I've been to my doctor's for a regular checkup he said, "Oh, your diabetes is out of control,
you need Metformin, you need...
Your cholesterol is high, you need Crestor, and here's your
scripts."
I found Mastering Diabetes, talked to Robby, I signed up right away, on the spot, and a
year later my A1c is 5.4%, you know, normal range, cholesterol is down.
And, the funny thing is my doctor goes, "Oh, yeah, your scripts will
be waiting for you out front... wait a minute, you
don't need medication."
And I'm like "Yes!"
I was so excited.

I've been really grateful to be a part of the Mastering Diabetes community.
I've learned so much over the past year, and to look back on where
I was a year ago, it's been an incredible journey.
This time last year, I was really, really upset.
I thought that, not that the world was coming to an
end, but pretty close.
You know, I've been to my doctor's for a regular checkup he said, "Oh,
your diabetes is out of control, you need Metformin, you need...
Your cholesterol is high, you need Crestor, and here's your scripts", and
I said, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait, wait a minute.
I don't want to do that, I really don't."
I went to the pharmacy and they said, "If you give me another script for the strips,
I can, you know, start checking again, they'll upgrade
my meter for free, and all this wonderful stuff."
And I was really surprised, he looked at me and
said, "Why?
Do you want to poke yourself every day?", "No, I don't want to", I said, "But
if I have to I will."
And I said, "Is this not a tool, you know, to gauge where I'm at?"
And his attitude was, "Well, I'll write you this script if you want", I said
"Yeah, yeah please do."
So, he did, I went back to the pharmacy, got my meter, got my strips,
started checking and I was higher than what I was before.
So, I found Mastering Diabetes, talked to Robby, I signed up right away, on the spot,
and a year later my A1c is 5.4%, you know, normal range,
cholesterol is down.
And, the funny thing is my doctor goes, "Oh, yeah, your scripts will
be waiting for you out front... wait a minute, you don't
need medication."
And I'm like "Yes!"
I was so excited.
I had also started watching some of these documentaries, like "What The Health."
Years ago, I had watched "Super Size Me" and "Forks Over
Knives."
And I'm thinking, I don't even know what to eat, I was almost scared, actually
scared to eat, like, what can I eat?
I didn't think I could eat corn and potatoes.
So, when I signed up for the program, and downloaded The
Carbohydrate Ninja Guide, one of the first recipes I saw in there, when I started looking
at it, roasted potatoes with rosemary.
I go, I make that all the time, I love it.
So, I started with that, I started with, you know, and I go, corn, "I can eat corn!", I
was really excited about it, like okay, minus the butter
and salt, that's the way I used to eat it, but there was
different options in there, like with the spices.
And it was good, I wasn't missing the butter and
salt.
You know, I put on the barbecue, and put cardamom and cinnamon on it, and it was
wonderful, I could eat that.
So, I started from there, and then I branched out to some of the other recipes, other ideas
that they had in there, like I've since tried passion
fruit.
I was so excited when I found them here, in my local grocery store, like I've had them
on vacation in Mexico, but when I saw them here, at
the grocery store, "Yeah!
OK!"
Typically, breakfast is fruit, I like green smoothies, and it's very quick very easy for
me.
I go through a lot of bananas, I eat a lot of bananas,
because they're, they're handy, they travel well,
and I found that when I make it, when I have bananas, especially in a smoothie like spinach,
that's a good way for me to get my greens in as well.
Again, with the greens, it doesn't spike my blood sugar.
I can have three, four bananas and I'm fine, and it helps keep me full.
Berry bowls, I like the berry bowls, one of my favorite
breakfasts is blueberries with mango.
And sometimes, if I'm feeling like, it maybe this isn't going
to hold me, I'll add the chia seeds to it, that sort of
thing.
Lunch is typically, sometimes I'll have potatoes, quinoa, again they're fairly easy.
I try and keep things, I try and keep things simple, I learned
that from Adam actually, I love his webinar, When
Shift Happens.
So, lunches, potatoes, quinoa, sometimes salad, beans, that sort of thing.
And then, dinner is usually a fairly large salad, there's a sweet
kale blend that I buy in the grocery store here, and
I'm still actually not bored of it, because for me that's one thing about salads, sometimes
you get really bored of having salad again.
But, this blend, I really like it, it has shredded Brussels
sprouts, kale, other greens, and that sort of thing.
So yeah, I'm surprised I'm still not bored of it.
I have more energy than I did.
I sleep better, and that doesn't surprise me, because at one point
I tried raw vegan, for about a month, just to see if I could do it, this is before I
started the program, just to see if I could do it.
And it was difficult.
I was happy about it because I was losing about 2 pounds a week when I was doing
this, but looking back, I probably wasn't eating
enough.
And one thing I've found with the Mastering Diabetes Program is, there is so much
information out there, with the online course I'm going through, all the modules, plus Cyrus
and Robby, they're updating it, I've noticed that.
Also, the coaching group on Facebook, there's just
so much wonderful support and tips.
I noticed when I first started the program, just being part of the group, it was sort
of like, "Okay, that's how they do that.
That's how you do that, that's what they're talking about."
Because, for me I think the big thing, what I needed to
learn or what I found most helpful, is learning how to
shop, like I'm buying mangos by the case now, I would never, I would never even think of
doing that before.
Also, handling social situations which can be very tricky, but I had the wedding, I
had a charity fundraising banquet that we went to, family holiday get-togethers, you
know.
And these situations can be hard to navigate.
Those were two of the big things I needed, in order to
to help keep this sustainable.
And so, it was in January, I reached my goal.
And that was another thing it, the first module is
goal setting, and that I found there is a very powerful exercise as well, like okay,
why are you doing this, you set your goal, and post it,
I had it posted on the fridge, posted where you can see
it.
I had it in my in my bag that I bring to work, post it on the bathroom mirror, and then you
remember.
Okay, this is why I am I'm doing this, you get very specific, and that helps keep you
on track too.
Having reached goals that I had set out, losing 28 pounds, 28 weeks which took me to January,
since then I've had maintained my weight, blood sugar has been pretty stable, like in
the mornings.
Seeing the results, like the blood work when it came in, I was really, really happy.
I mean, I was just so excited.
Go for it, work the program.
I'm also pretty lucky in that I work in a greenhouse, so I'm not sitting at a desk all
day, and I think that's been part of my success too.
So, the program works, because it combines diet and exercise, and I believe you need
both.
And this program shows you how to do it, in a way that is sustainable.
This program is very doable, it works.
So, yes there are challenges, and they could be, you know, different, they're
going to be different for everybody, but being able to see what your challenges are, and
work through them, this program shows you how to
do that.
It's been a great support, the community is wonderful, if you fall off, nobody beats
you up about it, so you get back up, and keep going,
keep moving forward.
And yeah, to anybody starting, the program works, it really, really does.
I heard others say it, it's true.
