Personal and public perspectives
This program is giving me much information I have never heard of before regarding reversing diabetes --- and the information makes sense!
I had been researching diabetes reversal for a while and spent many, many hours reading often opposing information.It was organized and presented very logically, making it easy to follow and understand.
I am determined to not only reverse my blood sugar but also help others and refer others here.
The information presented is clear, concise, and easy to digest. Also, this information is extremely valuable in providing a blueprint to a healthier lifestyle.
