Real People; Real Results!

I have had diabetes for many years, but I was feeling stuck – I was tired of the foods I was eating, using the same old recipes, and didn’t want to put forth the effort into making meal plans. I began to fall back into old habits of junky eating, slipping in a sweet here and there, and high carb meals “just this once” and pretty soon it was every day. The rut I was in was holding me back and I was starting to feel sluggish. Quite frankly, I was tired of having diabetes and always having to watch what I eat and not enjoy it! My A1C reached 8.1, and I knew something needed to change.

As I was looking for new recipes and meal ideas on the internet, I came across DMP and started reading testimonials and decided to join. I needed some serious guidance on food nutrition and found the educational pieces each week to be helpful and the encouraging news I needed. After joining DMP, I was able to get my A1C down from 8.1 to 6.4 in a matter of a few months and lost 15 pounds. My fasting blood sugars were ranging from 150-180 and now they are between 90-130.

The wealth of educational material has been a game-changer for me and the food is creative and delicious. I have many go-to recipes now that are easy to make and I enjoy trying new ones each week. Thank you, DMP team, for making my lifetime lifestyle change enjoyable and doable and giving me a renewed way of living with diabetes in a positive way!

~Carin

The DMP approach is educational and positive. I learned so much and a sense of possibility prevailed. I kept a food diary and did finger sticks to measure blood sugar before and after meals, and recognized the value of all that was recommended. I was consistent and determined, confident I would succeed. After 16 weeks of following the Prediabetes Program and its recommendations, my A1C went from 5.9 to 5.5. Thank you, Dr. Jedha for developing this lifesaving program. Diabetes is a public health problem, and you are in the forefront helping people to take responsibility to reverse this condition. I’ve recommended DMP to friends and to my MD, who was most pleased with my results. In fact, my MD regards my success on DMP as proof that prediabetes can be reversed, and lifestyle change is everything. With gratitude for your great educational program.

~Ann Marie

I started DMP in September 2023 by taking the T2Diet Program then becoming a VIP Member. The DMP membership has been so valuable in helping me improve my nutrition.

The quality of the scientific information and the basic teaching of DMPs monthly lessons are so valuable!

~Nancy

It started with a phone call from my doctor’s office saying those dreaded words: “Based on your A1C of 8.0 you have full blown diabetes. I’ll send in a prescription for Metformin.” I did not want to use pharmaceuticals to address what many publications call a ‘lifestyle disease.’ A quick review of available support groups online and I found DMP. Immediately I was impressed with the qualifications of the team and the easy to understand information. I joined the VIP group.

My first A1c reading was 8.0, four months later, I had reduced to 7.2. Another four months later, I was down to 6.8!! My weight has dropped from 197 pounds to 173 (I’m 5’4”). That’s 24 pounds (10.8kg). My blood pressure was 149/98 and at my latest check-up, I posted 112/79. Cholesterol was 233, now 212, but the big winner was triglycerides at 413 (!) now 154. Best of all I feel empowered! I took control of my life and with the support of the DMP experts. This is a lifestyle change that has affected many of my health metrics. I won’t go back to my ‘head in the sand’ life.

~Susan

I have to say thank goodness for DMP. When I found you my husband’s A1C was 8.5, a few months later, his A1C is 5.8. I have found your service to be a lifesaver, by the way. One thing that sticks in my mind is how very confusing everything is, as you are told so many different things. I found all your information to be direct and accurate and disregarded everything else I heard. We found the library more helpful than anything else. For instance, my husband had a big problem trying to get his morning number down. So, I read the simple answer and his numbers have been perfect in the morning! Amazing. Thank you again for helping me help my husband.

~Vicki

Wilma shares her experience of losing 52 pounds (~24kg), drastically lowering her blood sugar levels from 22s (396 mg/dl) down to 7s (140 mg/dl), and finding a positive way forward in life.

My HbA1c is now 5, down from 8.9 and I have lost 44lbs (20 kg) and still losing usually 2.2lbs (1kg) a month. My GP is very pleased with me. I am extremely happy with these results as I’ve tried and failed so many times to achieve these types of results. The program has taught me so much and the food and your approach to it has made all the difference. My eating habits have changed dramatically. This, to me is not just a diet and I’m sure it’s a permanent change and way of life for me in the future.

