The Complete Type 2 Series · Measure First + The Six-Month Program + The Maintenance System · Instant download

The full path: find out what your own body does, build the habits week by week, then hold onto the progress. Includes The Baseline Week printable pack and the CGM Application Guide.

This series is written for someone working toward remission. If you have had type 2 for years and are managing it for life rather than chasing that, Living Well With Type 2 is the honest recommendation instead.

Measure First · 65-page workbook · Instant download · Print it or read on any device

Twelve weeks, one change at a time, and a test each week that tells you whether it worked in your body rather than in a study population. It opens with a baseline week where you change nothing — the only week you cannot reconstruct later.

Breaking the Pattern · The companion volume, on Amazon Kindle · Read on any device with the free Kindle app

Before you buy anything on this page, you can find out whether this way of writing about type 2 is any use to you. Amazon will send you a free sample of Breaking the Pattern — what a diagnosis does and doesn't mean, the tools you have that your family didn't, and a realistic first 90 days. Read the opening chapters, then come back and decide.

A note on honest expectations

The lifestyle changes these guides teach are well documented in peer-reviewed research — and how far any individual gets with them varies, which is why no honest guide can promise you a specific outcome. What we promise instead: every claim referenced, the limits stated plainly, and guidance designed to be used with your healthcare provider — never instead of one. The evidence itself, sources named, is discussed in depth in our free education articles.

Important

These guides are for education only and are not medical advice. They do not diagnose, treat, or cure any condition, and individual results vary. Do not start, stop, or change any medication — or begin fasting — without medical guidance, particularly if you take insulin or a sulfonylurea. If you have retinopathy, high blood pressure, or a heart condition, clear new exercise with your doctor first.
