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.

About 1 in 11 adults worldwide now have diabetes mellitus (90% of whom have type 2 diabetes) and it has become one of the most common causes of premature death and disability. While other diseases, like smallpox, AIDS and tuberculosis, are now pretty much…
This May Be the Long-Overdue Breakthrough… I waffled between a four or five-star review, but settled on four-star because 1) I haven’t read all of the pertinent scientific literature, and 2) I’m not sure how feasible the Fung protocol is for the average type 2 diabetic (or PWD if you prefer). When I mention diabetes or diabetic hereafter, it’s always type 2 diabetes, not type 1.This book builds on the success of very low-carb eating as a therapeutic approach to type 2 diabetes. But it goes beyond that by advocating frequent…
