I am a RN who comes from an obese family. Loving family, smart family. Obese family. Two years ago my sister sent me the Dr. Hallberg’s TED talk on type 2 diabetes.
That started our journey. As a family, we are down almost 800 lbs (363 kg). I am down 70 lbs (32 kg). My 83 and 84-year-old parents down total 80 lbs (36). My daughter with type 1 diabetes 40 lbs (18 kg) and her basal rate way down on her pump (plus she successfully delivered her first child three months ago).
My life has been radically transformed to the point where I started a Facebook page. I am surprised to say it has grown beyond my expectations (Ask Nurse Cindy) to 43K followers. And I still have a full-time career at a large wound-care company.
I refer SO many of my followers to dietdoctor.com. I talk about you ALL the time.
Smiles,

Cindy Miller: I used to wake up four to five days a week for such a severe headache. I would wake up and my head could be drawn back in such a pounding headache that before I woke up, I knew it was going to be a bad one.
I started following a low-carb lifestyle when my sister Debbie Stokes sent me the doctor Sarah Hallberg TED talk where she talks about what if we’ve been treating type 2 diabetes wrong.
First I thought it was just going to be a diet, something short, something as a stopgap, but what I found was it does much more than help you lose weight.
