I am Type II diabetic.

I was not healing as well as I had when I was younger and was starting to feel some numbness in the toes at times three years ago.

Two and a half years ago, I saw Barry Sears on television and liked what he said, I bought the book and tried his diet for two weeks like he recommends. After that, I adopted the Zone Diet (Dr. Barry Sears, "Enter The Zone" book).

I was on medication. Within 24 hours I had to quit the medication and within two weeks the diet was controlling my blood sugar better than the medication was doing. Over the first five months, I lost 40 pounds, and I've kept it off.

A typical morning blood glucose reading is 88 to 93 with my OneTouch meter. It was 88 today. I don't experience any numb feelings anymore and my healing has gone from two or three weeks to a few days to a week now.

The periodontal disease that caused me to lose most of my teeth and had
loosened two more until I was about to have them pulled seems to have
been reversed.

The teeth have tightened up more than the dentist said they should be for the amount of bone that is left. My gums have quit bleeding and are now nice and pink. There are likely other things that have improved that I don't know about.

But, hey, it's only food and a balanced way of eating that makes you more healthy, gives you more energy, and, in my case, controls the blood sugar. At my last physical, my blood pressure was down from a previous of 140 over something to 108 over 68 or something like that

"I've bought five of those books now, one for me, three for my daughters, and one for a diabetic friend to replace a favor.

He and his wife went on the diet. He went from three heart pills for high blood pressure and three diabetes pills a day to 1 heart pill and 1/2 of a
diabetes pill a day within over a period of about a year. His wife had a bad
cholesterol problem, over 300, a recent check had her down to 180. All
because of this way of eating. He says that the Zone Diet saves him $500
a month on medication.

None of my daughters have diabetes yet. The oldest one, in her early
40's, was greatly overweight and could hardly walk. She has lost 70
pounds on the Zone Diet and can now walk two miles at a go. The middle
daughter is on the diet, but not strict and is getting some benefits. A
batch of hormone replacement shots blew her weight loss. The youngest
daughter says she can't bring herself to eat that much protein and
wouldn't go on the diet. I'm concerned for her in the long haul.

There is no guarantee that the Zone way of eating will help everyone,
we are all different, but it is a very small expense to buy the book,
read it, and try the diet. It definitely will not hurt you and it just
might help reverse some of those problems you may be having, like being
overweight, having low energy, illness too often, etc.
