Kilter 2017

I come from a family with several diabetics, but only began taking it seriously when my mom, a long time diabetic, started also developing symptoms of gout.

Thanks to some thoughtful advice from a diabetes specialist, a nutritionist and Tastespotting recipe modifications by my wife, we soon developed a 9-day diet my mom actually would follow.

The results for her were astounding, with rapid reduction of blood sugar scores, reduced insulin needs and recession of gout symptoms. The results also extended to us, with substantial weight loss for me and more surprsingly eyesight improvements for my wife.
