In 1997, the American Diabetes Association lowered the threshold for diabetes diagnosis overnight—turning 41 million healthy Americans into "pre-diabetics." Today, diabetes drugs generate more revenue than Apple and Google combined, while natural solutions are suppressed. The truth? Type 2 diabetes is 100% reversible in most cases—but curing patients isn’t profitable.

The Diagnosis Scam

Old Criteria (1996):

• Fasting blood sugar >140 mg/dL = diabetic

New Criteria (1997):

• Fasting blood sugar >126 mg/dL = diabetic

• 5.7-6.4% A1C = "pre-diabetes" (a condition that didn’t exist before 2009)

Result?

• Diabetes drug prescriptions tripled

• Annual industry revenue grew from 5B to 500B

"They medicalized normal aging. Blood sugar naturally rises slightly with age—that’s not a disease." — Dr. Jason Fung

5 Ways Diabetes Drugs Make You Sicker

1. Weight Gain Insulin therapy causes 15-30 lb average gain

2. Heart Failure SGLT2 inhibitors double UTI/kidney infection risk

3. Pancreatic Burnout Sulfonylureas accelerate beta cell death

4. Bone Fractures TZDs increase fracture risk by 300% in women

5. Gut Damage Metformin destroys microbiome diversity

The Natural Cure Big Pharma Hides

1. Intermittent Fasting

• 16-hour fasts reverse insulin resistance in 3 weeks

2. Cold Therapy

• 30 sec cold showers increase insulin sensitivity 40%

3. Mineral Repletion

• Chromium & Vanadium restore glucose metabolism

4. Movement Snacks

• 2 min walks after meals cut blood sugar spikes 50%

5. Sleep Optimization

• 1 night of poor sleep = next-day insulin resistance

When Medication Actually Helps

Only consider if:

• Type 1 diabetes (absolute insulin deficiency)

• Advanced Type 2 (pancreas severely damaged)

• Short-term use while implementing lifestyle changes

Final Thought:"Diabetes isn’t caused by lack of drugs—it’s caused by lack of movement, real food, and natural light. The cure exists, but it’s not for sale."
