Our research-based method helps those with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes reduce or eliminate their use of oral medications and insulin, drop their A1c to 5.6% or less, and lose weight permanently. People with autoimmune diabetes experience the best blood glucose control they’ve ever had. 

In the first 3-6 months, people living with autoimmune diabetes (type 1 and 1.5) often experience:

  • A 10-60% reduction in basal insulin requirements
  • A 10-60% reduction in bolus insulin requirements
  • More stable and predictable blood glucose values
  • A reduced A1c value between 5.5-6.5%

Thousands of members have used our method to help them:

  • Lose weight permanently
  • Dramatically lower their total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, blood pressure, and triglycerides
  • Lower their A1c to non-diabetic values

  • Significantly improve their digestive function
  • Live without the fear of future diabetes complications like neuropathy, Alzheimer’s disease, kidney disease, blindness, and erectile dysfunction

Our Method is Scientifically Proven to Lower A1c, Body Weight, and Reduce Medication Use

Our published peer-reviewed research demonstrates the effectiveness of the Mastering Diabetes personalized coaching program for dramatically improving diabetes health

Now, eight months later, I have an A1C of 5.3, I have lost 45 pounds, 5 inches of my waist and I have the lowest cholesterol I have ever had. The most important thing I have gained is a great amount of hope for myself, my friends and my family. It’s been great to see several of my friends decide to follow in the same footsteps.

For the last two weeks I have been able to stop using all of the insulin and my 14 day average blood sugar is 125. Also, my A1c went from 13.8 to 8.4 in two months. Take that insulin resistance!

"Now the real magic happens! I started the Mastering Diabetes program January 26, 2019. My A1C was 6.4. Just 4 months later now my A1C is 5.8, just .2 away from reversing my diabetes completely!
During my journey I had gotten my cholesterol down, with my total cholesterol initially being 199 after my hard work of weight loss and daily exercise on my own. Then, after I started the Mastering Diabetes program my cholesterol jumped up to 258. It made me so upset to see a higher number, but I was embracing the program, hearing that for some people it can go up as your body releases the cholesterol and the fat. It was just beyond disappointing though! Just 1 month ago my cholesterol was 242 but today it’s now 207 so it IS happening!! My LDL also had gone down to 105 when I first lost weight, but then skyrocketed up to 159 after MD. Sad face again... Last month it was 150 and just 1 month later, now it’s 119.!
So, the moral of the story is keep going! Have faith! Believe! Mastering Diabetes WORKS and my insulin resistance IS improving me and my A1C. I’m slowly but surely moving my numbers back down to where they need to be. My weight loss has slowed down but I’m sticking with the program! I’m in it for life!"

If you were overweight I'd ask you to lose weight but since you're thin there's nothing you can do. We will just monitor you and if your A1c goes up I can give you a prescription and then eventually you might need insulin." I left crying, feeling helpless. Thankfully I found Mastering Diabetes online and started watching every webinar and taking copious notes.

"I have only FABULOUS things to say about this program. I developed gestational diabetes in my 20’s. I lived on animal protein and nuts and tried to keep my carb intake to 20 or less a day. I ate ZERO FRUIT or carb rich vegetables for almost 17 years. And despite my impeccable restraint, my health declined—my mental capabilities deteriorated, my weight kept creeping up in spite of regular exercise, I developed more and more food sensitivities, my sugar levels became increasingly volatile, and I was extremely tired. Now I eat all the whole fruits and veggies I want and I have lost weight, am more energetic than I’ve been since I was a kid, have greater mental clarity, take LESS insulin than when I was limiting myself on carbs, have increased sugar level stability AND I AM EATING NUTRIENTS! What a sensational idea! So excited about that and the healing it will continue to bring."

"I went to my endo today and my current A1C is a 5.0! My Doctor said I am a type one diabetic with a non diabetic’s A1C! Having a few hypos that need worked out but all in all my BG is stable & my ratios are on point! This program works! Thank you MD team for giving me the tools to do this! For 26 years I was an out of control diabetic on a whacky rollercoaster of BGs, now I feel calm, confident and in control! On the SAD diet my daily insulin intake was 120 units on a pump. When I went vegan without fat reduction I was about 80-100 and now on the WFPBLF diet I am at 40 units."

"I wanted to share a big win on the A1C front. Since October of 2017 I have dropped my A1C from a 9.5% to a 6.8%! I haven’t seen a number in the 6 range in the 18 years I have been a Type 1 diabetic. I have never seen a doctor smile so much."

"I have been living with Type 1 diabetes, Celiac disease and Hashimoto's since the age of 3. I was fortunate enough to find this program after the Ketogenic diet ruined me. I had become so insulin resistant I was put on a type 2 medication and was injecting insulin at a 1:1 ratio. Cyrus and Robby became my heroes as I started eating as much fruit as my heart desired all while becoming super sensitive to insulin, gaining energy and losing weight. I now inject at a 30:1 and do very little basal insulin. I love fruit."

"I would just like to say thank you to everyone. I am finally feeling better. I would like to thank Cyrus and Robby for guiding me through this process. Anyone who is new to the program, stay with it. I have been a diabetic for 31 years and this experience has been so rewarding in every aspect. I started at 218 lbs and in 4 months I have lost 23 lbs and reduced my body fat from 18% to 14%. My cholesterol is 147 and my A1c has come down too. It's a process that takes time and will be met with some frustration along the way but in the end it is so well worth is. Thank you all!"

