Bonaparte C Damocles

Type 2 Diabetes Pioneer Bonaparte C Damocles

In 1991, Bonny Damocles embarked on a quest to treat his type 2 diabetes without drugs, using diet, exercise and common sense as his only medication. Nearly 26 years later, his simple regimen has not only saved him tens of thousands of dollars, it's helped him avoid the trademark complications of the disease. At 81, he has more energy than he did before his diagnosis. He frequently exercises without shoes, revealing feet that are shockingly nimble for a man who has had diabetes for nearly one-third of his life. He does not wear glasses, not even when he drives. If you have type 2 diabetes, or have been told you have prediabetes, Damocles' story can provide hope and motivation, no matter where you are in your journey.
