Dr. Ken Berry Announces Formation of the American Diabetes Society: A New Approach to Diabetes Awareness and Treatment
In a move that has the potential to shift the conversation on diabetes management, Dr. Ken Berry has announced the launch of the American Diabetes Society (ADS), a fresh organization dedicated to providing an alternative perspective on diabetes prevention, treatment, and education. Known for his outspoken views on diet, health, and chronic illness, Dr. Berry’s organization aims to address the root causes of diabetes, offering guidance that diverges from more traditional dietary recommendations and treatments. With the rising prevalence of diabetes in the U.S., this new organization could become a pivotal voice in the broader health discussion.
A New Voice in Diabetes Advocacy
The announcement of the American Diabetes Society brings with it a strong critique of current diabetes management strategies, which Dr. Berry claims focus too heavily on medications and ignore dietary factors. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 37 million Americans have diabetes, with another 96 million adults estimated to have prediabetes. These numbers highlight the urgent need for effective, sustainable solutions that help patients manage or even reverse diabetes.
“Diabetes is not a lifelong sentence,” Dr. Berry stated during the launch event. “People need real tools and accurate information to take back control of their health. We’re here to offer that alternative.” Dr. Berry, a staunch advocate for the low-carbohydrate, ketogenic, and carnivore diets, is one of the more vocal critics of traditional dietary guidelines promoted by larger health organizations, including the American Diabetes Association (ADA). He argues that these guidelines are out of date, particularly as more studies point to the potential of low-carb diets for stabilizing blood sugar and promoting metabolic health.
A Focus on Diet, Education, and Lifestyle
Unlike other diabetes organizations, the ADS intends to put diet and lifestyle changes at the center of diabetes treatment, shifting focus from medication-centered approaches to ones that empower patients to achieve sustainable health. Dr. Berry and the ADS intend to promote dietary plans that prioritize protein and healthy fats, arguing that these approaches have shown substantial promise in helping patients lower blood sugar levels, lose weight, and reduce dependence on medications.
“The science is there,” Dr. Berry emphasized. “Low-carb and ketogenic diets have repeatedly shown their effectiveness in reducing blood sugar levels, but they’re still not a mainstream option. We’re here to give patients access to this knowledge, so they can make informed decisions about their health.”
In addition to diet-focused guidance, the ADS plans to run public awareness campaigns, educational events, and outreach programs geared toward dispelling myths surrounding diabetes and its treatment. According to Dr. Berry, much of the public suffers from what he terms “food misinformation,” particularly regarding the impact of sugars and processed carbohydrates on insulin resistance.
Addressing the “Big Pharma” Influence
Dr. Berry has long held a critical stance on the pharmaceutical industry’s role in healthcare, and ADS is set to reflect that skepticism in its approach. He asserts that pharmaceutical companies have an interest in maintaining a “chronic treatment” approach to diabetes, where patients are encouraged to rely on medication rather than preventive lifestyle measures.
“The goal of the American Diabetes Society is to promote true wellness, not prolonged dependency on medication,” he said. “For too long, we’ve been told that diabetes is a lifelong condition requiring lifelong medication. But the evidence shows this doesn’t have to be the case. It’s time to challenge the status quo.”
While some critics argue that alternative approaches like low-carb diets require further research, a growing body of evidence supports the idea that these diets can significantly reduce insulin resistance and manage blood sugar. Many who follow Dr. Berry’s advice share their stories of improved health outcomes, with some reporting that they’ve been able to reduce or even eliminate their medication needs.
Paving the Way for More Research and Support
As part of its mission, the ADS plans to support independent research on diabetes management and prevention. The organization hopes to fund studies exploring the effectiveness of dietary changes, particularly low-carb and keto approaches, on blood sugar control and overall metabolic health. Through this research, the ADS aims to provide a data-driven counterpoint to the medication-heavy approaches often recommended by traditional healthcare systems.
In addition, the ADS will provide resources and support to patients, caregivers, and families affected by diabetes. Dr. Berry intends for the organization to serve as a hub for those seeking an alternative to mainstream diabetes management, helping to connect people with like-minded healthcare professionals and educational materials that emphasize food-based solutions.
A Growing Movement for Change
Dr. Berry’s efforts have already attracted significant interest from those within the low-carb and keto communities, where his advice on diet and lifestyle has resonated with individuals who feel underserved by conventional healthcare options. Many of his followers view the establishment of the American Diabetes Society as a critical step toward mainstream acceptance of low-carb solutions for diabetes.
The ADS launch arrives at a time when more people than ever are questioning the dietary guidelines put forth by traditional health organizations. With increasing evidence that low-carbohydrate diets may be effective for managing diabetes and other metabolic disorders, the ADS may well find an audience among those looking for sustainable ways to address their health concerns.
Looking Forward
As the ADS begins its journey, Dr. Berry remains optimistic about the impact his organization could have on the lives of millions of Americans. While the road ahead may be challenging—particularly given the controversies surrounding dietary recommendations—he believes the potential for positive change is significant.
“Imagine a world where diabetes isn’t something that controls your life,” Dr. Berry said. “We’re working toward that world, one step at a time.”
With a clear message and a growing community of supporters, the American Diabetes Society is poised to bring new ideas into the diabetes conversation. Whether this movement will reshape mainstream diabetes care remains to be seen, but Dr. Berry’s ADS is ready to make its case: that the path to health and wellness begins not with medication, but with education, lifestyle, and informed dietary choices.
