Diabetes Testimony

I was found to have diabetes type 2 last April. After doing some personal research, checking with Mary Jane Lutz, my NSP Rep and a nutritionist, I embarked on an aggressive new diet -totally eliminating all forms of sugar and no sugar substitutes, no white flower and no milk products, mostly salads and fresh vegetables, various beans, little meat, whole grain cereals, Ezekiel Bread, almond butter and cashews and lots of water. My diet previously had been junk food, sweets/pastries/cake/ice cream, loads of pasta, lots of red meat, coffee - almost no fresh vegetables or salad - most of the wrong things.

A few weeks into the process I added Chromium GTF - it made a significant difference in the numbers, evened the swings out - lessening the morning and mid-afternoon drops and the peaks after meals. I noticed that it took one tablet about every 4-5 hours to really stabilize my system.

During the process, although I was not overly heavy, I lost 20 pounds in approximately 2 1/2 months.

I ran out of my supply of Chromium GTF about 6 months into the process and decided I had to have my Chromium and couldn't wait to get some from Mary Jane, so I picked up what the GNC clerk said was their best product - GNC Chromium Picolinate 500. I expected the same result but was very disappointed. There was a day and night difference between the two products. Within a couple of days I was on the phone to Mary Jane and told her what had happened and that I needed several bottles of NSP's product right away!

Since then, I have converted to the Sugar Reg and have found it to be far superior to Chromium. I still take 4-5 per day and I rarely encounter any problem, even under stress. When I wake up every morning my numbers are always between 94 and 112. I don't want to be without it. -Joseph Bilott
