Cathy's Story

“I have been an insulin dependant diabetic (Type 1 Diabetes) for 20 years and generally followed a carbohydrate exchange diet. In the last few years I have had a HBA1C (3 month blood sugar reading) above the acceptable range. I have also had problems such as regular sugar overflow in my urine and slowly increasing weight gain despite being a ‘healthy’ eater.

Although sceptical at first and challenging to my knowledge, since being introduced to the Insulin Zone and Keto Diet Systems (12 months ago) I have enjoyed the benefits of normal HBA1C readings, no sugar in my urine, weight loss (approximately 5kg) and most importantly significantly reduced insulin (medication) requirements. 

I have realised the health benefits of eating protein at every meal and snacks regularly to help stabilise my daily blood sugar levels, thus preventing hypos (low blood sugar) and hunger attacks has had a huge impact on my diabetes management. By eating protein regularly the risk of a hypo is prevented, hence preventing the cycle of eating more and gaining weight, not to mention brain and body damage!

Thanks Nu-Leaf for my new understanding of how food affects the body and overall health. Following the Insulin Zone diet means I can stay on 2 injections a day compared to the recommended 4!”
