At the end of 2022, I was diagnosed with diabetes and was immediately given insulin injections to bring my A1C down. I have a family history of diabetes but lived all my adult life with the threat of it lingering over me, but I controlled it with diet and watching what I eat. The ending of 2022 and the beginning of 2023 have changed my life substantially. So this year will be a journey and blogging about dishes that teach us how to eat to live.

Book Overview
Despite what you might have heard, diabetes is not a lifelong condition. It does not have to shorten your life span or result in high blood pressure, heart disease, kidney failure, blindness, or other life-threatening ailments. In fact, most diabetics can get off medication and become 100 percent healthy in just a few simple steps.
The End of Diabetes, Dr. Joel Fuhrman shows how to prevent and reverse diabetes and its related symptoms and lose weight. The End of Diabetes is a radical idea wrapped in a simple plan: Eat Better, End Diabetes. While the established medical protocol aims to control diabetes by limiting carbohydrate intake, monitoring glucose levels, and prescribing bottomless doses of medicine, Dr. Fuhrman believes this long-standing approach to fighting diabetes is wrong--and possibly fatal.
Designed for anyone ready to enjoy a healthier and longer life, Dr. Fuhrman's plan is based on a single formula: Your Health Future (H) = Nutrients (N) / Calories (C). According to Dr. Fuhrman, foods with a high nutrient density turn our bodies into the miraculous, self-healing machines they can be, resulting in significant weight loss, improved health, and, ultimately, the end of diabetes and other diseases. In engaging, direct, and easy-to-follow language, The End of Diabetes supplies the science and clinical evidence to prove that diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure are not inevitable consequences of aging. Instead, they are reversible and preventable. This simple and effective plan offers great food, starts working immediately, and puts you on a direct path to a longer, better, fuller, disease-free life.
