Remarkable results
I have been a client of Prolongevity for nearly a year now. However, my excellent results were apparent after only a few months. My main objective was to reduce my hba1c figures through diet and lifestyle. In only three months I got them down from 8.6 to 5.9 and have stayed there or just below. While 5.9 is the figure for a non-diabetic, I do still use insulin. However I now need less than a third of my previous dosage prescribed nearly 20 years ago and my GP is so pleased with my progress that she has experimentally taken me off Metformin (which gave unwelcome side effects) ahead of reviewing my next hba1c blood test figures. Pioneering diabetic researchers at Newcastle University have enabled some (mainly more recently-diagnosed) patients to dispense with insulin altogether, but I feel that knowledge of their research on diet and lifestyle in itself may not be enough. The ongoing individual examination, guidance and friendly encouragement provided by Prolongevity, not least via my fortnightly Zoom reviews, have been invaluable for me and have kept me on track. I thoroughly recommend the service.
Sorry if this review is getting a bit long, but I would like to add that my non-diabetic wife has been very happy to share my low-carb diet. This is not only because she enjoys the food and does not have to do extra cooking. It is also because she knows that recent research shows that high sugar/carb diets can adversely effect dementia, which unhappily is part of her family history.
