Great interview. Great guy, not just somebody. This is an interview that may open the eyes of a lot of people. It should be heard also outside the existing LC-circle!!
I sure hope so, Hans! David Mendosa has a strong voice in the diabetes community and they need to hear what he has to say about this.
I’m listed as having posted a comment about your David Mendosa interview, but I’ve not even listened to the interview and have not left a comment. Not sure how that happens????
I don’t know either Steve. Sorry about that. It’s a good interview, though.
What an tremendous story. Thank you so much for bringing David Mendosa’s experience to us, Jimmy. Truly inspirational.
My pleasure! He’s one neat guy.
I loved loved this podcast!! I also had/having the same great experience controling my Diabetes and my PCOS with low carb. Also,, my sweet tooth, most of the time , is no longer there!! I love the fact that he said “you dont need carbs” woohoo!! Low Carb saves lifes!!!!!!!
Hello,
I have been following David for years. He has always had the best diabetes information on the web! I learned about Byetta from his web site. I started taking Byetta which initially worked great, but over a short time I developed a tolerance to it and it stopped working for me. It was then that I took control of my diabetes and health with a low carb diet. I am surprised to hear that David has followed the same path as me by stopping the Byetta and going low carb! I actually wrote that I was doing this on his Byetta blog long before he stopped taking Byetta.
