The Diabetes Code: Prevent and Reverse Type 2 Diabetes Naturally by Jason Fung: Conversation Starters

Many people paint type 2 diabetes as an inevitable part of modern life, but this is simply not true, says Dr. Jason Fung. The epidemic of type 2 diabetes really only started in the late 1980s. Dr. Fung presents the groundbreaking idea that diabetes is the result of the body's response to frequent overeating of carbohydrates. An effective way to reverse the disease is to stop carbohydrate overconsumption. He introduced the concept of intermittent fasting to the medical community and challenged the common idea among doctors that one should never allow a diabetic to fast. “Why not? That doesn’t make any sense! If they fast, they will reduce their insulin, they will burn off their own sugars and access their fat stores,” he said.
The Diabetes Code is authored by Dr. Fung who also wrote the book The Obesity Code, a bestseller which has been translated in over eight languages including Arabic. He also wrote The Complete Guide to Fasting.