~Lyn

I “happened” onto the Diabetes Meal Plans site when I was browsing the internet for something that I could try, something that would make sense. Once I became a member, I immersed myself into the information. I learned that my present diet wasn’t working because I was trying to prevent diabetes, not treat the disease I already had! My weight dropped 6 pounds (2.7kg), and my A1C dropped to 5.8! This was an all-time low for me. Best of all, my doctor reduced my daily amounts of metformin and glipizide by half: The same tablets one time daily!

Fast forward 4 years: I continue to do well! At 70 years old, my HbA1C continues to be under control. My cholesterol continues to be controlled. I maintain lower medication.

~Sheryl D

Before I found the T2Diet Program I was struggling to control my levels and weight and was really confused with what to actually eat. The program helped me lose 4kg (8.8 lbs) and drop my A1c by 0.6%. I now have a clear diet plan that I stick to and since completing the program I’ve gone on to lose another 6kg (13.2 lbs). The recipes are that good that my whole family enjoy them as well.

My next goal is dropping Metformin medication, which could be possible soon according to my GP. After losing my Father to diabetes-related problems I’m very driven to reverse it, or to be able to manage my diabetes medication free. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to achieve this.

~Justin

I knew that in order to control my blood sugar, I was going to have to create my own meals more. And thankfully, that has happened with DMP! It’s got me motivated to cook and try new things.

My A1C was around 7.5. But, I wasn’t doing any work myself. Instead, I was letting the medication I was taking do the heavy lifting – Metformin and Glipizide. After looking after myself I have been able to get my A1C back down to 6.5, and have sustained this for a number of months now. My morning numbers have gone from the 160’s to the 120’s (8.9 to 6.7). And I have also managed to lose 30 pounds (13.6kg). So much valuable information. DMP is a lifesaver!

~Tony T

I have struggled a lot with the “supposed” healthy diet recommendations, and over the years I have been on every diet known to man. One day my doctor told me that I was prediabetic. My A1c was 6.1. All he told me was to “cut back on sugar” and take 1000 units of metformin once a day. Then he sent me home – that was it! I kept questioning: How do I actually eat??? That is when I found Diabetes Meal Plans (DMP).

After only one year, all of my numbers are way down. My A1c is within normal range – 5.6. Cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood pressure are all normal (they were on the high side before). And I lost weight (21 pounds/ 9.5 kg) – something I have been trying to do for years, and never could!

Fast forward another six months: Last week I went in for my yearly physical and my A1c was 5.5! The doctor had told me that if I could keep my A1c under 5.7 for a year he would take me off metformin. So… I’m off metformin and you could say that I’m not prediabetic anymore!

~Cheryl

Malena effortlessly loses weight & maintains it

The program helped Malena refocus on her goals. She lost 4 kg (8.8 lbs) effortlessly and is happy that she continues to maintain the weight loss. She reduced HbA1c by 0.7% and has maintained a level at 6% or under.

I started checking my blood glucose and it was running between 275 and 325 (15.3 and 18.1)! I knew then I was in trouble and could no longer pretend everything was okay. I don’t want to waste one more minute of my life being sick, tired and miserable. So I started looking online to research and stumbled upon the DMP website. And, I’m so glad I did!

Now my blood glucose ranges are between 96 (5.3) pre-meal and 145 (8.1) post meal! My weight has gone from 240 pounds (108kg) to 205.4 pounds (93.1kg) now!!! My advice is just DO IT!!! If I can, anyone can.

~Leisa

John lowered HbA1c by 3%

John came into the program to learn more about the impact of diet on his diabetes health. He followed the weekly nutrition modules and discovered the connection and was amazed at the results – he lowered HbA1c by 3%, lost 5-6 kg (11-13 pounds), and reduced medications, in just 16 weeks!

Jackie now understands her numbers

Jackie now manages her diabetes better because she understands the meaning of her numbers and how what she eats affects her diabetes health. She lowered her HbA1c from 8% down to 7% and hasn’t been down that low for years.

The weekly meal plans are fantastic with such a variety of recipes that are easy to follow. I also like the cooking class videos, especially as a novice cook. The diabetes and nutrition information has been extremely helpful. I have tried many new things which I was surprised that I liked, including being successful at cooking and baking.

