7 Steps to Life without Type 2 Diabetes!

Diabetic or not, most people’s blood sugar is not balanced. Most of us don’t eat at the proper times and we don’t eat proteins, carbs and fats in the correct proportions. Compounding our poor dietary habits, most of us don’t exercise properly. These are the root causes of type 2 diabetes.

Hi, my name is David. At the beginning of 2017 my doctor gave me the shocking news that I was prediabetic.  After nearly 6 months of research, experimenting, and making permanent lifestyle changes, I figured out how to fix my blood sugar condition. That’s right, I reversed my prediabetes and I’m living with normal blood sugar levels without medications.

What follows are the 7 steps I took to restore my health. Nothing about what I did is revolutionary. What I did is common sense. I took all of these steps for the betterment of my health after careful research.

I published a lot of what I discovered about type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and how it became a serious health epidemic in the U.S., in 7 blog posts. If you have not read these blog posts, I highly recommend doing so before you read my 7 Steps to Life without Type 2 Diabetes. The background information is important and will help you understand the 7 steps I’m about to share with you. You will find them here.

For those with prediabetes and full-blown type 2 diabetes, the most important thing to understand about normalizing your blood sugar is that, in almost all cases, we did it to ourselves. We’re not born with it. It’s not a communicable disease. It’s not passed on to us by our parents. We did it to ourselves.

I did it to myself by:

• Over eating
• Eating the wrong foods
• Having bad eating habits
• Not looking after my digestive system
• Not exercising

In the same way you got yourself into this mess, you can get yourself out of it. Just like I did. But it’s only possible if you’re motivated to make the necessary changes to your lifestyle. That’s what this website is all about.

I didn’t want to live with the serious health threat of diabetes. That’s why I took action and did something about it.

Ironically, this website once belonged to Merck. If you take oral medication for T2DM, you might recognize their name.

Merck is a large supplier of oral antihyperglycemic drugs, including Glucophage® (metformin hydrochloride), used to lower blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetics. By abandoning this website, Merck signaled to me that they had no real interest in helping people reverse their diabetes.

I want to educate the public on the causes and cure for T2DM. My 7 Steps to Life without Type 2 Diabetes is about learning what can be done to reverse your high blood sugar condition, one step at a time. No one said it will be easy, but you can do it if you take action.