"I have been diabetic for 40 years. Since changing my diet I've lost 20 pounds without effort, I've reduced my insulin intake by more than 20 units and I am able to think quicker and communicate easier. My neuropathy and eye pain have improved dramatically. My A1c has gone from a 7 to a 5.8 in just a few months. I'm 65 and my doctor said I am the healthiest diabetic she has ever seen. I see a new life and new hope."

"I was diagnosed at the age of 22 with Type 1 diabetes, alopecia and Hashimoto's hypothyroidism. I transitioned to a plant based diet and started consuming a ridiculous amount of fruits. I dropped my insulin use by 40% I began to feel better and better and my athletic performance improved dramatically. I eat 750g of carbs, inject 24 units per day and my A1c stays level at 5.4%."

"I was diagnosed with Type 1 when I was 12 and continued eating a relatively healthy “western diet”. After years of struggling with various health problems I came across the Mastering Diabetes podcast in January 2018. After that I was focused and determined to get to the bottom of my diabetes health. In an effort to heal my kidneys and feet I needed “perfect control”. Insulin resistance was something I never even heard about in my 13 years of living with type one. I have slowly adapted this diet to what my body needs and wants. My A1C has dropped from a 7.3 to a 6.2 in 5 months. With the injections my daily totals average at about 20-25 units a day while consuming 500 to 700 grams of carbs. My blood sugar control and predictability is amazing and insulin sensitivity averages about 1:30. My neuropathy symptoms are improving, injuries are healing, and my kidney hasn’t bothered me in 4 months. Variability in diet, timing, and activity have a huge effect on my blood sugars. With time I continue to get better at utilizing my diet as my main tool to controlling this disease and healing my body. In my mind it is the answer to ensure you live a long, happy, and most importantly a healthy life! Keep pushing forwards!"

"Thank you Mastering Diabetes and my Endocrinologist, who is very supportive of my lifestyle! I have been on the Mastering Diabetes LFPBWF program for eight months and all of my blood work came back wonderful this week! My A1C is now 5.3, down from 12.3 when I started, my fasting blood sugar is between 80-100, cholesterol 112, etc. My Doctor’s comments to me were “can you get any more perfect with this diabetes thing!” He said that I am healthy and whatever I am doing to keep it up! It really feels good to know that what you are doing is saving your life!"

"If you had told me a few years ago that I would be eating nothing but green juice and fruits for breakfast every day I would have thought you were nuts. Even after taking my nutrition schooling, I still thought that I would need a more protein rich breakfast, balanced out with some fats to stabilize my blood sugars. Well, in 2016 I had a good long chat with myself in meditation and prayer, about how to eat in order to heal my body. I knew my truth, I got the answers, but sometimes you don’t take action right away out of fear or laziness. Or any number of other excuses.  So 2 years went by until I took action. And just like any other wondrous things that we realize and implement, we ask “Why the heck haven’t I been doing this all along?” Sometimes you just need a nudge. Find someone else who has tried and succeeded. Or be your own witness like my clients (and myself) and see the truth your body and soul always wants you to receive. Or just stop trying to talk yourself out of doing what you know is right. This is NOT hard. Being sick and tired all the time is HARD. Being in PAIN is hard. Living with disease and chronic illness is hard. Make the choice to set yourself FREE! One choice at a time. One meal at a time. That’s all you have to do. It is easy. If I can do it, so can you!"

"I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 12, and embraced a low-fat, plant-based, whole-food diet 4 years after my diagnosis. To this day, adopting this lifestyle has been one of the best decisions of my life, and since that fateful day my hemoglobin A1c value has never exceeded 6.4%."

"In addition to being able to fully race the entire event without an issue with my diabetes. I also had a 3rd place finish with a time of 1:54, almost 15 minutes faster than my previous best time. Things to change for my next event would be: 1) decrease my post-race basal by 30% for 12 hours and 20 decrease my post race boluses by 30% for 12 hours as I still tend to run low about 2 hours after meals. Now, for you number freaks out there here’s the data so far today: Carbs: 937g, Fat: 22 grams, Protein: 128g. Basal 2.5u. Bolus: 10u. Insulin sensitivity score 69:1. Thank you Cyrus and to all of you for your support along this journey."

"Up until the start of this program I was on a total of 12 different medications. I use to have problems with highs and lows and could not lose weight. Now I have dropped many of my meds, and the control that this lifestyle is offering me and my glucose is so much better than I ever thought possible. I have cut down about 39% total my insulin usage but I’ve gone up almost three and a half times on my carb intake and I continue to lose weight. I see myself continuing to follow this because the results so far are so dramatic and so positive I can’t see myself changing."

"My fasting glucose is 81 and my A1c has dropped from 6.7 to 6.0. which means I am pretty insulin sensitive. I cut out 4 medications. My cholesterol is great. In 2 months I have dropped 33 lbs. If I wasn't on the diet that you guys recommend I hate to think where I'd be."

"I just got back from my Doctor appointment and it was amazing! They went through all my blood work and said I’m in the very low percent of people who needs insulin and I am more type one than type two. He wants me to start on insulin immediately and stop all meds that are likely doing more harm than good (his words). He gave me Tresiba and then will see about a short acting injecting if needed. They measure my level of fruit and veggie intake and by following the Mastering Diabetes program I produced one of the highest scores he has ever seen! I’m so happy you pushed me on this Cyrus and Robby! I feel so relieved! Thank you all for your prayers and good thoughts. It means the world to me!"

I am so happy and proud today. My A1C is down to 6.3 from 13.7 just 3 months ago at diagnosis. I’ve also lost 15lbs and am inching toward my ideal weight. I’m so thankful for this program! My doctor said that was the best improvement she’s ever seen, and I told her about Mastering Diabetes and she said she would recommend it to other patients!
