  • Insulin: How to Restore a Tarnished Miracle

  • Is There No Basal Insulin?
    Dr. Bernstein is well known for his strong and often controversial opinions. When it comes to basal insulin, he's got a lot to say, and it's certainly not the party line.
  • Losing Weight with Your Diabetes Medication

  • Type 2 Diabetes Is Not a Disease of Blood Sugar
    When it comes to type 2 diabetes, Dr. Ron Rosedale believes that high blood sugar is merely a symptom of the root disorder: insulin and leptin resistance. In his intriguing and controversial opinion, just pouring more insulin on the problem is damaging at best. The real solution, however, is well within your power.

  • Insulin for Type 2s: Who, When, and Why?
    Those are the questions, and Dr. Robert Tanenberg has the answers. He lays it all out for you: the physiology of diabetes, the common treatments, and the various factors that play into the momentous decision to begin insulin when you have type 2 diabetes.
