"On September 29, 2018 I weighed 240lbs and set a goal to get down to 175. Today, May 3, 2019 I have surpassed that goal a day before my goal! I am down to 164lbs. I had to weigh myself 3 times before I could believe! Now to sit back, savor the moment and let it all sink in."

"Three months ago my A1C was at a 7.2 and now that I have been using this approach it has dropped to a 5.9!"

"Eight months ago, I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. My A1C at the time was 10 and l will never forget how scared I felt. Life was heavy. Thanks to finding Mastering Diabetes and their guidance and support I was able to achieve an A1C of 5.8 after just 2 months on the program.
Now, eight months later, I have an A1C of 5.3, I have lost 45 pounds, 5 inches of my waist and I have the lowest cholesterol I have ever had. The most important thing I have gained is a great amount of hope for myself, my friends and my family. It’s been great to see several of my friends decide to follow in the same footsteps. I am so grateful to Mastering Diabetes!"

"Two months ago I had blood sugars in the 500s. I was using 80 units of Toujeo and 50 units of Humalog insulin in addition to Metformin and Bydureon. In the past two months I have followed the Mastering Diabetes dietary program without adding exercise. For the last two weeks I have been able to stop using all of the insulin and my 14 day average blood sugar is 125. Also, my A1c went from 13.8 to 8.4 in two months. Take that insulin resistance! Hello insulin sensitivity."

"Thank you for your help! I truly love the program. I no longer take Janumet. I am still on basal insulin 1 time per day and my fasting blood sugars have been wonderful! I wish to finish the course once my husband returns to work. I will continue to eat WFPB. I have so much more energy and just feel fantastic. I have a wonderful sense of well-being. I have lost 6 lbs since I started the plan as well! Keep up the good work healing!"

"My story is about slow and steady- I did not get over night dramatic results- my success came from day after day simply just never giving up. I can’t tell you how many times I cried my way through my gym workout, frustrated how slow the progress was, but I did it anyways. My message of hope is to those who are progressing slowly. Do not give up! Some of us have to fight harder than others but I promise it is all worth it. If you’ve fallen down, get back up and recommit! You are worth it."

"My husband has been following this program for 3 months now and we are VERY pleased with his numbers. His A1C has dropped from 7.3 down to 5.9, cholesterol 198 down to 147, triglycerides 228 down to 165, LDL 121 down to 88, VLDL 46 down to 33. Also, his HDL numbers are still low at a 31 down to 26 (we'll be working on that.) We still have work to do, but I know his doctor will be quite happy with his progress. Keep it up everyone! It takes time, but if you follow the program it DOES work!"

"I am ecstatic to share the results from my recent blood test. In 3 months my A1C has dropped from a 6.1 to a 5.3. Not only am I now non-diabetic, my cholesterol is in the normal range as well. I want to add my voice to many others in saying everything I thought I knew about diabetes was wrong and finding this approach has changed my life. I want to say thank you to Robby, Cyrus and the other coaches for all you do. The next challenge for me is sharing this lifestyle with my friends and family. I also had my A1C checked a few days later and it has gone from 6.1 down to 5.3 in the 3 months of being WFPB. That is the best news. I am 100% sold on eating this way."

"Mastering Diabetes has taught me the power of eating a whole foods plant based diet through coaching me on everything from certain foods to avoid for optimal glucose numbers to a sample breakfast that is well balanced. The effect that changing my lifestyle has had on my blood glucose levels, has caused a decrease in my insulin usage by 50%! I am forever grateful to this dedicated and inspirational company."

"I started this program 8 months ago and I have reduced my daily insulin use from 200 units to 50 units and I am on my way to reducing it more. I have also lost 11lbs. My cholesterol has dropped from 214 to 153, my triglyceride level is also at 153. I tell everyone about this program because of the amazing results I have seen! Thank you to the Mastering Diabetes team for all the support!"

"I started with mastering diabetes on December 1, 2017. My goals at that time were to lose 50 pounds and walk 10,000 steps a day. I was using about 75 units of insulin each day and I weighed 233 lbs. I reached my first goal within 4-1/2 months and am still working towards my second goal. I want to lose 50 more lbs. Presently I am using 10-15 units of insulin each day and I definitely want to get rid of insulin for good. Recently I weighed in at 177 lbs which is a total loss of 56 lbs so ai am well on my way to reaching my goals."

"I have lost 20 lbs and dropped all of my meds but one and will no doubt get rid of the last one. I have been feeling a lot better throughout the day and my a1c went from 12.9 to 7.0. Thank you for being a great impact on me."

"Normally if I wake up early and take a FBG it rises quickly to between 117 and 153. Today it went down under 100 for the first time in 20 days on my reduced insulin I have been taking. Also my weight went below 219.5 lbs for the first time in YEARS. Onward and downward. Now to eat my fruit breakfast and off to church."

