How to Avoid Diabetes Scams

Diabetes-related scams are one of the top health-related scams on the Internet. Unfortunately, thousands of diabetics have been taken advantage of by charlatans and others who offer solutions that sound too good to be true (and, they are!).

There are thousands of diabetes books, ebooks and supplements on the Internet that promise to cure your diabetes in 30 days or less. Be careful! These programs are designed to take your money and run and hide; and, they provide no support or follow-up after you buy their product.

Concerning curing your diabetes in 30 days or less, if you understand the science and pathology of Type 2 diabetes, then, you realize that you can't cure diabetes in 30 days or less! It takes a minimum of 120 days to turn over your red blood cells, which have been glycated and damaged by the diabetes!

A lot of clients who bought one of those programs were very upset because the program didn't work, plus, no one responded to their questions once they paid their money for the book, ebook or supplement.

There are many diabetes scams out there that promise the world but they don't deliver. In addition, these scamming websites won't allow you to try their product for free like Mr. McCulley does with his Death to Diabetes program. Why?? Because they know that diabetics would find out that their program doesn't work and they won't buy their book.

Many diabetics are apprehensive and confused about all of the "cure diabetes" books, infomercials, and programs out there on the Internet and on TV. And, they have a right to be. There are hundreds if not thousands of diabetes scams out there. If you have been victimized by a diabetes scam, you're not alone. 

Warning: Most of these "cure diabetes" programs on the Internet use the same formula. They show a picture of a doctor with a stethoscope around his neck, supporting this "miraculous" cure, based on so-called clinical research (that doesn't exist or is based on one small study). The website explains what diabetes is and how it's now an epidemic. They also provide hundreds of fake testimonials supporting their claim.

But, they won't really explain their program in detail, and they keep pushing you to buy their book, supplement or other product. Once they get your money, they "disappear" -- that is, you can't get them to return your phone calls or answer any of your emails or provide any emotional support. But, it's too late because they got what they wanted -- your money. 

There are 5 reasons why diabetics are susceptible to these scams, or why diabetics are apprehensive about any diabetes book or supplement:

1. There is a lot of information on the internet about so-called "diabetes cures". This creates a lot of confusion for many diabetics. Also, some diabetics lack the scientific knowledge about what diabetes really is -- it's more than a blood sugar problem! 

2. Most of us trust and believe in our doctors when they tell us that there is no cure for diabetes and that drugs are your only answer. After all, they went to medical school!

Note: Even the author believed his doctors when they told him he had no choice but take the insulin for the rest of his life if he wanted to stay alive.3. Many diabetics have tried other diabetes books, ebooks, programs, or infomercials on TV that just didn't work. These books and programs lacked the substance to really provide any authentic information to help diabetics with their disease.

4. Some diabetics have tried to fight their diabetes on their own, but they have been disappointed and unsuccessful when they changed their diet and exercise. They were unaware that they were still eating the wrong so-called healthy foods, and that they were exercising improperly. As a result, they became discouraged and anxious to buy any so-called "cure".

5. Many diabetics believe that there is a magic pill out there that will help them "cure" their diabetes. This is just not true -- there is no magic pill that cures diabetes. Once you read the author's view on diabetes, you will understand the science behind Type 2 diabetes and why a pill cannot beat this disease. At the same time, you will learn the strengths and weaknesses of this disease, and how to defeat the disease by focusing on its weaknesses.

Spotting the Scams

Be on the lookout for the following clues or red flags that may indicate a scam:

Anything that seems too good to be true. Any diabetes treatment plan that promises an easy, quick cure to diabetes or quick relief of diabetes complications, such as neuropathy, is “too good to be true.”

Payment required.Whether the proposed treatment requires you to buy a “natural” supplement or a book before you can get any more details about the alleged diabetes cure, be wary about Web sites or programs that pressure you to pay up front. Even if the program promises to repay your money after a trial period, view it with suspicion.

A picture of a man or woman in a doctor's lab coat. The reason for showing this picture is to give you confidence that the program is legit, and has been medically approved. But, do you see the irony here? They use a doctor to pull you in, but, the reason why you're still diabetic is because most doctors know very little about nutrition and how to treat diabetes without using medications!

Website displays news logos for CNN, MSNBC, ABC, USA Today, Fox News. These logos of major news outlets on the website imply that their product or program has been featured there. This is extremely misleading and a big red flag.

No Toll-free Number or Contact Us. On their contact page, there is usually an email form but no email address or contact number. So basically, they have made it completely impossible for you to get in touch with them should you be dissatisfied with their service. This is a huge red flag and a tactic often employed by scammers to avoid complaints. But, even if there is a phone number and Contact Us page, call the number, and fill out the Contact Us form before you buy anything. Then, wait to see how long it takes for them to respond to your questions. But, make sure you ask tough questions that require a technical response. 

