Reviews and Experiences
Nape
“I was diagnosed with diabetes in the late nineties. It has since been a long and an odious road struggling to cope with the condition. Sticking to a cronic medication regime and the demands of my job has been a challenge. This often resulted in defaults and having to do serious repairs as a result.When I was referred to you by my General Practitioner (GP) I was sceptical. But your knowledge of the disease and you experience in the management thereof has proven to be beneficial. I now have the benefit of a diet centred management of the disease which has resulted in an improvement in my overall health coupled with a controlled loss of weight. I am enjoying a better and healthy lifestyle. I thank you for your vast experience in the management of the disease.”
