I am told I can reverse my diabetes

6 Dec 2018
When my friend John told me I could reverse my diabetes I was totally dismissive. I thought he refereed to some fad diet but he challenged me to look into it. I found some lectures on YouTube and that encouraged me to buy his book the blood sugar diet.

10 Dec 2018
The book recommended you speak to your diabetic nurse or doctor before starting so I went. The response was so supportive, the nurse said Dr Glenn wanted all his diabetic patients to try it. I had lost a stone since coming to the UK, healthy food and stress stopping me eating. At that time I was 16 stone 38.2 BMI with a waist of 50 inches

So far so good

I do like Barry, the people are so friendly. In Morrisons the other day and a member of staff offered me a Trebor Mint. My little flat is so convient for the shops. Morrisions is literally 2 minutes away and you have to go oast poundland and argos to get there. How cool is that!

Been buying a few bits and pieces, warm clothing and a book case.

Lots of old friends have been in contact made me life so happy. Even got an invite for Christmas to a friend in Exeter. We were on the same TOPS course in 1980 and we worked together at the same company. I lived at her place for a bit and we went on holiday with her kids.
