THE GREAT GLUCOSE DECEPTION (Excerpt from book - DIABETES OR DIE-WITH-EASE )

 

Who Changed the Diabetes Diagnosis Range—And Why?

In the world of health, few things are as dangerously deceptive as the numbers used to diagnose diabetes. At first glance, they seem scientific, precise, and reliable. A number appears on your lab report and suddenly, without symptoms, without pain, without any warning, you are a "diabetic."

But have you ever stopped to ask: who decided that number?

In 1979, the National Diabetes Data Group (NDDG) set the diagnostic criterion for diabetes as a glucose of 200 mg/dL or higher. This range had a clinical rationale: it was high enough to correlate with symptoms, risk of complications, and abnormal glucose tolerance.

Yet, in the decades that followed, that number was quietly lowered — not once, but multiple times. The most significant shift came in 2010, when the American Diabetes Association (ADA) released guidelines that redefined normal, prediabetic, and diabetic glucose levels.

Under this new rubric:

·         Fasting blood sugar (FBS) over 100 mg/dL was prediabetic.

·         Postprandial glucose (PPG) over 140 mg/dL was cause for concern.

·         HbA1c (glycated hemoglobin) over 5.6% signified prediabetes or diabetes.

And just like that, millions of healthy people became patients overnight.

But why? What was the scientific justification?

Here's the uncomfortable truth: there wasn’t any solid science to justify this sudden tightening of diagnostic parameters. There was no global epidemic of sudden diabetic collapse that demanded more aggressive cutoffs. Instead, there was an invisible epidemic of something else: profit hunger.

The lowering of the glucose threshold was not a decision based on pathology or a better understanding of human physiology. It was a calculated strategy driven by the pharmaceutical-industrial complex.

You see, the lower the threshold, the larger the patient base. It's not a mistake that the very organizations pushing these new diagnostic standards had strong financial ties to the companies that stood to benefit from a larger diabetic population.

The Conspiracy to Create More Customers

Let us consider this: If the fasting threshold is set to 100 mg/dL, the postprandial at 140 mg/dL, and the HbA1c at 5.6%, you’re almost guaranteed to "fail" at least one of them.

Let us suppose you eat lunch and two hours later your blood sugar is 145 mg/dL. Congratulations: you now qualify as diabetic, despite feeling completely healthy and symptom-free.

Let us suppose your fasting blood sugar is 101 mg/dL one morning due to stress, poor sleep, or a late dinner the night before. Boom: you're now prediabetic.

What does the doctor tell you?

·         Avoid fruit.

·         Take Metformin.

·         Prepare to be medicated for life.

They won’t ask about your stress levels, your diet, your sleep, or your mental health. They will push pills — because the machine behind the system is designed not to cure you, but to capture you.

This is why this chapter is titled "The Great Glucose Deception". Because it's not just a numerical manipulation. It's a medical trap that turns health into disease, well-being into worry, and patients into permanent customers.

Now imagine the impact of such guidelines on a global scale. As nations begin to adopt ADA-approved standards, entire populations suddenly find themselves reclassified as ill. From Asia to Africa to Latin America, millions of people who once considered themselves healthy are now terrified into lifelong medication.

This is not public health.

This is public manipulation.

Fasting vs. Postprandial Sugar: The Double-Edged Sword of Diagnosis

The genius (or cruelty) of the system lies in this: if you manage to pass one test, there are always two more to trap you.

You may have a normal fasting glucose. But your postprandial may rise due to a rich meal. Or maybe your HbA1c is slightly elevated due to poor sleep or temporary inflammation. Either way, they get you.

Let us break it down:

·         Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS): Measured after 8 hours of no food. But who sleeps perfectly every night? Who doesn't eat late sometimes? Who isn’t stressed or hormonally imbalanced occasionally? A slight rise in morning sugar is often a natural, adaptive response of the body.

·         Postprandial Glucose (PPG): Measured two hours after a meal. But what you eat, how fast you digest, and even your gut bacteria influence this. Fruits can raise it temporarily but in a healthy way. Yet the system doesn't differentiate between a spike from white bread or watermelon.

·         HbA1c: A three-month average of blood sugar. But this test is influenced by age, anemia, ethnicity, hydration, and even altitude. It's not an absolute measure. But it has become the gold standard for determining who should be drugged.

The 2010 ADA guidelines used all three of these “metrics” to create a diagnostic net so wide that nearly everyone falls into it. And once inside, it's hard to get out.

Because from the first visit, the language is already disempowering:

·         "There is no cure."

·         "This is for life."

·         "Stop eating fruits."

·         "Take this medicine, and come back in a month."

And what happens after a month?

Most likely, the numbers haven't improved — because no one addressed the root cause. The doctor increases the dose or adds another pill. And the cycle begins: medication, side effects, more medication, more damage.

It is not uncommon for a diabetic patient to eventually suffer from:

·         High blood pressure

·         Kidney dysfunction

·         Liver enlargement

·         Nerve damage

·         Poor wound healing

·         Vision loss

·         Depression

But the irony is brutal. These complications are not caused by diabetes alone. They are also caused — and accelerated — by the very medications meant to manage it.

The Real Solution They Don’t Want You to Know

You might wonder, what then is the solution? Can diabetes really be reversed?

The answer is not just yes — it is a resounding, evidence-backed YES.

Across the world, thousands of individuals have reversed diabetes by doing the exact opposite of what the mainstream medical system suggests:

·         Eating whole, plant-based foods rich in fiber and nutrients.

·         Consuming fresh fruits without fear.

·         Walking or exercising daily.

·         Sleeping well.

·         Managing stress naturally.

These are not abstract theories. These are lived realities. Real people. Real healing. No medicine required.

But when they speak out, they are called frauds. Their doctors dismiss them. Health authorities ignore them. And if a professional dares to advocate this, they are often silenced, ridiculed, or threatened with loss of license.

Why? Because curing diabetes naturally dismantles an industry worth billions.

Conclusion: Wake Up to the Numbers Game

The normal blood glucose range wasn’t changed because you got sicker. It was changed so you could be classified as sick.

By lowering the bar of what is considered "diabetic," the health authorities expanded their market exponentially. And in doing so, they condemned millions to a life of medication, fear, and unnecessary suffering.

But now you know the game. You see the chessboard.

You understand that the phrase "Diabetes or Die-with-Ease" is not a joke. It is a truthful choice. You can believe in the numbers and follow the pills to your slow demise. Or you can reclaim your health through lifestyle, diet, and conscious living.

This chapter has only scratched the surface. In the next chapter, we will go even deeper into how pharmaceutical giants manipulate not just numbers, but narratives, education, and media, to keep the lie alive.

Because diabetes was never your enemy.

The system that profits from your fear is.
