Hi everyone

I'm a newbie here.  I've been on a quest to learn how to control my blood sugar.  My doctor told me that I had diabetes about 4 years ago, and I have had trouble keeping my sugar down no matter how many meds I would take.  I have to say after reading these books I now understand what I have been doing wrong.  Thank you Doug for making it so easy to understand.  I have been following your advice for only a week now and already have lost 5 lbs. and the blood sugar is now staying steady and in the safe range!!  I feel great for the first time in a long time.  I found these books on the advice of a friend that lost a lot of weight using them thinking I could lose some too..... I had no idea of the benefits I would find!!  Thank you thank you thank you  ;D ;D ;D

Welcome to our family, TooSweet! :) :) :) :) :) :)

I was also a type II diabetic for the last 6 years or so.

Last month, my doctor took me off my blood sugar med (Metformin) and declared that I'm no longer diabetic!
My A1C was 5.3!!! ;D ;D ;D
My blood glucose was 115.

My other numbers were well within healthy ranges:

My total cholesterol was 124!
My LDL cholesterol was 66!
My HDL cholesterol was 48!
My triglycerides were 51!

And my blood pressure was 106/72.
The doc reduced one my HBP meds in half!!! ;D

If you stick to the FTS rules, you WILL not only lose your excess weight, but become MUCH healthier as well.

You are very welcome TooSweet, isn't it a shame that your doctor didn't resolve this problem for you  >:(  I hope one of these days the medical community starts looking at natural cures instead of relying on drugs for everything but I'm not holding my breath!

Doug you are so right.... I take so much other medication for other reasons.   It seems that all they want to do is throw a pill at me.  I decided that I needed to do something and take my health in my own hands so to speak!!   So why not start here...LOL  I was really afraid that I would get very low sugar because they told me that I needed between 40 and 60 carbs per meal or 180 a day!!  Of course they had me counting all wrong and I never had to subtract any fiber or sugar alcohols.  No wonder I couldn't ever drop any!!  Geez.... My sugar to my surprise has stayed in normal range at a steady course!!  Woot woot!!!   I will talk with him the next time I go to see about not having to take as much.  I am anxious to see what my blood counts will be.  Cross your fingers for me ;D  So far I have lost 7lbs and 3 inches around the middle!!!  Yea   :D :D :D :D   I like being special but not in that way...haha
