Diabetes continues to be the leading cause of end-stage Kidney-disease, 70% of diabetics suffer from neurological symptoms, over 60% of all lower limb amputations occur with diabetics. Modern drugs and surgery offer no cure for diabetics.

As carbohydrate intake goes up and fat intake goes down, the number of deaths from diabetics plummets from 20.4 to 2.9 per 100,000 people.  So what does that tell you....eating a plant-based, whole grain diet is the key.
