About this listen

A groundbreaking method to master all types of diabetes by reversing insulin resistance.

Current medical wisdom advises that anyone suffering from diabetes or prediabetes should eat a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet. But in this revolutionary audiobook, Cyrus Khambatta, PhD, and Robby Barbaro, MPH, rely on a century of research to show that advice is misguided. While it may improve short-term blood glucose control, such a diet also increases the long-term risk for chronic diseases like cancer, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, chronic kidney disease, and fatty liver disease.

The revolutionary solution is to eat a low-fat plant-based whole-food diet, the most powerful way to reverse insulin resistance in all types of diabetes: type 1, type 1.5, type 2, prediabetes, and gestational diabetes.

As the creators of the extraordinary and effective Mastering Diabetes Method, Khambatta and Barbaro lay out a step-by-step plan proven to reverse insulin resistance - the root cause of blood glucose variability - while improving overall health and maximizing life expectancy. Armed with more than 800 scientific references and drawing on more than 36 years of personal experience living with type 1 diabetes themselves, the authors show how to eat large quantities of carbohydrate-rich whole foods like bananas, potatoes, and quinoa while decreasing blood glucose, oral medication, and insulin requirements. They also provide life-changing advice on intermittent fasting and daily exercise and offer tips on eating in tricky situations, such as restaurant meals and family dinners. Perhaps best of all: On the Mastering Diabetes Method, you will never go hungry.

With more than 30 delicious, filling, and nutrient-dense recipes and backed by cutting-edge nutritional science, Mastering Diabetes will help you maximize your insulin sensitivity, attain your ideal body weight, improve your digestive health, gain energy, live an active life, and feel the best you've felt in years.

Includes a PDF of recipes and illustrations.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

"This powerful book will revolutionize the way you think about diabetes. Written by two guys at the forefront of the diabetes revolution who both have type 1 diabetes, it creates a roadmap to understand the physiology of insulin resistance and give you the tools to reverse it using powerful scientific evidence." (Michael Greger, MD, FACC, New York Times best-selling author of How Not to Diet)

"A whole food, plant based diet is the secret to longevity on every continent in the world. Now, this amazing book teaches us you don’t have to wait until old-age to reap the benefits. The Mastering Diabetes method will help you reverse insulin resistance, lose weight, and feel fantastic. Highly recommended!" (Dan Buettner, New York Times best-selling author of The Blue Zones Solution)

"We’re seeing more and more that a plant-based diet is the way to go for maximum health. But this book is a game-changer. Cyrus and Robby make a compelling case that a plant based, whole food diet is the key to reversing insulin resistance. That’s a message that is great for all of us and for the planet too. Love it!" (Kathy Freston, New York Times best-selling author of Quantum Wellness)

Now I have convince my husband to read this!

What an amazing book. I don't have diabetes but I am glad I read it.
My husband has type 1 and I care for my special needs sister who has type 2 and I found it very helpful in understanding what I can do to help them both manage their insulin sensitivity. I honestly think that everyone should read this book. My husband loves meat and red light foods so it will be difficult to get him on board, but I hope he will at least give it a try and see what results he gets.

A Complete Guide

As I listened to the audiobook, every question that popped into my mind on a topic was literally answered in the upcoming sentences. I greatly appreciate all the details and explanations that helped me understand insulin resistance and what I can do about it. While trying to transition to a low fat WFPB diet, I have had trouble knowing what a meal should look like in terms of portion size. This is the first resource I've read that answered that question. Love, love , love the meal plan that includes simple to prepare meals. The book is so practical, that I for the first time, I feel like this is doable. It is obvious this comes from lived experience. Thank you Cyrus and Robby!

Excellent book even if your not a Type 1 diabetic! Everyone should read it!!!

I gain weight after a total hysterectomy and didn’t know why. After my own search to find out why I gain weight I realized I was insulin resistance. Not Good! After discovering and reading Mastering Diabetes I learned the truth about food and what’s causing my mysterious weight gain. Thank you Robbie and Cyrus for ALL your research and fact sharing. This morning I made myself blended beets with turmeric and ginger before my walk. My health improves daily when I follow your guidance. Thanks again!!!

One of if not the BEST and most informative audiobooks I’ve EVER listened on nutrition

I am an avid reader and audible listener! Whenever possible I like to listen to a book either prior to reading it or simultaneously.. but lately since i work 3rd shift (10-12hrs) I’ve been able to listen to entire books.. this particular book, mastering diabetes, left me in awe by the 3rd chapter.. there are so many reasons why I LOVE this audio book..

first reason- I thoroughly enjoy audiobooks that are recorded by the author (with one exception-my all-time favorite book the autobiography of Malcolm X which was read by Laurence fishburne).

2- Cyrus and Robby do a GREAT job Providing a plethora of scientific information and they explain it so eloquently yet in a way that ANYONE can understand. I love how they explain everything as to not leave the reader/listener clueless as to what they’re talking about.. while at the same time inspiring astute learners to dig deeper into to the topics discussed..

3. It was awesome hearing one of my favorite MDs in nutrition.. Dr. Neal Barnard read the forward!

4. I also love how they handle controversial topics with such grace and compassion.. such as the ketogenic diet..

It seems as if They made a very conscious effort not to demonize or bash other nutritional philosophies in order to promote their own program but rather they allowed the age old science to speak for itself!!! There’s no over zealous feel that I often see from many plant based advocates.. (I use to be that guy myself when I first came into this knowledge).

Lastly the audiobook was SOO great that I purchased the hard copy In order to study it more thoroughly as my purpose in life is to help people be healthy and whole! My ENTIRE family has been effected by countless detrimental dis-eases that I now realize may have all stemmed from insulin resistance! I can’t wait to learn more in order to help my family heal and master their diabetes, overcome HBP, HC..CVD, etc..
