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.

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.
