for newbies only Jun 19, 2009 This book is for newly diagnosed only, i found no new information here; just a slightly interesting story by a nice person.
Off my medication and Blood Sugar under control! May 31, 2009 I purchased this book because I wasn't going to live with Diabetes Type 2 for the rest of my life. I was diagnosed in January of 2008 and had no idea what to do as far as treatment. My doctor said "you have type 2 diabetes... take these pills twice a day and I'll see you in 6 months." For a whole year I took the pills, didn't really make any diet modifications and one year later I was really no better although I didn't feel "sick." I was still fatigued, hadn't lost weight (I was only 197 lbs and 6' when diagnosed)and wondering what this silent killer was doing prompted me to do something.
In April of 2009 I purchased Death to Diabetes and devoured it. I knew from what I read about the author that if he could make those kinds of changes he did and in effect heal himself, then so could I. I would be the first to agree with anyone that some or all of the things he recommends that you have to leave behind in order to change and get well could be very difficult to do. I knew that staying the path of medications and eating incorrectly wasn't going to do it for me. Someone else wrote a review of the book and mentioned the 5 death foods and the 5 live foods the author talks about in the book. If you pay attention to anything it is that section and making sure you have 3-4 good accurate readings per day on your glucometer (he tells you how). Only then when the changes occur, will you be able to see and record the differences.
I began my radical lifestyle change based solely on this book on April 8th. That day my 9am blood sugar was 253, at 11am 2 hours after eating it was 235 and at 8pm, 2 hours after eating it was 180. On that day anything with sugar or anything that could convert to bad sugar I eliminated. All white flour and anything containing white flour I eliminated. All saturated fats went with it and any alcohol also. No soda, no pizza, no pasta, no deep fried, no read meat, no take out....I wasn't going to let society and their television ads dictate how I was going to eat. And I began an exercise program that included walking 3-5 miles a day. Armed with this book, I knew I could make the changes with help from a guy who made total sense with every word I read.
On May 19th, I went in for another follow-up check-up. Based on my blood sugar records I took daily which had now dropped to the 75-136 range coupled with my estimated average glucose (eAG) test that indicated my blood sugar went from 151 to 130 I was now seeing changes. In addition, my cholesterol went from 194 to 157 and my triglyceride level went from 105 to 58. I was taken off all medication by my doctor and have now really loved to enjoy the foods that are good for you. Without this book, it would never have happened. I needed a road map and this was perfect! It all just made perfect sense.
I might also add that when I read the verse that DeWayne referenced in the book: Hosea 4:6 "My people perish for lack of knowledge." I agree. Buy the book, get the knowledge and make a change. This is the only disease out there that you alone can alter the course of.
The ONLY book a diabetic needs! With cookbook of course. Nov 17, 2008 Thank you Dewayne for sharing what you have learned with all of the rest of us. I am so grateful for the courage he had to not only get through his experience but keep going on to success in what must have been a very scary situation. He had no example before him to follow. I cant say enough good about this book!I have read and re-read it and will continue to do so until I also am no longer a diabetic.I am getting every diabetic person I know to read the book. I have learned from my own personal experience that what he is saying is the truth. I just ordered his cookbook.I started following the advice in his book and my numbers went to normal for the first time probably since I was a teen.

Extremism is not a good thing. Oct 30, 2008 Perhaps it is true, but anecdotal evidence is not good evidence. Perhaps this worked for the author, but having consulted a couple of Dr.s, (also anecdotal), it has been suggested to me that I should consider something a bit more balanced. It is possible to end diabetes, without having to go to such extremes.
Death to Diabetes Oct 21, 2008 This book has helped me considerably! I have recommended this book to everyone that I know suffering from diabetes. This is a 'Must have' for Type II's!
