"For ten years my pre-diabetes markers had gotten worse, and I was worried that I was in danger of developing type 2 diabetes in my 40s. After doing some reading, I decided to start a low carb program and see if it made any difference.

I was initially surprised by the amount of fats that the Defeat Diabetes Program recommends. However, I found that it actually gave me a very stable level of energy and appetite right thoughout the day, even though I wasn't eating carbs.

My biggest vice is white bread - it still is - but the Defeat Diabetes low carb Three Seed Bread has become a big winner in my house!

Like many people, I've hit some roadblocks and had setbacks, but my advice is just to have a go. If you experiment with a low carb program like Defeat Diabetes you'll soon understand whether it's changing your metabolism and your levels of energy and wellness.

It's early days, but every moment on the Defeat Diabetes Program makes a difference. I know the program can help, and I encourage people to have a look at it. It's certainly helping me.

I feel a lot better, I feel a lot stronger and I can see that it's making a big difference.

And although I haven't lost significant kilos (yet!), I haven't gained any - and for me, that's a first."
