Reversing My Diabetes and Losing 101 Pounds!
In 2005, I survived a near-death experience with diabetes and a blood glucose level of 675 (more than 570 points above normal) while in the hospital for several days.
I credit my recovery to God, my wife (Kathy), my 3 sons, and my belief that there was a better way to live. Thanks to my wife who spent the majority of the time with our 3 sons, I was able to study and research what was going on in my body, and figure out what foods were best for me to fight and reverse my diabetes within 3 months.
I used my experience as a licensed massage therapist and my understanding of nutrition to dramatically improve my health by:
- Losing 100 pounds
- Getting rid of the gout
- Getting rid of the night sweats
- Weaning off the insulin shots
- Reversing my diabetes
Once I reversed my diabetes, various people noticed the weight loss and asked me how I did it. This led me to share my story of recovery with others, who were also suffering with Type 2 diabetes, obesity, and too many prescription medications.
With the support of my sister-in-law (who owns a health training facility), I began conducting diabetes lectures and sharing my story with people in the community.
This may sound strange, but diabetes saved my life! Being in the hospital with a blood sugar over 600 was so scary that it motivated me to find a way to get healthy.
I hope that I will be able to share my story and help more people. For more information, please visit my diabetes website and my diabetes blog.
