I am a type 2 diabetic living in England. Three months ago I was a mess. I weighed 227 pounds. My diabetes was out of control, and my doctor was talking about starting me on insulin injections. My general health was poor, and I had to give up work as I felt unable to cope. Then my son came home from America where he had been working for six months. He encouraged me to follow the Zone. I was reluctant at first. I've tried every diet going, but I was desperate and decided to give it a try. Ten weeks on I've already lost 20 pounds. I'm more alert, have much more energy and I'm hooked. The Zone's the way for me. By the way I went to the clinic today, and my blood glucose is so well controlled that not only was there no more talk about insulin, but my medication was cut in half.
