An image shows an alleged honey recipe, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Glycopezil drops bottles, Barbara O'Neill and a red vitamin recipe promise, all part of a massive online diabetes scam.
Online users searched for Glycopezil reviews regarding a diabetes drops treatment after watching deepfake AI scam marketing featuring Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Barbara O'Neill and others.

In March 2026, online users searched for Glycopezil supplements — as well as Glycopezil reviews — to locate information about an alleged MIT-developed medicinal product to reverse type 2 diabetes. Those users looked for more details after viewing scam marketing videos purportedly showing Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Barbara O’Neill, Dr. Robert Lustig and Dr. Phil McGraw promoting a supposed honey recipe for diabetes — or a red vitamin recipe — followed by the reveal of a miracle product in the form of Glycopezil drops. The scam ads also featured Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Rebel Wilson, Meghan Trainor, Dr. Mehmet Oz, Serena Williams and others.

In short, MIT never developed or endorsed Glycopezil or any special diabetes cure. Scammers created deepfake AI and fully-AI depictions of Gupta, O’Neill, Lustig, McGraw, Hanks, Berry, Wilson, Trainor, Oz, Williams and others to allege they provided positive Glycopezil reviews involving a honey or Japanese red vitamin recipe for diabetes. No evidence supports Glycopezil drops, honey or red vitamins of any kind as a miracle product for diabetes.

An investigation of this product appears below in a recent YouTube video from Jordan Liles, titled, “Is Glycopezil for Diabetes Legit? Fake Glycopezil Reviews Feature Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Barbara O’Neill.” After that, look for a transcript from my Glycopezil YouTube video. I advise victims of this scam to report fraud to the FTC and to read up on NIA-funded diabetes treatment research.

Transcript from my Glycopezil YouTube video

The following is a word-for-word transcript from the above Glycopezil YouTube video from March 2026. Some quoted material exists as part of the scam:

Right at the top of this video, this video here is all about something called Glycopezil, Glycopezil. It is a dropper bottle, and the idea behind this is that it’s going to have properties that can help you reverse your type 2 diabetes. It’s going to have blood sugar support effects that are going to be at the miracle level, and it has Barbara O’Neill talking about like she’s a homeopath or a naturopath or whatever. But this has scam marketing all over it. Barbara O’Neill has nothing to do with this. No doctors, hospitals, celebrities, famous people ever endorsed anything about this, or universities.

This is something that’s been going around for a number of months. I could not find any information about who actually is behind the product—who’s the founder or founders? Who are the founders, right? Where are they located? Where is the facility where they bottle this product? And why is there so much information about this that lies to you in the scam marketing process? I’m not calling Glycopezil a scam, but I am saying that there’s quite a bit of scam marketing out there and no legitimate marketing whatsoever. So, come to your own conclusion as to why that must be. And a lot of this looks like it’s coming from Brazil. Big surprise. Let’s hit play on this; I’ll show you everything I know about this. Hit the like button down below, the thumbs up button. That will tell Google and YouTube my video has value and credibility. That really helped me out. This is again about Glycopezil or Glycopezil, Glycopezil reviews. If you’re looking around for Glycopezil scam or legit, any information about this, hopefully I can help you out.

“Everything they’ve told you about diabetes up to now is a lie. Researchers at MIT just made the most shocking discovery about type 2. They found a microscopic parasite living inside the pancreas.” So, it sounds like Barbara O’Neill, but it’s not her. It’s an AI voice with deepfake visuals, meaning manipulated lip movement using AI. And you might be wondering, well, how come Barbara O’Neill doesn’t sue or something? She’s using so many scams, it’s probably not worth the time, effort, time, and money, right? It’s also probably not worth trying to find the people because the people behind these scams obviously hide. That’s obvious. I mean, they don’t want to be found.