My fasting BG (mg/dL) went down from 142 to 114 (-28), and my after-meal BG dropped from 216 to 138 (-78) – in 21 days! (That’s equivalent to 7.9 to 6.3 mmol/l for fasting glucose, and 12.0 to 7.7 mmol/l for after meal glucose). My daily average BG improved from 193 to 142 (-51) – (equivalent to 10.7 to 7.9 mmol/l).

~Doug

Helen finally achieves successful weight loss

Helen struggled for a long time with achieving weight loss and wasn’t getting any support from other sources. The program provided the education, support and encouragement to help her engage and rethink the importance of her own health. She’s now lost 26 kg (57.3 pounds)!

I was diagnosed at age 40 with type 2. Today I am 68 years old. I spent some time reviewing my numbers and I had morning readings as high as 199 (11.1) and my average was in the 160s (8.9). After taking the 21 Day challenge I saw more in the 120-140 range (7.2-7.8). I got my A1c down from 6.7 to 6.4 and lost about 6 pounds (2.7 kg) in the 21 days. I have become a DMP member and am looking forward to more meal ideas. I am happy to share that my husband (who is famous for not trying anything new especially if vegetables are involved) enjoyed the Southwestern Pork Chili.

~Margaret

I am a 73 year old retired teacher. I have had diabetes now for six years. I have struggled with numbers with regard to A1c since first diagnosed. I have been on metformin for the last four years. I have tried a variety of food choices and diets to combat the problem. All the while, my numbers continued to creep up and I have been labeled “uncontrolled diabetic.”

My physician wanted to increase my medications to help lower my A1c. When I got an email offer regarding DMPs diet program, I thought why not give it a try. My blood sugar ran around 260 to 280 (14.4 to 15.6) — now it averages around 160 (8.9). My A1c has gone from 8.3 to 7.2 in just three months – down 1.1%! Weight has gone from 178 to 169 (80.7 – 76.6 kg). All other numbers are good. Best of all, I have more energy and I look forward to doing things. I highly recommend DMP as a good step to getting a handle on diabetes.

~James

“I joined DMP as a member after my diabetes type 2 diagnosis. I thought I was eating “healthy” and I couldn’t understand why my A1c would be so high at 8.4. After joining, my A1c went from 8.4 to 6.1 in three months. I switched other foods and my A1c went down to 5.7. I lost 35 pounds (16kg) and my cholesterol levels dropped. My digestive issues and GERD completely went away. The endocrinologist I had was stunned when my A1c dropped to 5.7 three months after the first decrease. From 8.4 to 5.7! I trusted DMP experts without hesitation because DMP explained everything in a way I understood and my labs were so good.”

~Kerry

“My results: 36-pound (16.3kg) weight loss and A1c lowered from 10.6 to 6.2! The thing I love the most is the library. If I have a question, it is easy to look up the answer. I love getting new menus each week too.”

~Karen

“You helped me understand diabetes and how to manage it. I got my A1c from 8.4 to 5.7 thru using your resources. Thank you for being an excellent resource and helping me get such great results.”

~Kerry

“I think this service is GREAT! It kept me accountable and I learned a great deal. The most important thing it has done is help change my relationship to the issue of T2D. I am glad I found you when I did!”

~Anne

“I have gained an enormous amount of knowledge on how to handle diabetes. My husband is the one with diabetes and I am the one who cooks for him. This website has been a great help to us as his A1C is lowering. I do also enjoy the recipes you offer and always read the library articles. Thanks again for all your help you have given us. You are the best site I have ever seen on diabetic care.”

~Vicki

“I reduced my A1C from 5.9 to 5.3 with diet, using knowledge from your website and being a member. Thank you, I may join again in the future, but for now I understand exactly what to do.”

~Norma

“I’m no longer diabetic. I’m back in pre diabetic status! I’ve lost 12-13 pounds (depending on the day). I’m staying on this plan for further weight loss and hopefully maintaining afterwards. The library has been most helpful when I was first diagnosed with diabetes. Out of everything I could find on the subject, your app was the most helpful. I also love the variety of the meals. Thank you for providing this for our future.”

~Lynn

“My 42-year old autistic son was diagnosed 6 months ago with Type 2. His glucose was 588 (32.7), but after signing up for DMP, and using your wonderful recipes and suggestions, he has lost 15 pounds (6.8kg) and most recent A1c was 5.2!