The product is a supplement. If there were such a supplement, you would have heard about it on the national news! Supplements do not contain what a diabetic's body needs to cure their disease. These supplements tend to contain vitamins, minerals, and herbs that most diabetics have already heard about, i.e. chromium, gymnema,, bitter melon, cinnamon, Vitamin D, lipoic acid, CoQ10, etc.

The cure is bariatric surgery, metabolic surgery, or some other surgery.Type 2 diabetes cannot be cured with surgery! Type 2 diabetes is a biochemical and hormonal disease! Yes, you can reduce the effects of the disease with surgery, but, the diabetic's body is still in a diabetic state! Also, who's offering the cure? Doctors. Doctors can only offer 2 solutions: drugs and surgery. It's not their fault -- it's how they've been trained.

The product or program is offered by a doctor. Really? Aren't these the same people who give us the drugs and surgery as their primary options? 

The product or program is offered by a nutritionist, chiropractor, diabetes educator, etc. Really? Unfortunately, most people in the alternative care business lack the science background to offer an authentic solution for diabetes. In most cases, they offer a program that focuses on weight loss. Yes, it works temporarily, but eventually, the diabetic realizes that he or she is still diabetic after spending several months and several thousands of dollars! Don't assume that just because these nutritionists, diabetes educators, chiropractors, etc. are involved in alternative medicine, that they know what they're doing!

A list of testimonials. But, most of the testimonials are from people that you can't talk to verify that the people are even real, and that they truly cured their diabetes! In fact, there is only one program that provides links to the actual diabetics who have used the program and benefited from the program.

Conflicting medications. If you’re on medication for type 2 diabetes or any other chronic health condition, you should find out whether the diabetes "cure" you are considering will interact with your other prescriptions and conditions. A questionable diabetes cure may not mention the possibility of conflict.

Stopping medications. The promise that you will be able to stop taking medications is tempting — but don’t do it without your doctor’s approval.

Lack of research support. While many alleged diabetes cures may claim that scientific research supports their approach or the ingredients in the product, you should find out more about these studies. Look for studies that are published in major journals. Look for journal citations and find the original publication of the study results, if you can. Your doctor or a librarian can help you with this.

Emphasis on mistrust. Diabetes cure scams may promise you a cure “that your doctor won’t tell you about” implying that your medical team is withholding vital information.

Testimonials. Stories from patients or celebrities may be used to persuade you to try a product. But, you don’t know what other medications they have been taking or what other health conditions they have.

Special deals. Advertising for the alleged cure may suggest that you are getting a special deal if you order immediately. You may also be promised a free gift, two-for-one deal, or some other benefit for ordering right away.

Implied threats. Watch out for diabetes treatment plans that imply you will do great harm to your body if you do not invest immediately in the proposed cure.

Continued contact. If you supply personal information in order to get more details (without paying) and the group or program continues to pressure you after you have decided against a purchase, this is a scam.

If you are interested in a type 2 diabetes cure or treatment that your doctor or nurse has not mentioned to you, do your research first. Find a program that explains the program and allows you to use the program before you have to buy the book or the program.

Death to Diabetes Program

On the other hand, Mr. McCulley knows that his program will work. That's why he provides his program on his website free of charge. He knows that you will return to buy the book after you verify that the program works for you.

So, do you know of any diabetes program where you can try the program for free without having to buy the book or ebook? 

After you try the program for free, watch the author speak at a medical conference about his recovery and ask yourself this question: Does this sound like someone I can trust?

If you have questions, call us and talk with us or the author to get your questions answered!  

Or, if you're into the science, read this page to understand the pathology of diabetes and the science behind this program.

Oh, by the way, no other program is as visible and accessible on Facebook as the Death to Diabetes program. Do you know why? These other programs know that their program doesn't work so they don't want people complaining in a public forum about their product. But, Mr. McCulley is very confident in his program and doesn't mind being so visible and accessible to the public.

So, become a victor of knowledge & wellness, and stop being a victim of ignorance & illness -- it's all up to you.

More Food for Thought: Since you've been taking diabetic drugs, your health hasn't really improved. In fact, you're probably taking more drugs now. So, are you being scammed by the doctors and pharmaceutical companies?

Please Note: There are similar financial-related scams such as online home businesses that promise you'll make thousands of dollars a month. All you have to do is send in a small payment of $47 or $97 or some similar amount. The website shows lots of testimonials of supposedly happy people who are pulling in truckloads of money. Yeah, right ....  Plus, they'll sometimes show a clock or make it sound like the "offer" is going away if you don't act now. They will say anything and promise you the world -- as long as they get your money!