“… of diabetic patients and it’s sabotaging every gram of insulin your body produces. While you’re watching this video, it’s feeding on your pancreatic cells, making any conventional treatment practically useless. But here’s the part the pharmaceutical industry doesn’t want you to know. There’s a simple red vitamin costing less than $1 a day capable of eliminating this parasite and restoring the natural function of your pancreas. And you’ll be surprised when you find out what it is. The diet you follow with such discipline. The Metformin you swallow religiously every day. The Ozempic that costs a fortune and makes you nauseous. None of that was made to cure you. It was made to keep you sick and in pain. I know this is hard to hear. I myself didn’t believe it when I found out. But answer me one thing honestly: if these treatments really worked, why are you still here? If you feel that exhaustion that never goes away no matter how many hours you sleep. If you have tingling in your feet or hands that’s getting worse. If you feel a thirst that no amount of water can quench. If you wake up two, three, four times a night to go to the bathroom. If your vision is getting blurry. If your numbers keep staying high even though you’re doing everything right, then this parasite is already acting inside you. And it’s not your fault. It’s not a lack of discipline. It’s not because you ate that sweet you weren’t supposed to. It’s because you’re fighting the wrong war. And I’m going to prove it to you right now. Because if you do nothing, this parasite will keep multiplying. Your numbers will go up. The tingling will turn into numbness. The numbness will turn into wounds that don’t heal.” So, this is a long video. It’s going to—we’re not going to watch the whole thing.

Again, this is going to be about Glycopezil, Glycopezil for diabetes, Glycopezil drops, Glycopezil reviews. You’re probably looking around for information about this. Is it legit? Is Glycopezil legit? No, it’s not. This is something that doesn’t have any miracle properties like it’s being described here in this scam marketing video. So don’t believe this video.

“And at some point, you’ll hear the word every diabetic fears: amputation. This parasite has already been linked to blindness, kidney failure, heart disease, and even dementia. That’s why over 70% of conventional treatments fail. They treat the symptom, but they never touch the cause. It’s like trying to bail out a boat without plugging the hole. My husband Michael almost died, not because he ignored the diabetes. He did everything the doctors told him to. He took insulin. He cut out sugar. He exercised. He checked his blood sugar every day. But his diabetes only got worse. The medical bill, it went over $14,000 in 2 years. And one night at 3:00 in the morning, I found him passed out on the bathroom floor. Blood sugar at 48. He nearly went into a coma. He didn’t die. But that night, something inside me died. My faith in the medical system that swore to take care of him. And something else was born. The rage of a wife who realized the man she loves was being treated as a customer, not as a patient. That rage took me to places most people never access. Studies from Yale, from the Cleveland Clinic, publications from the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology, research that the industry spent millions to make sure you’d never find.” So, it looks pretty believable. And maybe it doesn’t. I mean, it doesn’t really look that believable to me, but in terms of the believability of AI-enhanced videos, this is looking like something that could fool people. Let’s put it that way.

Again, this is about Glycopezil reviews, Glycopezil drops. I hope that my video here is helping you out. “And what I found made me cry because the answer existed. It had existed for years. It was simple. It was cheap. It cost less than $1 a day. And it was being hidden from you for a very clear reason. It would destroy a $327 billion a year market.” So, they’re showing you a pot, a pan, some some sort of mixture of something you can make at home is what they’re trying to tell you. But that’s a lie. It’s a hook to get you to keep watching the video. They’re lying to you about there being a recipe of a pantry ingredients, because they want you to keep watching their video. And this happens with thousands of medicinal product scams all the time. This is very common: the fake recipe offer that ends up being either a bottle of capsules or a dropper bottle like Glycopezil.

“That’s why I ask you watch this video until the end. It could be removed at any moment. The pharmaceutical industry is furious and I’ve already received legal threats to silence this information. But I’m not going to stop.” Yeah, the “Big Pharma doesn’t want you to know about this. Big Pharma’s mad.” This is something that they always include in these scam videos as well because they know that no one really likes Big Pharma. So, they’re trying to demonize them so that you agree with the people presenting you the video and buy the product. Don’t let them manipulate you. Don’t let the scammers manipulate you. “Because what happened to Michael can’t happen to anyone else. In the next 2 minutes, I’m going to show you how any person of any age can fight and permanently eliminate the real cause of type 2 diabetes with a 100% natural solution that’s easy to use and cheaper than your breakfast.”

