For example, diabetics and non-diabetics would skip breakfast to try to lose weight, or diabetics thought by skipping breakfast, they could keep their blood glucose from rising.

Based on working with thousands of diabetics, we hear the same story over and over. It goes something like this:

Once you're diagnosed with diabetes, your doctor may suggest that you try diet and exercise,  and refer you to a local diabetes educator, dietitian or nutritionist -- knowing full well that you're going to fail.

You try to eat better and exercise, but life is just too busy to make a lot of changes - especially when we love certain foods that we've been eating for the last 20-30 years.

Eventually, your doctor tells you that you have to go on a diabetic drug like metformin (Glucophage), which is the most common drug (in pill form) for Type 2 diabetics.

Note; This is the most common method for treating diabetics initially, but it should be  the least common method and should be used as a last resort!

Unfortunately, many of us choose drugs as our first option because drugs are convenient, and we mistakenly believe that the drugs give us a free pass such that we can continue to stuff our mouths with the junk food that's killing us.

So, you start out taking one diabetic drug, usually metformin (Glucophage) -- usually 500mg  or 1000mg twice a day.

We believe the drugs are really working because our blood sugar level comes down once we start taking the drug. And, we relax, thinking everything is okay.

Eventually, over a period of years, your diabetes gets worse so your doctor gives you another pill. In addition, your doctor  puts you on a high blood pressure drug (i.e. ACE inhibitor such as Lisinopril, a water pill such as hydrochlorothiazide, HCTZ) and a high cholesterol drug (i.e. a statin drug such as Lipitor).

In the meantime, your diabetes gets worse because the drugs aren't really doing anything to fight the diabetes -- but, you're now taking 4 or 5 or 6 different drugs! (Some people take as many as 16 different drugs!)

Then, it's just a matter of time before you begin experiencing one or more of the complications of diabetes. Usually, it's the kidneys (protein leaking in the urine) or the eyes (blurry vision), sores or ulcers on the legs or feet, or you begin feeling pain or tingling in your feet.

You may also begin feeling really  tired all the time, you're gaining more weight, you notice sores and cuts are not healing as fast, and you lose interest in sex -- not because you don't want to, but because you can't! Men especially suffer with erectile dysfunction -- but, they just take another pill!

These complications lead to more drugs, and eventually kidney dialysis, surgery on the eyes , surgery on the lower limbs or feet (amputation), and more visits to the hospital, followed up by hospice or home care.

Unfortunately, during this time, the diabetic pills stop working, so your doctor eventually puts you on insulin. You're surprised and shocked that you have to go on insulin, but eventually you give in because your blood sugar is coming down.

Once you start taking insulin, you begin to gain even more weight! -Why? Because insulin is a fat-storage hormone that makes us fat! And, as we get fatter, we require even more insulin! This is known as the "insulin addiction trap", which is explained in the book "Death to Diabetes".

So, did any of this sound familiar to you?

The sad thing about all of this is that it was all preventable! And, you can still stop it today! It's not too late! However, you must want to stop it -- you're the only one who can ...

Author's Note: I know this is hard to believe, but, think about it: Have you ever heard of anyone really getting better once they started taking the diabetic pills?

Note: If you want to read why the author designed the Death to Diabetes book against the recommendations of various experts, read The Book's Detailed Description (The Story Behind Book's Design). This web page also provides a detailed description of the book's contents, as told by the author.

Wake Up People!

The Drug Companies Are Laughing at Us!
During a medical conference, after Mr. McCulley gave one of his inspirational talks, a couple of the pharmaceutical company reps told him:
"You have a great story, but you're wasting your time. People won't listen to you. People prefer to take our drugs instead of change the way they eat. It's easier to pop up pill than change your diet."

Mr. McCulley disagreed with them, but they said: "Okay, you're an engineer, right? Just take a look at the numbers: There are millions of diabetics who take our drugs, and we make billions of dollars off those drugs, and our revenues are going up every year."

Another pharmaceutical rep said: "And, it's not just the diabetes drugs. We make a lot of money off the pain medications, the cholesterol drugs, and high blood pressure drugs -- just to name a few."

The first pharmaceutical rep said: "People are hypocrites." They tell you they love your story, but they don't buy your book. Instead, they buy our drugs."

Another pharmaceutical rep joined the conversation, and said: "I heard you mention that you're trying to get on TV, radio, and Facebook.  You're wasting your time. We control a lot of the TV ads. TV isn't going to risk losing big revenue from us to air your story. Radio is passé -- who listens to the radio? And, forget about Facebook! People don't want to hear about diabetes and dieting on Facebook. People like to gossip -- that's why Facebook is so popular."

The second rep: "Yeah, you should give up while you still have your dignity."

Mr. McCulley was steaming on the inside, but he smiled and said: "You underestimate the will of the people. They're tired of being lied to, they're tired of being sick and relying on your drugs. They're going to rise up against you and reject your drugs. It's already starting to happen.  People are smarter and more resourceful than you think. You'll see ..."

All the reps walked away from Mr. McCulley, laughing loudly and shaking their heads ...

[Mr. McCulley told us later: "Wow, nobody is going to believe this! I wished I had taped that conversation ...]
