Program Testimonials

pete

Pete is a southern California Cahuilla who followed the program. “When my daughter Loni told me she wanted me to live long enough to see her kids when she had some, and my other daughter said she hoped I would be able to walk her down the aisle, I had to stop and look at what I was doing. I was stubborn, and tried a couple of times but by the 3rd try I stuck to it and I saw results. My A1c went from 10.9 while on insulin, down to 5.5 with no insulin or glucose medication. And so far I’ve lost 58 pounds.”

“It may sound corny but it was the love of my wife and family that I leaned on to get me through it all. When my wife said “Ok, you don’t want to take care of yourself, when you’re gone I’ll be living happily ever after with someone else” I got my head turned around.”

This was a family effort that got his glucose under control without insulin or medication, by cooking together and working together.

When I think of all the issues people have that block them from following the program, I have to smile every time I think of this man. He heard me explain the program once, it was perfectly logical to him; he started immediately and within 2 weeks was controlling his sugar without medication. He lost 21 pounds; his sugar went from out of control to an average of 112 after meals and fasting combined. “The Healthy Plate Program works. I can understand how it would be hard for some people, but what’s your choices, pills or the program? This morning my fasting was 99” Ray from Mesa Grande Reservation.

“This program is very helpful, especially for diabetics. What she teaches is to show us how to prolong our lives. Diabetes can be a slow killer but we can prevent things by what she’s teaching us. She has helped me to control my sugar and we appreciate the knowledge she shares with us.”
- Larry Garcia, Laguna Pueblo

Julie has such a great spirit. She was told that she died. I saw her hospital records and her blood sugar was a whopping 1800+. It steadily came down and now lives with only an occasional dose of glucose medication because of her stress in caring for a loved one. An amazing story and amazing results. Her strong faith in God brought her through it all.

“This program made me feel realistic about my diabetes and helped with my denial. It’s for life. I never would have stopped caffeine, which was all day for me. I didn’t think I could give up my diet coke, but I did and I’m not on medication any more. My stomach couldn’t handle the medication. Random blood sugar 1 ½ hours after lunch today was 97 drawn at the lab.”

“Marcia gave me the motivation to do it. I wanted to grow old without the diabetes problems. My sugars are normal and my fasting is usually 89-90 and I never had to take medication.” Just recently a new doctor at her clinic put her on metformin ev en though her sugars were normal.

This program really opened my eyes about my condition. I was blind to everything. I can now help myself and I know I’m gona be ok with it. I’m not scared because I know I can deal with this. My fasting blood sugars are 100-104 and I am now off medication with this program. My highest was 124 when I was really stressed. Daytime sugars are around 120. I even check myself during the night to see and at 2:23 a.m. I was 117.
