I Turned My Husband Into A Human Guinea Pig… And Banished His Diabetes For Good!
Diabetes ruined my wedding night and I was out for revenge. I set out to learn everything I could about controlling and curing the disease. Not just because of what happened on my wedding night, but because I was scared for my husband and I didn’t want to lose him if there was a way to avoid it.
Here’s what you need to know about me: When I set my mind to something… I get it done. I’m stubborn… and that’s putting in lightly.
So I dove in headfirst. I talked to dozens of doctors consulted with naturopaths, picked the brains of nutritionists and meet up with anyone I could find who had successfully beaten diabetes.
We've known forever that a low fat diet can protect against cardiovascular disease--now there's evidence suggesting that it fights diabetes too. Researchers found that overdoing it on fatty foods appears to suppress the action of GnT-4a, the single gene that controls the production of the hormone insulin, which keeps blood sugar (glucose) levels in check. Consistently elevated glucose is the hallmark of diabetes. The results of the study, which was done on mice, have the potential to explain how diet influences the development of type II diabetes in people. Scientists are now trying to find out why the gene fails--and how to correct it.
But you don't have to wait to take action: Trimming the fat out of your diet is an overall healthy move.
