The Death to Diabetes® Wellness Program is a science-based program that goes beyond just controlling your blood sugar to address the root causes that fuel your diabetes and cause the damage to your cells, blood vessels, and organs. As a result, your body is able to repair the damage, causing your blood glucose to return to the normal range and giving you the opportunity to reverse and defeat your diabetes.
This program uses a multi-faceted approach to attack your diabetes on multiple fronts, with super foods, detox, superior supplements, the right type of exercise, emotional support from our staff, spirituality, testing, the power of real knowledge, etc. This program also leverages your blood glucose testing to verify to you that your health is actually improving. With this verification, you will be more motivated to continue with the program because of the results you're experiencing.

STEP 1: Start your day with a Super Breakfast (which is based upon the "Death to Diabetes" Super Meal Model®).
So, what is the Super Meal Model?
So, why a vegetable plant-based breakfast?
This type of breakfast provides a more sustained level of energy and key nutrients that diabetics (and non-diabetics) are missing when they consume the more traditional grain-based breakfast. Some of those key nutrients (within the 5 key super foods) include Omega-3 EFAs, carotenoids, chlorophyll, magnesium, potassium, chromium, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, fiber, and water. For more information about these key nutrients and the health benefits of vegetables, read this web page.
In addition, by avoiding the grain-based breakfast, diabetics and non-diabetics will not experience the mid-morning “crash” or craving for processed food/beverages. Over time, this type of "super" meal will support blood glucose stabilization, cell repair and the regulation of the body's production and utilization of insulin.
Eating a superior breakfast sets the tone for the rest of the day to enable your body to fight your diabetes. Some diabetics skip breakfast, because they're afraid of the getting high blood sugar readings. But, don't skip breakfast! Skipping breakfast fuels your diabetes just as much as eating the wrong kind of breakfast.

Importance of Super Foods
These super foods perform the same function as the drugs, but without the side effects!
The good news here is that if you embrace these super foods, you will be able to change your body's chemistry such that a few months down the road, we will show you (in our cookbook) how to enjoy your bread, pasta, ice cream, or potato chips -- without having the same adverse reaction to your blood sugar!
Of course, that doesn't mean you can go hog-wild, but, at least, you will be able to once again enjoy life and not be worried about eating the 'wrong' food.

------------------------------------------- The 5 "Dead" Foods
Try to reduce and eventually avoid eating the refined, processed, and starchy "dead" foods such as white bread, wheat bread (made with "enriched" flour), white rice, white pasta, macaroni, white potatoes, and corn; grain-based foods such as cereal, refined oatmeal, grits, porridge, etc.; clear vegetable oils (e.g. corn, soybean, sunflower, safflower, canola); foods that contain high fructose corn syrup, partially hydrogenated oil (trans fats), and refined sugar; and beverages such as soda, diet soda, tap water, and most bottled fruit juices.
In addition, try to avoid non-prescription drugs, prescription drugs (if possible), and recreational drugs, especially alcohol, tobacco, cocaine, heroin, and marijuana.
Read Chapter 6 for a complete list of the "dead" foods that you need to avoid so that you can save your hard-earned money to buy the foods that will help to repair your body. Once your body is repaired, you will save even more money because your body won't require as much fuel (food) to produce the necessary energy; and, you won't be spending money on OTC drugs, prescription drugs, doctor appointments, and chemical-laden "dead" foods.
Read Chapter 6 for a complete list of "super" foods, and Chapter 7 for the components of the Super Meal Model and examples of super meals for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. Also, read Chapter 17 for food tips and recipe ideas. Gradually increase your consumption of super meals to facilitate the body's cleansing and detoxification processes.
Use the Alternative Healthier Foods Table in the book's Appendix to identify healthier versions of your favorite foods and to help in your transitioning from eating poorly to eating more healthy -- without feeling deprived of your favorite foods. Because if you feel deprived, you will revert to eating poorly.
Cleanse/Detoxification
If you want to accelerate your body's repair process, next to eating the 5 super foods, the best thing that you can do is to perform a periodic cleanse/detox of your body, especially the colon, liver, kidneys, lymphatic system, and pancreas. Please note that most wellness programs don't even mention cleanse/detoxing, and those that do fail to mention the pancreas!
Nutritional Supplementation
First of all, if you're taking any supplements, save your money and don't buy anymore vitamins -- until your blood glucose level and health have improved.
Once you have implemented your super meal program, read Chapter 8 about supplements. If possible, work with a licensed nutritionist to perform a nutritional gap analysis to identify any critical nutrients that you are missing from your meals.
Read Chapter 8 to use the 7 key criteria that will help you identify superior food-based nutritional supplements that will provide the critical missing nutrients.
Of course, always talk with your doctor first, especially if you are taking any drugs such as Coumadin (a blood thinner) that may interact with some supplements that perform a similar function, e.g. Omega-3s, garlic.

Emotional Support & Spiritual Health
Having to deal with diabetes and all the changes can be overwhelming. But, there are many ways to cope with all the changes and the stress, including emotional support, stress reduction, spirituality, knowledge acquisition, and coaching/ counseling. Here are some inspirational quotes that may help; and, here is a quote from one of our customers [Thank you, Patty!] that we felt is appropriate when first dealing with diabetes:
"You don't have to get it perfect, you just have to get it going. Babies don't walk the first time they try, but eventually they get it right." Jack Canfield
Learn how to handle stress to prevent yourself from making bad choices such as eating a big bowl of ice cream after breaking up with your partner or after having a rough day at work.
And, don't underestimate the power of God and your inner spirit! Use your spirituality by tapping into that power to help change the negative talk-track in your head and inhibit the influences of the negative people around you. This will help to reduce the stress in your life and prevent depression.
Because of all the demands of managing diabetes and because high blood glucose levels can reduce your serotonin levels, this can possibly lead to state of depression.
The good news is that many cases of depression can be treated with superior nutrition, spirituality, and tips on reducing the stress in your life.
Use one or more of the tips on this web page to help reduce the stress in your life and improve your health emotionally.
If you are a person of faith, read this web page to understand how God plays a role in your health.
Note: There are 3 major reasons why we resist change. Don't let these "excuses" stop you!
The key to exercise is to:
If you just don't have time to exercise, and would like to learn how to perform specific body movements and reduce your exercise to less than 15 minutes a day, sign up for a health coaching session or get the "Exercise & Physical Activity" PDF.
If you want to learn how to use blood glucose testing to control and reverse your Type 2 diabetes, learn more about blood sugar control and get the "Power of BG Testing" PDF.
Warning: It is also important that, if you are taking any diabetic drugs, that your doctor is willing to help you wean off these drugs. Drugs create a chemical dependency within your body that makes it difficult to just stop taking the drugs. In many cases, the diabetic drugs lead to insulin injections, which create an "insulin addiction" trap -- if you take insulin injections for an extended number of years, this sends a signal to the pancreas to reduce its own production of insulin. Then, without the insulin from the pancreas, your body becomes dependent on the insulin injections for the rest of your life!
If you are frustrated with your doctor, you can learn the 3 most important questions to always ask your doctor and learn how to get your doctor to work for you. More importantly, learn what your doctor may not be telling you that could lead to liver or kidney failure! Get the Doctor Visits & Critical Blood Tests PDF for more information.
