Jay's Story

Results may vary.

Jay is amazed and thankful for how quickly he is almost off diabetic medication and no longer has cholesterol issues  

Absolutely amazing! I have been on Dr. Fuhrman's Nutritarian diet since November 10, 2015, which is just a period of three months as of this writing..  For many years I was on Metformin (500 mg twice daily) for my diabetes and statins (one/daily).  I came across his book on bringing diabetes to an end (The End of Diabetes). 

I lowered my A1c from 6.4 to 5.7 during this short time. My total cholesterol went from 193 to 143; triglycerides from 127 to 73;  LDL cholesterol from 110 to 67 and  HDL to 61 from 58. Another major benefit of lowering triglycerides was being able to lower my LDL-P ( I had to do a NMR Lipidprofile, a test that is not normally performed) for improved blood flow and circulation. I was able to lower my total cholesterol/HDL ratio from 3.3 to 2.3.

I am absolutely thrilled to be on this program. My eventual goal is to be able to get off metformin altogether, but that is not a big problem for now. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to share my story here. It is truly amazing what this diet can accomplish to help with this terrible disease that is having a major impact on our lives.
