Nature's gift to help control diabetes, and provide overall good health

Nature's gift that helps manage diabetes and provide the path to a healthy life.

This couple enjoys cups of herbal tea for energy and good health
Healthy, Relaxing, and Versatile

After reading Diabetic Day Drinking some people get together for a tea party. They sample some of the teas in the book. Guava , persimmon, black tea and chamomile are favorites for taste as well as managing diabetic glucose readings.

Manage Blood Sugar Naturally

Helps Manage Other Health Issues

Though this book focuses on diabetic relief, teas are just as important for other health issues, so one doesn’t have to be diabetic to profit. The 30 drinks may also help promote heart and blood pressure health, weight loss, pain free joints, energy, and cognitive skills.

Teas have fewer side effects than prescription medicine. Most of the 30 teas helped relieve health issues for hundreds and even thousands of years. Many are still medicinal staples in Asian countries.

5.0 out of 5 stars 6 Week Account of Proactively Countering Type 2 Diabetes
Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2013
Verified Purchase
My mother has Type 1 Diabetes and I have seen first hand the havoc it has wreaked on her health. Any medical condition she deals with is further and deeply complicated by her diabetes.

A diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes is, and should be, a sobering pronouncement - but the good news is you have the ability to do something about it. That is what I valued most about Michael Plumstead's 'Reverse Type2 Diabetes in Less Than Six Weeks' - it is his personal account of how he proactively changed his lifestyle to address his blood sugar. He is honest about his challenges and provides many good tips on how to make it work.

This is a short read - there's no lengthy appendix of recipes and routines - though he does share the foods and shakes and preparation tips he found to be most helpful.

In my opinion, nothing is more difficult than dramatic change to eating patterns and choices. With it's no-nonsense prose, this book serves as both a wake up call and an inspiration for healthier living.

Most of the information I already knew. I did try one of the suggestions for drinking gymnema tea, but I don't know if it will help or not. Mr. Plumstead is so enthusiastic that he sometimes is a little hard to believe. But if you want to get yourself motivated, he does have a very positive approach.

This is such a great book not only for the diabetic, but also for the average person who just wants to eat healthy and lose a few pounds. The recipes are not complicated and are very cost effective as well. The book offers a variety of recipes that offer a variety of flavors as opposed to just a bland, tasteless diet. Very well written and easy to follow. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to try eating more healthy and wants to lose weight. For the diabetic this book offers great recipes that are tasty, yet healthy and will not compromise your blood sugars. I would buy from this author again.

1.0 out of 5 stars More of an Article than a Book
Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2014

Here's a "book" that never would have made it in the days when bookstores sold most books. Its an article split into chapters a bit longer than what a woman's mag would publish, but shorter than what you would find in the New Yorker. The gist of it is that the author, who had trouble staying on a low carb diet "reversed" his type 2 diabetes with two weeks of Atkins and other low carb shakes. He lost weight and no longer needs medication though he still uses carb blockers and some natural remedies.

There are a lot of comments in the book that make you wonder if the author's method would be necessary for someone else. For example, he says that he was not able to lose weight using normal methods when he weighed 230 pounds, in other words he could not stay on the low carb diet, though he did lose weight on Atkins years before. I don't hold that against him, we all have problems, but the reader comes away not knowing if the diet was necessary because of that--or if another method less strict than a 600 calorie a day regimen, would have worked.

I have no quarrel with the author's method but this is not a book. It reads like it was written in an afternoon and is both overly personal and short on detail.

Download the sample but keep in mind that there's not much more there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good guide
Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2015

This book says it takes about 1/2 hour to read and it does. It provides a wealth of information in concise terms and outlines a program that an older guy like me can follow to lose weight and lower sugar levels. It has been updated a couple of times and the author has a website where he is willing to accept suggestions and questions about his methods. The only drawback I saw is that he outlines some excellent shakes and while he gives decent detail about the ingredients and how to make them, a short bullet-shopping list would have been helpful. Some lower cost alternative ingredients would have been useful too.

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2021

The book did not have any substance regarding the reversal of type 2 diabetes. It did not lay out or capture steps to take for reversal. It suggested some data from uk, which was limited. It provided little detail on some items the writer thought to be useful. Expected more based on the title of the book.

(Sam) Bought the Book. Found it to be a very interesting read. I am a long, diagnosed Diabetic; who has fought a yo-yo battle for years with overweight. This first person account of Mike's battle with his weight, and Type 2 Diabetes, was something I could relate to on a real basis. His website, [Plumsugarfree.com], and the book have been an inspiration for my renewed efforts to try use a combination of his tips, and my efforts to control my Type 2 Diabetes and weight.
Started wt was between 310/320. B.S. >200.
After about 2.5 months: Wt. is 277/279, and B.S. ranges between 110 and 130.
Goals are to go lower in both categories.
