Today my haemoglobin is around 5.6, 5.8. It never goes above 6 any more.

At 20, I weighed 68 kg and stood 1.73 m. I put on weight little by little, after my successive pregnancies. I have had type 2 diabetes since the age of 45. In May 2016, my hospital diabetes specialist told me (my haemoglobin was close to 11) that I would be put on insulin in the very near future; the 3 medicines I was taking were no longer enough to control my diabetes. That was what I dreaded most. My doctor had often remarked that my weight was too high and that my diabetes would be better if I lost some kilos. I think what tipped the balance was the fear of ending up on insulin.   

When I started his method, I weighed 98 kg. One day he came to the house and, seeing that I was worried with my very high haemoglobin, he said to me: « Mrs S, I have a solution for you. If you follow my advice properly, you will lose fifteen kilos or so and that will be enough to improve your diabetes. And we may even be able to reduce your medicines. And I sincerely think there will be no more question of insulin afterwards. In twenty minutes or so, I can explain how to go about it. »

I said all right. He began and I listened to all his explanations. I took a few notes. It was so simple and so obvious that I could hardly believe it.

So I had a sort of intuition straight away. I grasped that what he was explaining to me was going to change my life. I had great trust in my doctor. He has looked after my whole family for many years. I decided to apply to the letter everything he had just told me. I started the very next day. The results did not keep me waiting; more than 2.5 kilos by the end of the very first week! then 1.5 kg in each of the next two, then 1 kg to 1.2 kg, then 700 g to 800 g. It was all so simple. At two months, I had lost 10.5 kilos and, to my great surprise, without any difficulty. It was extraordinary. 3 months, 14 kg. After a year, I had lost more than 20 kilos. Then I reached a total loss of 28 kg.   My diabetes, which was in a very bad way at the start of the programme, settled down week by week. My medicines became too strong. They were reduced little by little.

Today, all this goes back several years. My weight is steady at around 70-71 kg. So I have never put my old weight back on and I have always been able to control very easily the few small variations in weight from time to time. Today my haemoglobin is around 5.6, 5.8. It never goes above 6 any more. Of the three medicines I was taking, only one is left today, and its dose has even been reduced! Insulin, of course — nobody mentions it to me any more! My other readings have improved too. I had a little cholesterol. Without treatment, it has come down as well. I am delighted with this result and well aware that losing weight has pushed my illness back. 

I obviously recommend this method to anyone with type 2 diabetes and excess weight. But I also recommend it to anyone who simply wants to lose kilos to get their figure back and feel better in their own skin.
