"There may not be a cure for diabetes, but you can learn to master it in only
7 weeks."

If you have been struggling with your diabetes, please read every word on this page. It may be the most important thing you have read since you were diagnosed...

So you have diabetes,

Research shows that up to 70% of people like you have trouble keeping their diabetes under good control and the blood glucose levels of at least a quarter of people with diabetes are always too high and swing wildly.

"Two-thirds of patients with type 2 diabetes do not adequately control their blood sugar, leaving millions of patients vulnerable to the disease's complications." James Thirtle, Diabetes News, UK.

"I think we need to get serious, I want to tell you, none of us are doing well." Jaime A. Davidson, MD, clinical associate professor of internal medicine at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in Dallas.

 

From The Desk Of...
Dr Tony Woolfson
MB BS DM MRCP (UK)

Many people with diabetes have difficulty keeping their blood glucose levels steady. You may have to take pills or give yourself injections. And as if that weren't enough, the pleasure of eating food you enjoy may well have turned into a nightmare of uncertainty and tension – you can't eat what you want when you want it without getting a great big spike in your glucose level.

Along with this, you‘re probably worrying about the complications. It is not surprising that you are worried. The risks you face are real. Yet you may well be feeling that you simply aren't able to keep your diabetes under good control – it’s just too much hard work.

Where do you turn for help?

It's frustrating and downright scary when you don't know where to turn to for help. But you are not alone... Recent surveys show that "over 70% of people with diabetes are dissatisfied with the care they get"

"The doctor won't even see me - I just get 5 minutes with the nurse". Mrs M S, Southampton, UK

"No-one really explains what I need to do, and I just don't understand the handouts they give me."Mr J C, Birmingham, UK

"I can take my meter but I don't think the doctor will be interested in it. I worry he will do an A1c like last time and it will look good and then I will feel stupid." Paul D, Ohio US

You might have been to a bookshop and found a whole heap of books, but you don’t know which to choose. There are so many.

Web sites such as the American Diabetes Association or Diabetes UK offer vast amounts of information, but it's hard to know where to get started.  It's so confusing. There’s just too much to take in.

Relax!

Controlling your diabetes is easier than you think...

There is quite a lot to learn. But I'll tell you a secret - it's much easier than you think!

You just need to understand the principles of what you are doing, and then you learn to apply them. I can show you every step of how to do exactly that.

But first...

Why should you listen to me?

  • I'm an experienced physician with a doctoral research degree. I’m a member of the UK Royal College of Physicians and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine.
  • I've been looking after patients with diabetes for over 30 years.
  • I did my research thesis on the actions of insulin and wrote a book about glucose metabolism in seriously ill hospital patients.
  • I've also worked in family practice and so I understand the issues involved when people look after themselves at home.

More than that:

  • I have a lifelong passion for improving diabetes care, and I have made it my mission to help as many people as possible control or even cure their diabetes.

Diabetes control is NOT about...

It‘s not about juggling tablets,

It's not about playing around with the amount of insulin,

It's not about changing your insulin type, mixing long acting with short acting,

It's not about measuring HbA1c levels,

It's definitely not about turning up at the doctor’s every couple of months to find that your diabetes has not been well controlled.

And it's definitely not about hearing another lecture on how you should do better.

That doesn't help... that just hurts.

Let me tell you what it is all about.

It's all about You!

It’s about encouraging you.

It's about empowering you.

It's about YOU deciding that you want to take control of your condition and then working to cure your diabetes.

The missing ingredient in 95%
of all diabetes control plans is Diet

Too many doctors focus on insulin or tablets and lectures and almost nobody focuses on the holistic approach with emphasis on the main cause of blood sugar level fluctuation. The main ingredient of an effective control plan is diet.

It is obvious really. If you eat a whole lot of refined sugar, your blood glucose level will shoot up, and you will have to adjust your tablets or your insulin to take account of that . If you eat less, or you take your carbohydrate in a form where sugar is digested and released much more slowly, it is much easier to judge exactly what you need to do with your medications.

Furthermore, it is the spikes in blood glucose levels that damage your pancreas and your other organs. Simple changes in your diet can make all the difference to your control and your future.

