San Diego architect, David Dobson, 38, was rushed to the hospital during the Christmas holidays 2001. His blood sugar was dangerously high at 1300! His doctor immediately diagnosed Type 2 diabetes and prescribed insulin injections.

Eleven months later David was still taking 170 units of insulin daily. Even with the insulin, his fasting blood sugar was 300 in the morning and over 500 at night. David enrolled in the three-day Reversing Diabetes and Obesity seminar presented by physicians of the NEWSTART® Lifestyle Center at Weimar Institute.

Within two weeks his blood sugar dropped safely into the normal range and he was able to discontinue taking insulin. He says in the same length of time he lost 20 lb. After 90 days he lost 52 lb. and he remains off of insulin with normal blood sugar. His doctor is delighted and has encouraged him to keep it up.