"I used to be a fast food addict at 310lbs and a drug addict. I went to rehab and was diagnosed as a Type 2 diabetic. I made slow changes, I was on several medications including 1500mg of Metformin. I went vegan and was able to stop taking my medications. I eat a ton of fruits, vegetables, oatmeal, quinoa, potatoes. I eat more food now but I get to live life at a healthy weight. Now I get to help others living with the same problems I once had. I have never been so grateful and I wake up with a smile on my face and enjoy every single moment."

"I have lost 2.9 lbs last week and 3.5 lbs this week and my blood sugar has dropped by half. My A1c has gone from a 17.8 to an 8.4 but I’m no longer taking Jardiance and Rampril. No more horrible side effects . I am eating enough for sure. I have starting exercise this week and drinking Amla tea. I feel great and I am enjoying food so much more. My plates are pretty and full of color and texture. Food that's to be enjoyed is much appreciated. Big love Mastering Diabetes!"

"In case you are keeping score towards 1 million insulin resistant "cures" you can add my name. A good while back, Cyrus responded to me in an email...and long story short convinced me to NOT go Keto. Went WFPB with no added sugar, oil, or salt. Cured my T2D (FBS now in 80's) with the bonus of dropping cholesterol in half and clearing up longstanding chronic gut inflammation. Also lost 50 pounds. Getting the word out is tough even with my success. Hopefully the truth will win out."

"My blood sugar this morning was 112. This is the first time since I was diagnosed diabetic that my blood sugar has been this low. I wanted to give up but I keep on “persevering”. Today I am very happy! I am usually consistently high in the 200s no matter what I do. I constantly preach perseverance, yet I was struggling and wanted to give up and decided to practice what I preach! IT PAYS OFF!"

"I just got my test results back from the lab. I knew my A1C would be down but I am shocked as to how far it fell. It went from a 7.3 to a 5.2. Blessed. I have also lost 44 pounds. Thank you Mastering Diabetes."

"Wow was my new doctors reaction to my a1c! In December this number was 10.5. My old doctor said I would never go off any medicine on a WFLFPB diet but I ignored him and took myself off of one medication and cut one in half. I was taking 4 shots a day and 3 different oral medications. My new doctor is helping me get off of my medications, and he praised my dietary changes! My cholesterol and blood pressure are excellent. All this to say thank you to mastering diabetes. You keep me motivated."

"I have been eating a low-fat, whole food, plant based diet since March 2018. Now, I am on very little insulin and my fasting blood glucose today is 81. I am 5’4” and I weighed 197 lbs. in 2005; 133 lbs. in 2017 when I had A1C of 13; now 115-120 lbs. I’m getting SO CLOSE to all of my goals!"

"Two weeks ago I joined the Mastering Diabetes program and my fasting BG is already 104 and it continues to be in an acceptable range. I stopped taking medications yesterday. Eliminating the oil and dairy did the trick. Now I am a believer."

"In just 10 days my weight has dropped from 197 to 192, I am able to walk up to 1600 steps. My fasting blood glucose has stabilized between 148 to 138, I am reducing my medications already!"

"I'm shocked and delighted...on my first day of fruit for breakfast and two hours later 110! It is a number I don't usually see since I’m usually 250 or higher! Three days a week I work 12-hour night shifts then one day break and switch to a 12-hour day shift...so I eat and sleep at different times. Oh, I am so happy! I have hope!!"

"I have battled Type 2 diabetes for nearly 12 years. I began listening to this podcast about a year ago. Every episode has furthered my knowledge of this disease and empowered me to eat healthier and continue to exercise regularly. I’m indebted to Robby and Cyrus in many ways but especially for pointing me to the C-peptide and Autoimmune tests that helped me and my doctor determine that I am  type 1.5 diabetic. If only I had come across this information two or more years ago! I want to tell you personally that you and your guests have been so helpful and encouraging. Thank you. Keep up the mission. Although I’m now insulin dependent your example inspires me to keep going for a healthy lifestyle. Although I’m 64, I work out rigorously an hour a day and feel great. I’m at my ideal body weight and have no worries of being overweight again because of the diet you guys promote which is lifestyle for me."

"For anyone in doubt that this life style change works I am here as proof it works. In January my doctor advised my A1C was 7.4. I told him I will take care of it I am not going on meds. I found this group and in April my A1C was 6.1 and I was down 25lbs. I am thrill to report todays follow up doctors report my A1C is 5.4. I have lost 60lbs since January. I am half way to my weight goal. All other test results were excellent except my Cholesterol was higher than it was last visit. My doctor is perplexed and so am I. That said I will be 65 next week and I have at least 60lbs to lose. I also know I need to increase my exercise. I am hoping this will help bring it down. Any advice is appreciated. For now I am going to enjoy my current success to fuel me to the next level. Enjoying the journey. Thank you all for your support."
