I weighed 265 lbs last October. Diagnosed with Type II diabetes with an A1c Glucose level of 7.8 and fasting level of 195. I started the Zone Diet and walked 30 minutes 5 times per week. Two months later my A1c Glucose was 5.8 and fasting blood sugar levels of 119 or just above normal and under control. I have lost 34 lbs since last October and have much more energy and I feel good. I continue to lose about a pound per month.