So, she’s going to keep talking. It doesn’t really matter. This is going to end up taking you to somewhere where at the end of the process, it claims that you should buy Glycopezil. Glycopezil drops, a product for diabetes that’s going to help reverse type 2, type 2 diabetes. It’s going to be amazing. It’s going to claim it has a money-back guarantee. You can’t trust that because it’s going through a scam marketing funnel. It’s going to claim that it has no subscription, no autoship. But why would they be saying that? Maybe it does, and that’s why they’re doing—I see it all the time with different online scams. This will end up at the very end of the process going to ClickBank. And it has a 60-day money-back guarantee is what it says. No autoship, just like I said it was going to say, which is crazy. And they have fake photos of people holding the bottles, but they’re not actually holding them. They’re AI-generated people, which is really great. That’s really, really gives me a lot of confidence in this product. So, do not buy this. This is something that’s trying—that people out there are trying to sell this to you with scam claims. You need to go see a doctor.

There are so many medicinal products out there. People under my videos sometimes are like, “What about this other product I saw in another ad?” No. If you only see it online and you see it with deepfake AI scam marketing or questionable claims, fake doctors, people who are actors pretend to be doctors, I mean, just stay away from all that stuff. Go see a doctor. Even if you’re someone who’s like, “Well, I don’t trust doctors. I don’t like my doctor. I went to one doctor one time and I got really mad.” Ok, great. That’s wonderful. Talk to a friend or a family member and say, “Hey, who’s your doctor for this or that or whatever?” And see if they can give you a recommendation. That is way better than going and spending money on something online that is a scam the way it’s being marketed and then you lose hundreds of dollars, maybe thousands to something that will do nothing to help you and you’re just helping out scammers. It’s a whole lot better to go see a doctor your friend or family member recommends than going and falling for an online scam, a textbook online medicinal product scam. I hope that makes sense to you.

Transcript for earlier Glycopezil video (January 2026)

The following is another transcript from the above Glycopezil YouTube video from January 2026. Some quoted material exists as part of the scam:

Glycopezil drops reviews and complaints: If you’re looking up information about “Glycopezil drops blood sugar support,” a little dropper bottle, a product that claims it’s going to be able to help you “reverse type 2 diabetes,” whatever it may be, I’m seeing some scam marketing going around with this. I’m not saying the company has anything to do with it; could be an affiliate, a third party sort of a thing, a misuse of the product name, whatever it may be.

There was some scam marketing going around that prominent doctors and maybe even celebrities had something to do with endorsing the product and that it’s going to have “miracle solution” properties to it, like it’s going to be able to “reverse your type 2 diabetes.” “It’s going to be amazing, it’s finally the product that we need, it’s going to be awesome”—and Glycopezil or “pezil” whatever is not something that’s going to be able to help you do that. It might just be a “standard blood sugar support product.” I can’t find much information, if any, about who makes it, where it comes from, anything like that, which—go see a doctor first off. Second, if you can’t find more information, contact information about a product online in terms of who made it, where was the research done, has it been backed by credible institutions, etc., maybe move on to something else. That—that’s my word of advice on that.

So, you can see here there’s a deepfake that we’re going to see, or a video rather with deepfakes, and maybe it’s going to show Dr. Mehmet Oz and other people. I’m going to hit play on this. This appears on a website that is pretending to be 60 Minutes, and it’s not 60 Minutes. Of course, this is something where, you know, let’s just hit play and you can see exactly what I’m talking about. “Drinking this honey recipe before bed eliminates the diabetic parasite from your pancreas, resets your insulin, and reverses type 2 in a matter of days. I understand this might sound too good to be true.”

He said “reverse type 2 in matter of days.” Why did he say “inches” instead of “in a matter of days”? Because the AI-generated voice making it look like Dr. Oz talked about this read “in” as “inches,” which is hilarious.

