Let Us Tell You More About the Book...

In Mastering Diabetes, Cyrus Khambatta, PhD, and Robby Barbaro, MPH detail their revolutionary method to reverse insulin resistance (the root cause of blood glucose variability) by eating carbohydrate-rich foods, intermittent fasting, and daily movement. The Mastering Diabetes method decreases overall chronic disease risk and maximizes life expectancy for people living with all forms of diabetes, including type 1, type 1.5, type 2, prediabetes and gestational diabetes.

 

Grounded in cutting-edge science, Mastering Diabetes teaches you why the current medical guidelines to eat a low-carb, high-fat diet actually increases your chronic disease risk even though they may improve short-term blood glucose control. This book will teach you how to minimize your risk for diabetes complications including coronary artery disease, atherosclerosis, cancer, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity, peripheral neuropathy, retinopathy, Alzheimer’s disease, chronic kidney disease, and fatty liver disease.

 

Cyrus Khambatta, PhD and Robby Barbaro, MPH are experts on insulin resistance and are both living with type 1 diabetes. They have helped thousands of people transform their diabetes health using their food as medicine. 


Mastering Diabetes will reshape the way you think about diabetes and give you powerful tools and strategies to transform your nutrition from the inside out – whether you are hoping to reverse insulin resistance, lose weight, gain energy, reduce or eliminate your medication use today and for many years in the future.
