[3:26] Public health authorities can do little to change the diabetes epidemic. The methods they are using do not work. It is up to you and I to make a change.

[5:20] Myth #1: “Diabetes always gets worse.” This is not true. Type II Diabetes is preventable, controllable, and reversible.

[6:17] Myth #2: “Diabetes is genetic. You just have to learn to live with it.” This is not true. Lifestyle can trump genetics, even if you are genetically predisposed for diabetes.

[8:12] Myth #3: “As long as you take your medicine, diabetes is not a big deal.” You need to take care of yourself and not rely on a drug to take care of you because it can’t do it. There are horrible side effects and sometimes the drugs make the problem worse.

[11:07] This episode’s Feeling Good Superhero is someone who is on the frontlines trying to help people fight the diabetes epidemic. This person is Dr. Laura Washington of the Life Transformation Medical Center. Dr. Laura and Dr. Phil work together to help patients and combine traditional medical care with natural solutions. She teaches diabetics how to prolong their lives and reverse their diabetes. Dr. Phil is thankful to be a part of what she does and helping diabetic patients get control of their lives. Thank you Dr. Laura for helping people to get off of their diabetes medication.
