The World Health Organization says type 2 diabetes as becoming the 7th leading killer by 2030...

And it's the side effects that kill diabetics more than anything else...

Such as...

• Heart disease: death rates are at least 1.7 times higher for type 2 diabetics [^cf2] than non-diabetics...

• Amputation: 60% of lower limb amputations happened to diabetics [^cf3]...

• Permanent Blindness or Eye Problems: nearly 28.5%+ of diabetics had damaged vision in 2008[^cf4]...

• Kidney Disease: type 2 diabetes was the cause of kidney failure in 44% of cases in 2011 and 228,924 people were hooked to a dialysis machine like it was a "ball and chain"[^cf5]...

• Poor Memory and Foggy Brain: A study of 141 women aged 63[^cf6] showed that constant high blood sugar has a "negative" impact on your memory and learning...

• And more...

The prescription drugs in use often hurt us in the long run with their side effects... causing everything from nausea or upset stomach to intestinal bleeding...

Often they don't even get your blood sugar to a level you need in a reliable way... [^cf8]

Worst of all?...

A 14 year study of 3336 patients[^cf7] found that diabetics treated with insulin had a 329% increase in death rates from any cause...

Which is worse than being untreated (222%) or using drugs (128%)...

Let me tell you my story:

"Am I going to have to chop off my fingers?!"

That thought ran through my head at a mile a minute as I stared out the window...

My whole body ached all over like I was a rusting tin man...

I gazed down at my fingers which were swollen so bad that they were as thick as one inch German breakfast sausages...

I'd hit rock bottom and I thought I was doomed to go to a surgeon's "hacksaw" operating table...

Two years earlier, all the way back in 2007, I'd been a typical university student in my mid 20's, pretty unremarkable and total clueless as to how dangerous our food system really was...

I was stuffing my face with black forest chocolate cake and desserts while hanging out with my grad friends... guzzling pints of beer, Amaretto and hard liquor and enjoying every minute of it...

Sweet dark chocolate was an obsession...  

I couldn't go a day or two without having one...

I'd gorge myself on dozens of bagels every day to power my one hour runs...

And yet I was ALWAYS starving...  always wanting to eat...

My eyes began turning crimson like spilled blood...

I was always tired and exhausted...

The aches and pains in my joints grew until it hurt to walk...

And my fingers and toes swelled like pipes about to burst...

I battled constant stomach upset and the "runs"...

Plus sleep was always in short supply...  I'd get only three to five at most...

That was only the beginning of the hell and I knew I was missing the "right" information to heal my blood sugar and diabetes...  

There has to be a better way...

And there is...

IF you follow a proven, tried and true eating system that will help you get a grip over your blood sugar situation...

You'll no longer be a slave to your blood sugar and all the frustrations that come with it...

No more sleepless nights...

No more weakness and fatigue...

No more depression and worry about your future or your family's...

You'll look and feel better and more energized than you have in years...

And you'll be smarter and wiser for solving your blood sugar challenges by yourself...

Able to enjoy all the things you couldn't while you were trapped by type 2 diabetes...

In the next lesson you'll learn about the myths that may be holding you back from real freedom... so stay tuned!