“But I need you to pay close attention. This is the last time I can share this before they take this video down. Just a 15-second native trick forces your body to flush out this nasty…” There is no “15-second native trick.” There is no recipe. They’re lying to you. That’s a classic scam marketing funnel promise. It’s going to be a “recipe,” right? And just keep watching, “We’re going to give you that recipe.” They’re never going to give you a recipe. The recipe is the “hook” to get you to watch usually what ends up being an hour-long video, or like 30 or 45 minutes, or even 75 minutes somewhere around there. And that’s what that is—that’s a lie to get you to watch the whole video. There is no recipe. They’ll show you people stirring stuff up. For certain products for like memory loss, they’ll be like, “Oh, here’s some manuka honey and we also mix that with some Vicks VapoRub. Ooh, that’s interesting,” ’cause it’s a familiar product. That’s why they’re doing that. It’s all garbage. They’re lying to you.

“And lower your A1C in a few hours. The shocking truth is that nine out of 10 Americans have type 2 and less than 1% know it. That’s because the real culprit of type 2 isn’t sugar or carbs. All these Americans are victims of a 1.2-inch parasite that lives latched onto the pancreas sucking your beta cells and insulin.” So Glycopezil reviews and complaints: If you’re looking around for information about that or the “diabetes parasite,” the diabetes parasite is something that is often included in marketing for these products, likely coming from Brazil, that have Portuguese language in URLs, you know, web addresses. And they’ll claim that like there’s a “diabetes parasite.” That’s like the buzzword, keyphrase, interesting thing they always like to talk about, and that’s just to grab your attention. You’re like, “Yeah, there’s a parasite. Maybe if I can just get rid of that.” Don’t believe in that sort of stuff. Whether or not there is a “diabetes parasite” doesn’t matter because they’re lying to you about lots of other stuff in this video, not just the fact that Dr. Oz has nothing to do with this. Of course, it’s a deepfake with AI-generated audio.

“It acts like a vampire. It drains your beta cells and devours all your insulin before your body can even use it. That is why you feel chronic fatigue, uncontrollable hunger, run to the bathroom at night, and feel that terrifying tingling in your feet. The parasite is stealing your vital energy. The good news: a 2024 study from a Japanese university discovered that this parasite has a fatal weakness. A specific honey ritual mixed with two simple ingredients that acts like a natural acid to this creature, but it is completely safe for you. Just 3 minutes after drinking it, it forces the parasite to detach and you simply flush it out in your urine the next morning. The relief is immediate. Your A1C plummets and after a few days, it will never go above 4%.”

They’re promising immediate relief, like finally type 2 diabetes will be gone. “Just—just fall for our scam,” that’s what they’re saying. This scam marketing funnel on what is not an official website for Glycopezil drops—and I’m not saying Glycopezil is a scam or legit; I’m not going to try the product—but I am saying once again, go see a doctor. I hope that that message gets across to you, what exactly I’m trying to tell you about all of this.

“Again, your vision clears and your sugar levels will never go above 95 again. Big Pharma is furious and trying to wipe this…” Oh yes, the old “Big Pharma doesn’t want you to know about this.” “60 Minutes investigating how celebrities and everyday people are reversing type 2 in record time. I’m going to let Sanjay Gupta’s program play now.” Sanjay Gupta never talked about this. “60 Minutes” never talked about it. Dr. Phil McGraw never talked about it.

“We investigate how Halle Berry, Tom Hanks, Randy Jackson, several other celebrities are reversing type 2 diabetes using a new method known as the reverse…” So they’re now playing a video that I’ve seen before that—Dr. Oz’s beginning was like added-on—”mechanism triggered by Ozempic and Munharo.” “Munharo”? You mean Mounjaro, right? Isn’t that how it’s pronounced? “When prepared correctly, here’s what really shocked the investigators. People following this morning ritual are reversing their type 2 and getting out of the zone before Christmas.” This is all a massive online scam with lots of different websites trying to sell this product as a “miracle product.” And this product will change names soon. Nope, Dr. Phil McGraw has nothing to do with this. This product’s going to change names at some point. It probably is a past product that’s been changed to Glycopezil drops. They’re going to show a fake Halle Berry here. Completely AI-generated video of her in a kitchen. Everything you see there is fake. The kitchen and Halle Berry are completely AI-generated. “Video Halle Berry sent us: This reversal ritual is amazing. In just 15 days, my blood sugar dropped 200 to 110, and by the end of three months, I was completely off insulin and my A1C was back to normal. And no, it wasn’t those Ozempic pens everyone is thinking about. It was all thanks to this morning ritual I made every single morning.”

