Venki's Story

I came across Dr.Fuhrman's book The End of Diabetes and read it cover to cover in a few days. I had been a diabetic since 2007 and was on the minimal dose of Metformin 500 mg once a day. Although I had controlled my diabetes reasonably well, I was alarmed to see my HBA1C measurement rise to 7.3. My weight had also gone up and my average blood pressure had crept up to 138/90. I attributed this to my unhealthy lifestyle mostly caused by my work (constant interstate travel, stress, long working hours, lack of sleep, etc.).

In April of 2013, I decided to do something about my health and wellbeing. I changed jobs, started to exercise and following the Nutritarian program after reading The End of Diabetes. In two months I lost 22 pounds, my average blood pressure dropped to 120/80 and my resting heart rate dropped below 60. My HBA1C measure reduced dramatically to 6.2, so much so that my doctor stopped the medication (Metformin).

My family and friends are amazed at the quality of improvement in my health, both mental and physical. I have often reflected on my experience and have wondered why it took me so long to act on my health, and why millions, if not billions of people, don't care about it. I have concluded that the motivation to acquire knowledge and put it into practice until it becomes a good habit can only come from within us. Thank you Dr. Fuhrman for the knowledge and insight, and thanks for the wonderful world of G-BOMBS. I can't see myself living any other way. I see myself living to100 and dying at home without being a burden to my family or the health system.