Keep up the great work you are doing! Thanks so very much !!!

~Linda M

“Thank you to Dr. Jedha for your guidance & for all the wealth of knowledge & recipes you offer here at DMP. This has been a positive change for me. I’ve lost weight & exercise more. I’m so thankful that I found this site.”

~Kimberly

“I have been following your approach to blood sugar management since 2018 when I was diagnosed. My blood sugar is about 6.7 and has been stable. I was amazed at how much misinformation is out there and I know your recommendations are reliable. It helps so much to have confidence in information so important to my health. I am 72 and have lost about 40 pounds and overall am more healthy. I have and will recommend it to anyone wanting to improve their health, even at prediabetic stages. The recipes are enjoyed by both me and my husband. Thanks so much for the tremendous help you have been to me!”

~Cheryl W

I learned I don’t have to live in fear of diabetes, but can take my power back and be proactive about it. I’m feeling very upbeat and positive about my eating habits being modified and changed without feeling deprived or like a victim.

~Sandra

Your resources provided the tools I needed to bring my blood glucose level down, until my A1c test results were within normal range. Thank you for all you do!

~Pat

I’ve been following your meal/snack advice for about three months now. I’m a 77 year old male, and went from an A1c reading of 7.9 to 6.0; also lost 22 pounds (9.9kg).

~Paul

I am so grateful I took part in the program, for me it was truly life changing. Not only was I able to bring my blood sugar levels down from 6.6% to 5.6% whilst following your carb management plan, my readings have stayed down no matter what I eat. I also have the tools and knowledge about how to make sure I don’t push the envelope too far. So thank you so much for your program. I have recommended your guidelines to many people as they’ve helped me so much.

~Geoff

“I’m loving everything about this program. Thanks.”

~Lorraine R

“When I started DMP, I was 310 lbs (140kg) and my A1C was 10. I had a very unhealthy lifestyle. Since then, I have lost weight, I am at 190 lbs (86kg) now and my A1C is between 6.5 to 7.0 and no longer have to take medicine. Thank you for what you do!”

~Dusty

“I love the wealth of information you provide. Your library is so, so useful !! It has helped me tremendously to understand my diabetes, what I can eat , how to cope with unexpected situations and make the best healthy choice. I also enjoy the inspiration of the weekly meal plans, what to eat each week. And the recipes are usually very good and easy to prepare.”

~Huguette

“The weekly meal plans are easy to make, few ingredients, and very good food. The thing I love most about the members site is the education articles! It is great information & easy to understand!”

~Carin

“I really like the information bits you share. The variety of the weekly meal plans is great and the ingredients are easy to get, most I already have.”

~Jacquie

“I’m so excited! Received my 3-month A1C result this morning….5.6! I’m out of the diabetes range! Previously it was 6.3. This motivates me to keep going with what I’m doing and stay out of the diabetes range. I can’t thank Diabetes Meals Plan enough….this is such a big deal to me!”

~Jeanette

“My new A1C test was 5.6…before it was a 5.8 and I’ve lost 30 pounds (13.6kg) and they are still coming off. Hooray…5.6 is out of prediabetes… what a relief…and it’s only been a couple of weeks of hard work!! I have more energy and am not as tired as before. I love the easy photos and videos on recipes. I’m a visual learner so photos and videos step by step help a lot. It has been very helpful to me! Even printing out these recipes is so easy and I love the quick helpful responses to my email questions. I will continue to keep this lifestyle as I have seen drastic changes to my health altogether. Thank you.”

~Karolyn

“I wanted to see my A1c under 5.7 but my doctor told me that because of the medications I have to take, not to expect that to happen. I got great news today. My A1C is 5.8!! I am so grateful for DMP!”.

~Val

“Great variety of foods. Informative articles about research are very helpful. I think you are all providing a valuable service and helping all of us understand the importance of managing carbs.”

~Linda

“Some great results. Had 3-month A1c check up since May was my last @ 6.3. Beginning of August A1c is @ 5.6 and down 25 lbs. Goal is to drop down into low 5’s for A1c and to drop another 25 lbs (11.4kg).”