These test results you see on the screen—this is of course her on like a late-night show with deepfake visuals and AI-generated audio—”because I truly believe everyone should try this before Christmas if they want to get rid of diabetes. It really works. You can see your numbers plummet in just a week. I even shared a tip with a friend of mine, um, and his blood sugar stabilized at 98 in one week.” He’s “98 in”? Really? 98 “in” one week. “It is truly astonishing to imagine that a ritual costing less than a dollar… could have such a powerful effect, especially when compared to Ozempic and Mounjaro pens.”

Why did the scammers make it seem like he’s talking about this when clearly he’s looking at someone to ask him a question in an interview? Like, is that the level of intelligence happening here? To verify this, we’ve brought in none other than Dr. Robert Lustig. Yeah, so, this Dr. Robert Lustig also has nothing to do with this. Over and over again that I’ve seen the same scam. “World’s leading expert on carbohydrates and the dangers of diabetes. Dr. Lustig, with your decades of experience, is this really possible? Just like you, Sanjay, I am absolutely shocked by these results. And honestly, it is impressive to see how something so simple and inexpensive can deliver transformations like this.”

“Anyone can do this at home. I’ve been seeing thousands of videos on TikTok and other social media platforms from men and women thanking Phil for this discovery. Everyday people are seeing their glucose drop 50, 80, 100, and even 150 points in just 10 days using this $1 ritual. I struggled with high blood sugar for years, but this ritual changed the game. In 9 days, my levels stabilized in a way no medication ever could. I’m still processing how something so simple can be so effective. Hey, listen up. This stuff actually works. In just one week, my levels plummeted. It was insane. My wife looked at the test and said, ‘Wait a minute. What did you do?’ I used to see a bunch…”

I think they show Patti LaBelle at some point here, too; I think that’s her name. Dr. Phil. “Over 14,789 Americans are already using this recipe today. But listen closely.” Nope, I don’t need to listen closely. And I’m not talking to Dr. Robert Lustig; I’m talking to the AI-generated version of him. He has nothing to do with this. He’s being misused. So 60 Minutes never reported on this. Glycopezil drops reviews and complaints: If you’re looking around for information about this, 60 Minutes never did anything about this.

And wouldn’t you know it, on the page that I was on, it claims that CBS News is what the page is all about and that it says, “Urgent: Thousands of Americans are reversing type 2 diabetes after discovering a hidden parasite in the pancreas. Over 15,000 Americans have already reversed diabetes for less than $45.” It will then try to get you to buy the product called “Glycopezil Blood Sugar Support.” It will go to a very scammy checkout page which—which I’m waiting for it to load.

I’m not going to show you everything here. Sometimes it says “FDA approved,” sometimes it says it’s not going to “auto-ship,” meaning it’s not going to be a subscription, but it might be a subscription and you can’t trust “money-back guarantees” and they might charge you more money than they claim they’re going to charge you. All of this is bad obviously because it’s going through a scam funnel using deepfakes with AI-generated audio, and it’s pretty terrible.

So, I hope that I’ve helped you with my video. Glycopezil, if you’re looking up Glycopezil for diabetes, like, comment, subscribe. There’s a “join” button down below. Let me know if you have any other questions about this. Do not purchase this. If you did purchase it, tell me your story down below. Tell me what happened. Tell me anything. Don’t—don’t consume any of this stuff until you check with a doctor. And I don’t—I don’t mean “until,” like, go check with the doctor, they’ll say yes and go consume it.

This stuff, if you can’t vet where it’s coming from, if it’s even an official product—officially Glycopezil or whatever—I’m saying this about anything related to this: just go see a doctor. And I personally would never consume anything having to do with something that has this much scam marketing. So just vet stuff before you consume it or try it or buy it. I guess that’s why you’re watching my video. You’re vetting it through me, which—thank you for doing that.
