I developed an exercise regimen — walking and now hiking. It’s wonderful. It has opened boundless opportunities. I went off hiking in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains of New Mexico. I took up fly fishing again after 20 years. I went hiking in the Canadian Rockies last month, hiking 11 miles and climbing 2500 feet in a day. Mighty good trade offs for carbs and sugars!! I’m 67 years old and doing stuff I did when I was 17!!

When you decide to do it — to NOT be a diabetic — there are all sorts of dietary “tricks” to make it happen. The biggest lifestyle change I have experienced in the process is now I really feel ALIVE again. Bless this program!!!

I am so excited that I am no longer in the pre-diabetic range…. I am thankful for this program to help me get on the right track and remind me how important a good diet and exercise is.

I don’t think I even realized previous to this AlivePD Program how sugar was affecting my body … weight-wise, glucose levels, etc. … What motivates me is my desire to lower my glucose levels to normal levels and to live a long healthy life. The side benefits of reducing glucose are reduced body weight and better health in general. Now that I have been educated by the AlivePD Program, I will continue a more healthy lifestyle and keep my glucose levels in check.

I am enjoying the AlivePD program. Gaining lots of info and trying to stay with commitments made in areas of weight loss, exercise, and making better choices in regards to my cooking/eating styles. Challenging, but worth the effort to ward off diabetes.

The possibility of diabetes frightened me. It inspired me to get on the treadmill 6 days most weeks and to eliminate or reduce many foods in my diet that I was not aware would contribute to this condition… I feel so much better because I’ve been exercising and have lost weight! I’m no longer out of breath at the top of the stairs. I have more energy, and I am more positive and confident.