The right diet will improve your control and can effectively cure* your diabetes!

*in that you no longer need to take tablets or insulin for it.

Why should you believe this?

Because people applying some or all of these principles have always gained better control of their diabetes, and some no longer need to take treatment for it .

Here is a real case study...

Mr R B developed Type 1 diabetes when he was 12 years old. He and his parents did their best to control his blood sugar levels, but this proved to be very difficult. His doctor put him on a low fat, high carbohydrate diet which made his insulin requirements go up a lot. His blood fat levels were way out of control and he developed nerve and circulation problems in his legs. He got heart problems, cataracts, and at one point his sight was in danger.

He started measuring his blood glucose levels frequently and tried to keep them normal at all times, mainly through changes in his diet. Within a year he was feeling much better, his cholesterol had fallen to normal despite the fact that he was eating quite a lot of fat, his insulin requirements had fallen to one sixth of what they were before, his circulation had improved and his nerve and eye problems had almost gone.

He is now in his seventies, extremely fit and completely free from any diabetes complications.

Others have used the same approach:-

"My blood glucose levels are now consistently within or near the normal range.. I now feel that I'm in control of my diabetes rather than the other way round." Mr A D. Doncaster, UK

Good News - You can at the very least significantly reduce your dependence on pills and insulin!

Now I know what you may be thinking.

"Will I have to give up everything I love?"

"Can't I ever have Ben and Jerry's Ice cream/ my Sunday Breakfast fry-up/ fish and chips/lemon meringue pie again?"

"Must I eat like a rabbit for the rest of my life?"

NO! Certainly Not!

You don't have to be a Slave to your Diet!

You can manage your diabetes and still enjoy the foods that you love...

You can even cure your diabetes without giving it all up...

But let's be realistic here...

If your daily diet consists of...

A dozen eggs,

2 big bags of potato chips

3 scoops of ice cream with fudge topping followed by lemon meringue pie and cream

Thick sliced white bread with lots of butter with every course of your meals

A 12 oz steak with chips, fried onions, fried mushrooms and gravy

4 bowls of Coco Pops with full fat milk

All washed down with a big bottle of Coca Cola,

You have no hope of controlling your diabetes.

You have heard the definition of insanity right?

"Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result"

"You can't control your diabetes
without making changes"

That's exactly where I come in... I will show you the exact changes that you need to make in your life to finally 'Master Your Diabetes'.

After all, getting your glucose control sorted out has been shown to slow the progress of diabetes, cut the complications or even reverse the condition.

Diabetes can be cured* and I want to show you how

I believe that at least one third of people with Type 2 diabetes can in all practical senses be cured (*that is, not needing any tablets or insulin), and that EVERYONE with diabetes can improve the quality, and probably the length of their lives.

I’m not the only one who believes this – many others do too – but I am one of the very few who can show you, step by step, how easy it can be to get yourself on the road to diabetes mastery.

Just by making the simple changes in your diet and your life that you will learn about at DiabetesDietDoctor.com.

So what is this going to cost you?

To be honest, I have found it difficult to put a price on this, mainly because this type of structured, step by step, personal learning about diabetes is not available anywhere else, as far as I know.

But you know what medical consultations can cost, and I can tell you that when I have developed similar materials for other people, I have charged my time at more than $200 per hour.

On the other hand, this venture is brand new, content will be added as we go along, and the knowledgebase will take some time grow if it is to answer every question about diabetes.

I have therefore decided to reward my first members by starting with a very low introductory price of only $14.97 (£7.60, €9.58) a month, and that price will be fixed for as long as you remain a member.

This offer will obviously be limited in time, and I expect the price to rise considerably in the not too distant future.

PLUS there is absolutely no risk with my...

"It Works For You Or It's Free"
100% 30 Day Money Back Guarantee!

I am confident that you will benefit from membership of DiabetesDietDoctor.com, but I recognise that my approach may not suit everybody.

If, after the first month, you are not entirely  happy with the information and personal help you are receiving, simply tell me and I will refund you the membership fees you have paid.

No questions. No hoops to jump through. You either get the results you want and are 100% happy or you get a full refund as soon as humanly possible, all you have to do is contact me.

That's fair isn't it?