~Ben

“Your website has been a game changer for me. I am insulin resistant but still prediabetic and I love your website because it keeps me on track with my meals. I participated in the 21 day challenge and it was a good experience and also motivating even though I was on a trip during part of it. I will definitely continue and I have recommended your site to my medical provider. I think it’s the best thing out there for diabetes.”

~Lori T

“I am loving the quality and amount of information in one place, and the recipes. Having been recently diagnosed with Type 2, I was feeling overwhelmed with all the information. There was much that was conflicting and confusing. This site has been the best for logic, education and consistency. Especially as I endeavour to control and hopefully reverse my diagnosis through diet and lifestyle.”

~Sandra D

“Metformin alone didn’t control my sugars. My endo started me on nightly Lantus and even though I watched what I ate and walked religiously, I could not get my A1C down. Then came the Novolog twice a day. And counting the carbs my nutritionist suggested did not help me one bit.” Well, I wanted to share my great results having been on this plan for only one month. 3 months ago my A1C was 8.7 and my recent blood work showed it at 7.4. My endocrinologist was very impressed and thinks I will be at the target level by my next testing in 3 months. The recipes are easy, quick and good but it does take some getting used to when we’re used to eating too many carbs. However, just eating your meal plan for a month and seeing the results gives me motivation to continue. I have decided to stick with it and get myself to a good A1C. Thank you for your dedication to diabetes research and food plans.”

~Gloria G

“The excellent information provided throughout the website and Saturday emails is easy to understand and more helpful than the typical diabetes information provided by Drs and insurance companies. I lost about 70 pounds before DMP but have continued to lose another 50 pounds and improved my blood sugar and A1C. Website has been very helpful in making a distinction between trying to control blood sugar and trying to more effectively try to reverse diabetes.”

~Tony V

“This way of eating works. Sugar numbers are down and Dr. has taken me off one of my medicines for 3 months to see how I will do.”

~Retha T

“I’m now more conscious of my diabetes. I love that the meal plans are easy and the service is very helpful to make menus as simple as possible.”

~Diane

“Great variety of foods. Informative articles about research are very helpful. I think you are all providing a valuable service and helping all of us understand the importance of managing carbs.”

~Linda

“Very User-friendly. Love your site and recommended it friends. My blood sugar was a whopping 396 (22.0). My doctor put me on Metformin 750mlg. I weighed 269 lbs (122kg) and was 72 years old. To date I have lost 35 pounds (15.8kg) and my blood sugar average 94 (5.2) 2-hours after evening meal and 103 (5.7) in the morning. I have been following your suggested menus. I live in Jomtien Beach Thailand.”

~Alan S

“I love the variety and wealth of good information.”

~Bob S

“I love that everything is all figured out for me and it is easy to follow.”

~Penny

“Overall, this is the best eating plan I’ve seen for diabetic eating. To me the plan makes sense.”

~Becky

I have been trying on my own to lower my A1C for years without medication. My morning numbers were always the worst. With following this plan my readings have been amazing and stay constant all day long. My morning numbers shock me every day….I am so pleased! Plus I have lost 25 pounds in the short 7 weeks that I have been on the program. I feel so much better and look forward to continuing on and finally reaching my goal weight.

~Will

“The weekly plans are very helpful for keeping in track for eating right for my diabetes. I have been using your site for many years before becoming a paid member. I thank you for so much information that has help me a lot.”

~Sharon L

“I finally went all-in with the new meal plans, and they have been great so far. I am very pleased (and so is my wife).”

~Doug W

“I’ve been following your plans for about a month now. My bs range was 150 to 185 (8.3 to 10.3) for am fasting. Now it’s ranging from 105 to 140 (5.8 to 7.8).”

~Sharlene

“I love the library, it’s full of helpful and valuable information. I love a lot of the recipes and the cooking class videos are great too. My blood sugar has stabilized quite a bit. I am classified prediabetic so I don’t test too often, but my morning tests have gone from being 7 to being pretty consistently between 5 and 6. I love the site overall really. The advice is simple to understand and follow, it makes sense, and it works. I have recommended this site to several friends and family members and will continue to do so.”

~Susan L

“When I was diagnosed as prediabetic, I went to the internet to learn what changes needed to be made to my diet. The information was all over the place. Much of it was conflicting. When I found DMP, I was impressed with the site and how clear and concise the information was. The meal planner and the recommended 7 day plan ahead diet was a great starting point. I’m off and running and I appreciate your hard work in building such a comprehensive members site.”

