You saved my life, Dr. Fung. I found you on YouTube in 2020. Type 2 diabetes reversed (A1C is 5.4 from 7.5 in 2019). Took 4 years to get to maintenance (63+ lb weight loss) through keto, intermittent fasting, then low carb. Everything that I've decided to do has been the result of The Diabetes Code. I greatly appreciate you!

I retired in 2017 after 50 years of d family practice. I had been reversing, curing T2D prior to this IF I could get my patients to CHANGE THEIR DIET . When they did, SUPRISE, NO more diabetes! So some of us figured this out many many years ago. My mantra to my patients was, "You ate your way into this and you can eat your way out of this".

Thank you Dr Fung. A few years ago, after my type II diognosis I disregarded the direction of the N.H.S. here in the U.K. who advised that the condition was life-long. Instead I found you online, read your book and followed your dietry advice. I am now a healthy weight and have been free from diabetes for over a year. No metformin - no insulin - NO THANKS TO THE NHS. God bless you.

You are saving lives Dr. Fung! I'm 61. Four years ago I found your book The Obesity Code, your videos and lectures. I lost 160lbs. by eating a low carb, high fat diet and learning how to fast. It changed my life! I'm so active, have tons of energy and off all my meds. I'm maintaining well with my ketovore diet, and fasting. I love my fasting lifestyle 🥰. Thanks for all you do! 🙏😊 11:55
