This comprehensive resource highlights the significant benefits of micronutrients in treating and preventing diabetes. It presents a straightforward program of nutritional supplements designed to halt the progression of diabetes and its complications, enhancing the chances of avoiding the disease altogether. The book emphasizes that merely altering diet and activity levels is insufficient to combat the chronic inflammation and free radical damage that underlie diabetes and prediabetes. Kedar N. Prasad, Ph.D., a leading researcher in cancer, heart disease, and diabetes prevention, shares groundbreaking findings on the role of antioxidants and micronutrients in diabetes management. He explains how specific combinations of vitamin and antioxidant supplements can significantly enhance the effectiveness of traditional medical treatments, potentially reversing the progression of both type I and type II diabetes and preventing onset in prediabetic individuals. Prasad identifies chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and free radical damage as primary factors in diabetes progression, arguing that standard lifestyle changes alone cannot adequately address these issues. He provides a practical daily supplement regimen tailored for diabetics and prediabetics across various age groups, targeting free radical damage and cell injury. By reviewing scientific research, he challenges the prevailing medical consensus that dismisses the eff