~Mike C

“I like the educational aspect and up to date research on the treatment of prediabetes and diabetes. The 21 day challenge was so good for me. It got me working on my prediabetic diagnosis. I had given up trying. I lost 3 pounds (1.3kg) in the first three weeks of the 21 day challenge. No more toast and honey for breakfast! My bs is still too high so there is still work to be done. I want to thank you for all the hard work you put into this project. You have helped me a lot!”

~Marlene H

“I enjoy the fact that the weekly meal plans come with the grocery list and make ahead plans. My husband and I have both lost about 15 pounds (6.8kg) since starting with DMP. We are excited about that. By the end of the month, he will find out if this has helped his A1c.”

~Linda M

“I love the way the plans are presented, with images and ability to preview the recipes to make sure it is one that I would cook. Navigating the site is so very easy…the tabs are exactly the ones I love to explore! I am very glad to be a member.”

~Natalie

“I love the cooking ideas and variety of the meal plans and all the educations information. Most diabetic cookbooks and websites allow too much rice, potatoes, pasta, bread and even sugar(!) in their recipes. DMP has realistic carb info and delicious food recipes too.”

~Adele

“It is so good to have help as I begin to make these dietary changes, especially after having wandered along without the nutritional guidance I need. So much out there it is difficult not to become overwhelmed. Meal planning and shopping has become so much easier. Thank you!”

~Judy S

So user friendly. Everything’s about helping people with all types of Diabetes. So much information that is readily available and easy to understand. Your sincerity in helping people with all types of Diabetes comes through. You seemed to have thought of everything from the recipes and shopping lists to the menu planner, all the latest research and then, to top it all off, you deliver a ton of bread recipes!! Love reading the testimonials too… I found them very encouraging.”

~Caroline K

“The ease of your yummy recipes and that they can be adjusted for number of servings is what I enjoy. Also, that you provide tons of helpful information. I have contacted customer service and have been pleased with the quick response and the simplicity of the answers (rarely the case with other corporate customer service departments).”

~Dale

“I love every recipe I have tried so far. Especially appreciate the 5 ingredient ones. I have found it sooo helpful to prep all my veggies on one day and either freeze them or just refrigerate them. Makes cooking much faster! I have been eating low carb for a month and exercising every day and I do feel better and am thrilled my numbers are better, too.”

~Gini D

“My health has improved dramatically. I now am taking fewer medications and maintaining an A1C of 5.8! Eating low carbs has become habit, and requires much less struggle. Every time I look for specific information, I am pleased and informed to find it. Keep up what you do! You have earned my trust! My doc is much more impressed now than he was when I began this diet change.”

~Sheryl

“The meal plans are basic and delicious, easy to follow. Great information. Easy options. I am over the moon with what l have learnt. l have finally started losing weight, my sugars have dropped just this week! Finally after following your messages for a while it is all falling into place. Keep doing what you do. From what l have been reading a lot of people are receiving such a lot from you.”

~Mary G

“Your program, site, everything is great. I’m Mexicano, I live in Cancun and is very difficult to find the amount and quality of information you provide.”

~Carlos P

“DMP are very responsive with helpful ideas. They stick with you all the time. Encouraging and motivating. Their recipes are very good and you can get results.”

~Nancy H

“The information, the recipes, the support – I don’t feel so hopeless. I love the fact that it all reminds me that I can still eat! I just love how much clear, understandable information is available. I appreciate the very quick responses I have received from my emails. Excellent resource! Thank you so much!!”

~Elizabeth B, VIP member

“I love all the choices. And the amount time you spend on posting articles of value to us and how well the articles explain what is being said without leaving us with questions about sources or verification’s. Also the cooking class video’s are very helpful. Just keep up what you are doing.”

~Gregg B, VIP member

“Your site is wonderful. You make everything clear and understandable about all information. Your meal planning is helpful. I have Type 2 diabetes and CKD. Your information helps me with the diabetes and I just don’t eat the AVOID foods for the CKD.”

~Sharon L, VIP member

“I love the versatility of the members site. Delicious recipes that are easy to understand and prepare. I’m able to add, delete and personalize my meal plan so that it fits my schedule and taste. My husband is a picky eater, but he’s enjoying the dishes too!”

