Publisher's summary

A groundbreaking method to master all types of diabetes by reversing insulin resistance.

Current medical wisdom advises that anyone suffering from diabetes or prediabetes should eat a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet. But in this revolutionary audiobook, Cyrus Khambatta, PhD, and Robby Barbaro, MPH, rely on a century of research to show that advice is misguided. While it may improve short-term blood glucose control, such a diet also increases the long-term risk for chronic diseases like cancer, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, chronic kidney disease, and fatty liver disease.

The revolutionary solution is to eat a low-fat plant-based whole-food diet, the most powerful way to reverse insulin resistance in all types of diabetes: type 1, type 1.5, type 2, prediabetes, and gestational diabetes.

As the creators of the extraordinary and effective Mastering Diabetes Method, Khambatta and Barbaro lay out a step-by-step plan proven to reverse insulin resistance - the root cause of blood glucose variability - while improving overall health and maximizing life expectancy. Armed with more than 800 scientific references and drawing on more than 36 years of personal experience living with type 1 diabetes themselves, the authors show how to eat large quantities of carbohydrate-rich whole foods like bananas, potatoes, and quinoa while decreasing blood glucose, oral medication, and insulin requirements. They also provide life-changing advice on intermittent fasting and daily exercise and offer tips on eating in tricky situations, such as restaurant meals and family dinners. Perhaps best of all: On the Mastering Diabetes Method, you will never go hungry.

With more than 30 delicious, filling, and nutrient-dense recipes and backed by cutting-edge nutritional science, Mastering Diabetes will help you maximize your insulin sensitivity, attain your ideal body weight, improve your digestive health, gain energy, live an active life, and feel the best you've felt in years.

Includes a PDF of recipes and illustrations.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Now I have convince my husband to read this!

What an amazing book. I don't have diabetes but I am glad I read it.
My husband has type 1 and I care for my special needs sister who has type 2 and I found it very helpful in understanding what I can do to help them both manage their insulin sensitivity. I honestly think that everyone should read this book. My husband loves meat and red light foods so it will be difficult to get him on board, but I hope he will at least give it a try and see what results he gets.

Excellent resource for those struggling to master their diabetes. As a Type 1 diabetic for 15 years, this book completely changed my approach. I’ve seen tremendous improvements and am enjoying the process.

my life is already so different

i just finished rereading this book. as a type 1, this was a re-education i desperately needed. and so much new information i've literally never heard from anyone else in the diabetic community. thank you for working so hard to share this far and wide. i am so excited about the new path laid before me.

Learned alot

Alot of good information to be able to add to my daily life! Thank you

A Complete Guide

As I listened to the audiobook, every question that popped into my mind on a topic was literally answered in the upcoming sentences. I greatly appreciate all the details and explanations that helped me understand insulin resistance and what I can do about it. While trying to transition to a low fat WFPB diet, I have had trouble knowing what a meal should look like in terms of portion size. This is the first resource I've read that answered that question. Love, love , love the meal plan that includes simple to prepare meals. The book is so practical, that I for the first time, I feel like this is doable. It is obvious this comes from lived experience. Thank you Cyrus and Robby!

All about being vegan which isn't for me anymore

got through the first two chapters and had enough. too much vegan propaganda. i was vegan for 5 years and never felt that great doing it so i walked away.
