Transforming Diabetes Health With Determination and Resilience

Answering the (Wake Up) Call

When Mysty got called into her doctor’s office, she knew bad news was coming – but she didn’t know just how alarming it would be. Her fasting blood glucose was 404 and her A1c was over 15. In fact, her A1c was so high that it was above the highest possible reading the measurement device.

Mysty knew that she had to make big changes, and quickly. She had tried a vegan diet for a few months in the past and her best blood glucose numbers had occurred during that time, so she decided to go back to that approach. She was recommended to the Mastering Diabetes program and learned about a study that Mastering Diabetes was carrying out at Ohio University. She decided to join the study.

Before the study began, she binge-watched videos to understand the Mastering Diabetes Method and immediately cleaned out her cabinets and fridge. She committed 100% from day one, and her results reflect this.

Once she started the study and got personal support from a coach, she was able to fine-tune what she was doing and add more momentum to her results.

Watching the Numbers Go Down

She started experiencing benefits in the first week, and things improved from there. By three weeks into the program, her fasting blood glucose had gone from 404 to 113 – but she saw far more improvement than that. Her health changes at the time of writing this article are documented in the table below:

Energy Levels Through the Roof

Her favorite health improvement, however, is that her energy levels are “through the roof.” Prior to changing her diet, Mysty didn’t know that she was fatigued. She just thought that her daily experience was “what it feels like to be middle-aged,” but now she knows differently.

Mysty is continuously amazed and humored by her high energy levels. She recently took a trip to New York City with her 19-year old niece, and at age 58 she wore her niece out! She finds herself “hopping” up from the sofa and laughing at how crazy she must look. “I have so much energy now that I just don’t know what to do with it,” Mysty said. She recently took up running as another way to expend it.

It’s Worth a Try

Mysty loves her fruity breakfast and looks forward to it every morning. She enjoys making big pots of soup and cooking up vibrant vegetable-heavy meals, and happily eats the food that has been so healing for her body.

For anyone considering this approach, she wants you to know: Just try it! You don’t have to commit to it forever. Just try it for even just seven days, and see how you feel.