“I do not have to think about what to prepare for my meals the recipes at hand make it so easy for me and my sister who loves the recipes. We are in and out of the kitchen so fast. We have cut down on restaurant expenditures tremendously. My health has improved a great deal too. I used to have difficulties walking in the mornings due to joints inflammation. I have lost 20 pounds and I am inflammation and pain free in the mornings. My blood sugars have come down to 105 in the mornings and A1c has come down from 6.5 to 5. I have recommended the site to many friends and colleagues. They are amazed at the fact that I have lost the weight without complaining about being hungry and tired of dieting. These meals have become my new way of life.”

“It is important to me to control my diabetes with diet alone but I was failing miserably. I had been seeing Diabetes Meal Plans on Pinterest but I hesitated to join. Two things changed my mind. First, the week before I joined my blood sugar had been reaching tremendous highs and, quite frankly, it scared me. Second, I saw The massaman curry soup and it looked so good. I joined and in five weeks my A1c went from 6.5 to 6.1. The meals are delicious. That soup has become my absolute favorite. The recipes are easy to follow , there’s terrific variety and I love the slow cooker recipes. I am really glad I joined.”

~Amy W

“I was diagnosed in mid-August, my A1c was 6.7. I had it done again last week (mid Nov) and it was 5.6!! I have lost 32 lbs (14.5kg) and over 20 of those lbs (9kg) has been since I was diagnosed. I am eating much healthier and exercise 6 days a week. I think how you have the program set up is great. If all the information were thrown at me at once, I would probably be overwhelmed and never complete it all. Taking it a little at a time made a huge difference! My life has changed forever, but instead of being overwhelmed and depressed, I now have a sense of purpose and a challenge to get as healthy as possible. Thank you!”

~Ester R

“This is the best program! So many well written materials – clear and easy to understand. I am thrilled to have found this. I will be joining as a VIP member.”

~Elizabeth B

“There were so many things that I learned that were important for my health and wellbeing however being aware that my blood sugar monitoring was necessary for me so that I could understand what foods were triggering the highs. When I started I went from 15 to 4.5 (270 to 81). It has fluctuated daily but averages about 6 (108) which I am happy with but realising there is still the need to understand what carbs are affecting my sugars. I now have lower blood sugars, I look more carefully at what I am buying and eating. I have definitely lost weight although I haven’t weighed myself for a month. As my husband says, the clothes let you know you have lost and yes they fit and look better. Love the recipes, have tried some and shared them with family and friends. I think this is very well done. Thank you so much for this whole month.”

More than ever I now know watching “carbs” has its benefits.

You certainly have done a great deal of work in putting together a wonderful complete plan for A1C control. I honestly appreciate it very much.”

21 Day Lower Blood Sugar Challenge Testimonials

Here’s some results from our participants’ progress reports after 21 days plus their words of praise.

“The most important acheivement was the percentage of time I was in range now as compared to prior. Prior I would be in range approximately 55-60% of the time, now I”m in a range approximately 76-85% of the time.”

~Larry

“Lowered blood sugar from 141 to 150 (7.9 to 8.3) to under 140 after meals. I actually enjoyed doing this challenge. I learned about different foods that I don’t usually eat. I’m going to change things in my life.”

~David

“I lowered after-meal numbers to normal range and fasting levels did get lower. I enjoy the recipes and never imagined eating vegetables for breakfast!!”

~Audrey V

“A sincere and heart-felt “THANK YOU” to the DMP team for the support and information and the delicious recipes your program provides. I’ve been on the diabetic treadmill for several years with lots of ups and downs. I wish I had come across DMP much earlier in my journey. Your information is excellent, well presented, easy to understand and easy to implement. Your recipes are delicious, cover a wide range of tastes and stimulate my imagination to branch out and try my own recipes to stay within the diabetic guidelines and still provide healthy and tasty daily variety. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I am convinced that the secret to living a full, happy and “normal” life as a diabetic comes through education, understanding, and then diligent implementation of a healthy diet coupled with exercise. This 3 week “refresher” course has helped me get back on track and remind myself how easy it is to “slip” into bad habits, but more importantly, how easy it is to stay on track by focusing and being deliberate about daily good nutrition and health. It highlights the fact that one does not have to forlornly “live with” diabetes … one can have a very normal, healthy, active life in spite of body metabolism challenges. AGAIN … THANK YOU!.”

