I have a diabetic client that is doing absolutely wonderful on the program. She has been on insulin and oral meds for 16 years. She has sent me an email that I feel is important to share to all diabetic patients out here in our forum. I have received permission to share her information with all of you.

Keri -
I am not one for chatting on a phone or telling you every minute how I am doing. I am sure you have enough people yapping to you.
But......... I am sitting here absolutely crying. Being a diabetic and on insulin is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. Now, thanks to Judy, you and this wonderful program, life is getting simpler and the pounds are coming off.
I started the diet 2 1/2 wks ago and.......
I was on Byetta (a shot) twice a day as well as insulin (a shot) twice a day.
As of today, I am only on Byetta once a day and my insulin has been reduced from 27 units in AM to 20 and from 30 units in PM to 15. I was told today to keep monitoring because it looks like the dosage will have to drop further.
YAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY.
If you have ANY diabetics that need to talk about this program, I am definitely your spokeswoman. Feel free to give them my e-mail.
Thanks again.
Cindy

This was sent to me on July 1st. I spoke with Cindy last night and she had visited the doctor once again. Her medication has been reduced even further and the doctor has stated that if she loses another 15-18 pounds, she may be totally off all insulin and oral meds.
I certainly hope that this provides hope to all..... not only are we dropping pounds, but we are becoming healthier and healthier by the minute.
If you would like Cindy's email address to discuss her situation individually, please PM me and I will be happy to provide it to you.
Happy Shaking to All!! Cheers to becoming healthy!!
