Doctor Courtney heard about my coma story, my Death to Diabetes book and the overwhelming response from the audience after I gave a lecture to a cancer group. Because of all the positve feedback from the audience participants, he invited me to be interviewed on his radio show, which I accepted. The interview was a smash hit, and that eventually led him to invite me to speak at his medical conference.
DeWayne McCulley shocked the medical world by surviving a life-threatening diabetic coma, weaning himself off the insulin injections and other drugs, and losing more than 55 pounds. Then, with encouragement from his daughter Cynthia and his mother, DeWayne used his engineering and biochemistry background to beat the disease and write the now acclaimed book Death to Diabetes.
Dr. D. Courtney discussed DeWayne McCulley and his miraculous recovery from a near-death diabetic coma, when a radio listener called into his show to comment on DeWayne’s book, Death to Diabetes.
NYC cardiologist Dr. F. Vagnini interviewed DeWayne McCulley about his book and his miraculous recovery from a near-death diabetic coma, 4 insulin shots a day, and two life-threatening blood clots.
Because I was very fortunate to survive a diabetic coma, I believe that part of my responsibility is to share my experience, so that others will benefit and hopefully improve their health, and live a happier life — free from the drugs and the complications of diabetes: amputation, blindness, kidney dialysis, heart attack and stroke.
With my daughter Cynthia’s help, I wrote the book Death to Diabetes, to try to answer many of the questions that diabetics struggle with every day. Because of the book’s success, I have been asked to speak at many events. Unfortunately, most people found my talks to be too technical and boring. My daughter pointed out that I needed to share my personal stories, instead of focusing on all the medical and technical aspects of the disease.
Thanks to my daughter, I have modified my talks to share my personal story and try to use more humor during my speaking engagements. Here are some video clips from several of my speaking engagements, where I attempted to use more humor to educate the audience about diabetes and how to defeat the disease. I hope you agree …