~Mark

“It was great being part of the challenge and it helped me on regulating my blood sugar down to the healthy range. Following the new pyramid too will improve on my health without forgetting the different recipes.”

~Maxine

“Before the challenge my postprandial bs average 181 to 200 (10.1 to 11.1). After the challenge it reduced to normal range of 121 to 140 (6.8 to 7.8). Thanks for the information, it has proved very helpful.”

~Harriet

“After-meal and fasting levels after the challenge within the normal healthy range. Loved this challenge!”

~Danette A

“While my numbers didn’t change much during the last 21 days, I became more aware of how foods effect my sugar. I have a very low tolerance for carbs like bread, pasta, etc. As I look back over my numbers I realize the 2 hours after are all over the place. Thankfully I have tried several of your recipes. I have enjoyed them and I noticed that after eating them my numbers are far lower. Thank you for all your wonderful information. Honestly I get a little overwhelmed with it all sometimes, but then I set it aside and come back to it later. In the 5 plus years since my diagnosis, yours is the most information I’ve ever received. I had about 30 minutes with a diabetes specialist who gave me a meter, suggested I eat x amounts of carbs and sent me on my way. I was left to try to figure out what exactly that meant and until I found DMP I still wasn’t sure. I will continue reading your articles, trying your recipes and getting a better handle on my diabetes. Thank you for all you do!!!”

~Terri

“Once I do everything the DMP team suggest I will be closer to normal blood sugar readings. I have a lot of work to do. The challenge helped me prepare. I am ready.”

~Tanya

“In the 21 days I lost weight and lowered my after-meal and morning blood sugar. Thank you for all the info and encouragement during this time. I am determent to get my sugar levels as normal as can be and follow your advise.”

~Trudie

“I had good control of my glucose before the challenge. However, the challenge improved my consistent low numbers for fasting and post meal. I also gained new information on recipes, sugar types, etc.”

~Pat O

“I found the information that was put out very helpful. The information on hidden sugars, low carb food, combinations for meal prep, the YouTube videos, and the natural supplements to help reduce insulin resistance in my body. I also appreciate the up to date specifics as opposed to the outdated generic information that prescription pushing Endocrinologist use to mask symptoms and keep you out of control. I am in control now, thank you for that!!”

~Bill

“I enjoyed all the information you provided, especially the recipes. I also enjoyed reading about other people’s comments and their journey. I still need to lower my after meal readings and will continue to work on that. I know avoiding added sugar is a big part of that, which seems hard for me, but I will take it one day at a time. Thanks for all you did to put together this 21-day challenge.”

~Pat

“This was just what I needed to open my eyes to what my numbers really are after meals. I had gotten to a point where I just ate and didn’t test very often. I thought I was in good control, but I now that I wasn’t. I looked back on my previous A1c’s and my lowest was 5.8. I just did blood work yesterday and the results came down from a 6.8 to a 6.3. I meet with my doctor next week and I plan to take my charts with all my numbers during the 21 day challenge. I’ve tried several recipes and they were all good. It’s been interesting to read everyone’s posts and I hope they continue with what they’ve learned even though this challenge is over. I know I plan to! Thanks for your feed back to questions and encouraging words along the way. It was much appreciated. Blessings to all of you!”

~Lorraine

I started running (have worked up to two miles a day) but it wasn’t enough. Thanks to the information on your website, I am down to a healthy 110 lbs (49.8kg) and feeling much better without any meds. Thank you for showing me that way and for giving my three young children back their active, healthy, and happy mama!”

~Earlene P

“Thank you for all that your doing. I have done so much research. You’re the first team that I’ve met that really seems to understand and explain things in a down to earth way. I am 50 years old and have had diabetes for many years. No dietician has given me normal food ideas or even tried to adjust to my lifestyle. You’re the first. My a1c is very good because I really do eat well. I have not been able to lose weight though. 20 pounds (9.0kg) to lose. No one knows what to do with me. I’m physically active, etc. I thought maybe it was my med or insulin. You’re the first to mention lantus. I could give you a hug for that. Thanks for what you’re doing and i’ll be spreading the news about your blogs.”
