A Scare That Revealed the Secret to Reversing Diabetes

One morning, I received a phone call that shook me to my core. My mom’s sister called, concerned that something was wrong. Earlier that morning, my mom had been pressing every button on her phone, trying to reach someone but unable to speak. She had been on the floor for hours, completely unable to move. When I finally got her on the phone, I couldn’t understand a word she was saying.

The paramedics arrived and discovered the root cause: her blood sugar had dropped dangerously low, mimicking the symptoms of a stroke. Once they gave her what she needed to stabilize her sugar, she regained her strength.

That moment taught me two invaluable lessons. First, how fragile our health can be when we don’t manage it properly. And second, the incredible healing power of food.

About a month before this incident, I had gone grocery shopping for my mom, filling her kitchen with only fruits, vegetables, and fish. For that entire month, she ate clean, nutrient-rich foods. It completely changed her body. When the doctor evaluated her after the scare, she told her something amazing: she no longer needed insulin.

But what happened next stunned me. Instead of celebrating her newfound health, my mom told the doctor, “Yes, I do. I don’t plan on eating like that for the rest of my life.” I was in complete disbelief. She would rather take insulin for the rest of her life than embrace a way of eating that had healed her body.

That night was a turning point for me. It confirmed what I already suspected: food holds an incredible power over our health. It can either heal us or harm us. My mom’s experience is proof of how transformative nutrition can be. And yet, it also showed me how hard it can be for people to embrace the changes that lead to healing.

If you or someone you love is dealing with Type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, I encourage you to take control of your health. A good friend of mine runs the Diabetic Learning Center, offering a self-paced course that teaches you how to reverse Type 2 diabetes naturally and permanently through nutritional therapy. Don’t wait until a crisis forces you to make a change. Learn, grow, and take action—because knowledge truly is power.

As Scripture reminds us:
“Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from YAH? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor YAH with your bodies.” – 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Choose to honor your body with the food you eat. It’s a decision that can save your life.
