Comment
Comment: Dr. Whitaker uses NO oral diabetes drugs
Comment: Julian Whitaker, MD, author of the book “Reversing Diabetes”, does not use ANY oral diabetes drugs.
The research shows that elevated blood sugar levels are not the problem.
He has patients walk for 10 minutes after they eat because this is the only time that cells can absorb blood sugar without insulin.
He has said that a study came out in 1973, when he was doing his medical residency at Emory University, which showed that oral diabetes drugs caused more problems than they solved.
He said that the doctor at Emory University he was studying under at the time stopped using all oral diabetes drugs after this study was published.
If you are taking an oral diabetes drug, you may want to read Dr. Whitaker’s book.
