WHY DIABETES IS A REVERSIBLE CONDITION Diabetes is the leading cause of heart disease, and eye and kidney complications. The cost of diabetes treatment in terms of not just financial, but also time, stress, family impact can be excessively prohibitive. A diagnosis of diabetes can be a sentence for life. Diabetes can shorten life by ten to fifteen years. It is distressing to realize that we doctors are complicit in propagating this falsehood. However, nothing can be further from the truth. We have been conditioned to believe that diabetes is a chronic, progressive condition which will stay with us and we have to resign ourselves to suffer its complications. This is what we are taught in medical college and our entire treatment focus is geared to suppressing the symptom of diabetes, the high blood sugar levels. But this does NOTHING to prevent the development of complications. Type II Diabetes is 100% reversible and this can be carried out safely, quickly, predictably and completely.
