The Scariest Thing About Diabetes What's the scariest health threat facing people with diabetes? Without a doubt, it's heart attack For 75% of all diabetics, heart attack will be the cause of death - including those on diabetes drugs who are following their doctor's orders to a "T." Here's why... Blood sugar (glucose) is highly inflammatory in your arteries. So is insulin. And together, they're a deadly combination. Elevated levels of both are like a wildfire sweeping though your bloodstream, burning the delicate linings of blood vessels until they are raw and diseased. This extreme inflammatory response then triggers the formation of plaque to cover these artery burns. And we know that the more plaque in our arteries, the greater our chances of a heart attack or stroke. Diabetes drugs don't stop this damage In fact, many diabetes drugs make things worse. Two large studies in America and in Australia demonstrated that using glucose-lowering drugs and insulin to control blood sugar provided no reduction in heart attack rates or death from diabetic complications. In fact, this approach significantly increased the number of deaths from heart disease and other causes. This finding was confirmed in 2008 by the famous ACCORD study of 10,000 Type 2 patients. Those in the group reducing blood sugar with aggressive drug therapy had a 22% higher death rate than the control group. Cholesterol-lowering drugs (known as statins) provide almost no protection, either - and actually raise the risk of diabetes in people talking them. The only real solution to Type 2 There's only one strategy that's proven to reduce your risk of artery disease and heart attack if you have diabetes. That's by shunning the foods and beverages that jack-up your blood sugar, so you can get off all these dangerous drugs entirely... ...and switching to a diabetes-healing diet that can stabilize your blood sugar levels naturally and help repair your arteries. In fact, Type 2 diabetes can be completely reversed in as little as 30 days with drug-free approach. Thousands of people have already succeeded - and you can too. Click here to learn more.
