why conventional treatments that rely on insulin or other blood-glucose-lowering drugs can actually exacerbate the problem, leading to significant weight gain and even heart disease. The only way to treat type 2 diabetes effectively, he argues, is proper dieting and intermittent fasting - not medication.

Thank you

I was newly diagnosed with Type 2 after hovering around it for some time. I was so frustrated because I am a very logical person and I was seeking logic where not much exists. I perused a book before this one that insisted that managing diabetes would be hard and complicated. Of course one would do what one has to do, but REALLY????
I knew that diet was key but along with it the intermittent fasting is brilliant. I can follow instructions but I couldn’t figure out why a complex carb and fat restricted Vegan diet kept my a1c in check as did general carb restriction with meat and fat. Now I know!!
Armed with this powerful and sensible information I know that I can cure myself without the drugs.
When my last reading went from hovering around 6.5 to 9, I was scared into accepting the fate of drugs. I was so frustrated not knowing how to eat after the Vegan experience I figured that I would be ok as long as I continued to exercise and keep my weight in check. WRONG! The high A1c freaked me out and now I now how it happened. I was eating too much and drinking too much because I had basically given up trying to figure it out (and because I had a new boyfriend after losing my husband of 16 years to cancer and we were having too much fun!).

Thank you Jason for writing this book. I only wish I had discovered it sooner. Now I know what to do and I know it will work. And the new boyfriend is very supportive.

What every physician should read

If there's one book I wish my doctor would read it's this one. But since my physician and your physician are probably both too busy to read it, if you are a type 2 diabetic or heading in that direction, you should.

There is some overlap between this book and his other book Obesity Code, as there should be. And what he says is so important it needs to be read twice anyway.

Hope and Tools for Diabetics

Fantastic overview of the history of diabetes as well as the events surrounding the current diabetes epidemic. Gives solid and useful information and advice to those who have been diagnosed—including tools needed to deal with the doctors handing out pills and poor advice. Every person should read this book, diabetic or not.

Excellent book

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I have also read his previous book The Obesity Code. Since I am a nutritionist this is a relevant topic and helps me professionally as well as personally. Highly recommend.

Thanks Dr Fung for addressing this vital topic to American health!

This is the third book I've read by Dr. Fung and it did not disappoint! Easy to follow, logically explained and informative. The only thing I would like to see is some more explanation on the process of ketosis, optimal range to be in for fat burning, how glucose levels intersect with it, and what low levels of glucose should be of concern for those with pre-diabetes.

Excellent read

Very informative, well narrated, so happy that Dr Fung himself was the narrator. My mother is a type 2 diabetic for over 30 years and we are now following the book’s steps to, hopefully, get her off of the insulin (fingers crossed). It all makes sense and explained very simplistically, so everyone can understand and follow. I hope there’s a Nobel Prize in Dr Fungs future.

Understand your diabetes in a whole different way!!!

If you are seeking alternative ways to control your type 2 diabetes- this is the book to listen to. I have been following Dr. Fung for about two years now and this book gives me the motivation to keep on the path I have been. Medication free for 12 years and I plan on staying that way!
