How does one begin to thank someone for saving their life?
I was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes in January 2002. It
was devastating because I have had ten members of my father's family
die of Diabetes related problems (including my father). My elder
sister had also developed the disease and was already taking seven
tablets a day and still not achieving blood glucose levels in single
figures. In the UK we use a slightly different method of measuring
BG. I have found that to understand your book properly I just
divide your BG figures by 18 to convert them to the UK equivalent.
I was put on the usual high carb diet and given no medications
and have been left alone for three months to "see how I get
on". Well, until I discovered your book I was not getting
on well at all. My blood glucose readings were hovering in
the range of 10 to 14 and I can remember my absolute delight when
I actually saw a reading of 9.4 at one time! However, since
buying your precious book and following your regime my blood glucose
levels have dropped to 6.4 - 7.1 (apart from the dawn phenomenon
which, without any medication I am unsure how I can overcome this).
I fully expect my BG levels to fall further over the coming weeks
(after all, I have only been on the regime for 11 days!!!!!!
I expect that before my next visit to my doctor in two weeks I will
have reached normal levels and will be extremely proud to tell her
how I have achieved this with your help.
I am so very grateful that I found your book before it was too
late. My eyesight has not been affected and my body shows
no signs yet of any diabetes problems apart from a very slight raise
in protein in the kidney for which I have been prescribed Ramipril
10mg per day. Now I am confident that I will never develop
complications and that I will live a full and happy life with normal
BG levels.
I read your book with tears streaming down my face when I discovered
that, at last, there was somebody who truly understood what I had
been and was going through. I also recommended the book to
my sister. My sister and her husband (also diabetic and extremely
ill after 7 strokes) both rang me to tell me that they were overcome
with emotion at finding a solution at long last to their problems.
Thank you so very much. These are very inadequate words
to express my feelings. I wish I could visit you myself to
thank you properly. You are wonderful.
