Most doctors and health organizations 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. Not so! Author Suzy Cohen believes that you can treat diabetes through safe, natural means, like food and vitamins, rather than strictly relying on prescription drugs. And she shifts the focus away from strict 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. This 5-step program uses natural alternatives-all backed by scientific studies-to help you restore your body's own supply of insulin, the key to keeping blood sugar levels under control. In this breakthrough program, you'll follow these steps: ?Step 1: Drink nutrition-packed green drinks ?Step 2: Add vitamin D supplements ?Step 3: Increase fiber intake ?Step 4: Take glucose-lowering and anti-inflammatory supplements ?Step 5: Include minerals in your diet to boost your natural metabolism By making these five easy changes to your daily routine, you'll protect your heart, kidneys, eyes, and limbs from the damage often caused by diabetes and eliminate some of the complications you may already experience.
