Title: Canada entry #82
Post by: Doug Varrieur on July 20, 2010, 02:17:03 PM
Hello there!

I am not sure you will except this entry for a chance to win a copy of Fat to Skinny.....but here goes:

I am sending this email on behalf of my brother in North Carolina.  My brother has Type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea in which he uses a machine, and a bad knee from a previous vehicle accident, and arthritis in both knees.  He is 58 years old and works as an IT guy in one of North Carolina's hospitals.  His weight is probably around 250 pounds and he does take insulin injections for his condition.

I know that if he could lose some weight, that most, if not all of his health issues would significantly be better, if not vanish.  Could you imagine taking care of Type 2 and sleep apnea at the same time...not to mention hopefully not using a cane to walk?  I was quite encouraged and interested in the article in the Edmonton Sun and it made me think there may be hope for my brother.  He is the most funny, wonderful, caring man and he deserves to live a healthier lifestyle.

Thank you for listening!

Yours truly,

Denise
