She’d Tried It All
When Kinjal found the Mastering Diabetes Method, she was hitting her limit with managing the challenges of her type 2 diabetes. Her daily life was clouded with sluggish low energy, brain fog, stomach cramps, and body pains. She felt like she had tried it all: Exercise, high-protein and low-carb diets, paleo diet, and more. Yet despite having a healthy lifestyle and taking 2000mg Metformin per day, she was still struggling.
Skeptical But Willing to Try
During her first coaching call with Mastering Diabetes, Kinjal was skeptical. She was willing to try though, and stayed open to what her coach was teaching her. The changes weren’t easy to make at first, but she stayed committed to the process as she found her footing.
The Results Came Quickly
After the first week, she was already feeling better. She was getting the positive feedback that she needed to keep going, and that helped her to stay on track.
After 2 weeks, her acid reflux was completely gone and she stopped taking her medication. As time went on, she experienced more and more benefits, beyond what she had expected or hoped would happen.
She was losing weight consistently, about 2 pounds per week. This was happening without her trying. She was eating lots of food, wasn’t restricting herself or feeling hungry, and had tons of energy – while losing weight! Once she reached a healthy weight, she maintained it with ease.
At the same time, her energy increased dramatically – so much so that she started running. She ended up running multiple 5k and 10k races. She has no pain when she runs, and finishes in the top 20 when she races. Kinjal says that she is more fit now than she was before her diabetes diagnosis.
In addition, her brain fog lifted and her mind is clear, and she feels less stress than she has in years. On the precipice of turning 40 years old, Kinjal feels like she is in her 20s again.
Her diabetes numbers improved over time as well. Before working with her Mastering Diabetes coach, Kinjal’s A1c was 5.7. Over the first few months, her fasting blood sugar was higher in the morning, despite it being lower and more steady throughout the day. Her coach recommended that she get a c-peptide test to see whether her body was still making insulin. Her results (1.57) showed that she had a low production of insulin. Because of this, her A1c went up at first. But 6 months later, it had gone down to 5.3 and has stayed there since then. She was also able to cut her metformin dosage in half!
Header | Before | After (6 Months) |
|---|---|---|
A1c (%) | 5.7. Up to 5.9 after the first three months | 5.3 |
C-Peptide (ng/mL) | 1.57 | 1.57 |
Weight (lbs) | 117 | 107 |
Metformin | 2000 mg/day | 1000 mg/day |
Energy Levels | Low | Very high |
How Did She Do It?
What is Kinjal doing to get these results? Here’s a typical day of eating for her these days:
To anyone considering the Mastering Diabetes Method but feeling skeptical, Kinjal would tell you to just try it! She says that you’ll lose weight, you’ll feel great, you’ll get to eat tons of food and you won’t be hungry – and best of all, you’ll see and feel the changes very quickly. No matter what type of diabetes you have, she recommends this method for anyone and everyone. It gives you results that medicine cannot.
Kinjal is a toddler mom and school teacher, and despite her long and demanding days, she has tons of energy every day. She hasn’t felt this good in decades – and wants you to get to feel this good too.
SPOTLIGHT ON: C-Peptide
Have you ever heard of a c-peptide test? Most people have not – but for particular cases of diabetes, it can be a game-changing piece of data to guide you in supporting your body’s most optimal functioning.
What Is It?
A c-peptide test indicates the amount of insulin that your pancreas is producing. C-peptide is part of the proinsulin molecule that eventually becomes insulin, so there are equal amounts of c-peptide and insulin produced by your beta cells. This information can help you determine what type of diabetes you are living with, what your best case scenario is for improving your diabetes, and how to support your body in achieving that.
Should You Get A C-Peptide Test?
A c-peptide test is most beneficial for someone who has been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, but there is reason to believe they might have an autoimmune form of diabetes rather than the condition being solely lifestyle-related.
When might this be the case? If you have been exercising regularly and eating primarily foods from the green light list yet your blood sugar is still unstable and your A1c is still high, or if you have a type 2 diagnosis despite being at a healthy weight, these are indicators that your pancreas might not be capable of producing sufficient amounts of insulin.
A Growing Problem of Misdiagnoses
Unfortunately, it is becoming more common to receive a misdiagnosis of type 2 diabetes. There are a growing number of cases of latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA), which is a slow-progressing form of type 1 diabetes in which your pancreas produces less and less insulin over time. This means that your pancreas is still capable of producing insulin, but not enough to meet your body’s needs. Over time the condition progresses to create more and more compromised beta cells, meaning you produce less and less insulin.
Because the place a person currently occupies in this progression can vary widely, it is not accurate to give a blanket diagnosis or treatment plan. Instead, you must assess where you are in this progression – which is based on your c-peptide score – and then adjust treatment protocols accordingly.
