Intensive medical treatment can reverse type 2 diabetes

Testimonial: 61yo, Diabetic for 20 years, High Blood Pressure, Starting weight 150kg

My name is Jenny. I am 61 years old and I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes approx. 20 years ago. At the time of the diagnosis I maintained a health weight for several years, however over the last 10 years my weight increased to approx. 150 kg and my blood sugar levels increased to the point where my doctor told me that I would be looking at having to use Insulin if I did not do something to stabilise my blood sugar levels. That was a wake up call I needed.

My Diabetic Educator introduced me to the Medi-Cal program with Kent, and my journey to healthy eating began in 2015. I dropped weight rapidly on the eating plan, but as well as losing the weight to reduce my blood sugar levels I regained my life.

Initially I couldn’t walk to the corner of our road without my hips and knees aching. I am now able to exercise, walking daily with my husband and 2 Labradors, go to the beach, do Reformer Pilates, aqua aerobics, my joints don’t hurt and I can put on my shoes and socks with ease! The simple things people take for granted. Apart from that my doctor is pleased with my progress, I have reduced my medication for both the diabetes as well as blood pressure medication.

I very quickly dropped 50 kilos in weight, and over the last year I have maintained that weight and sit at approx. 96 kilos. I still hope to lose more weight. Many thanks to Kent and Medi-Cal, your encouragement and optimism for my success have helped me every step of the way!

Testimonial: Insulin Resistance
In late 2015 I was diagnosis with Insulin Resistance (pre diabetic), I weighed 92kg and miserable, my doctor advised me to visit Ray to help me lose weight and lower my blood sugars.
From the first time I saw Ray he gave me the confidence and self-belief that I could achieve a healthy weight and fitness.
In the 12 months with Ray I have lost 20kg (how good is that!) and now I go to a Personal Trainer twice a week and walk every day. I now have more energy to play with my kids and normal day to day things without being exhausted.
From Day 1, Ray’s encouragement and support gave me the confidence and self-belief that I can achieve my goals for a healthy weight and fitness. My goal is to lose 30kg, I am now 2/3 of the way to my goal weight.
Ray, words can’t express my appreciation for what you have done for me. Your kindness and confidence building is unsurpassed and I know that with your continued help I will achieve and maintain my goals.
A huge thanks to Ray and his team for helping me achieve my goal and become a much healthier person and my glucose levels are now normal."

Testimonial: Pre-Diabetic and Fertility Issues
My GP referred me to Ray Kelly's program to help me to lose weight and help with my fertility issues. I was Pre-diabetic, struggling with confidence and felt horrible about myself.
I've struggled with my weight for a very long time, and I have tried a lot of different programs to try and lose weight, none of which were successful in the long term.
The first appointment with Kent made me feel good about moving forward, he gave me some great advice and a plan to get started. The first week was hard, I had some unhealthy habits that needed to be broken.
I lost 3kgs in the first week!
Suddenly the hard work didn't seem so hard and it felt like a realistic plan to live by.
Most of my unhealthy habits have been replaced by healthy ones, I have a better understanding about healthy food choices and I've joined the gym and exercise at least 3 times a week, something I would never have had the confidence or energy to do before losing weight.
I've lost nearly 20kgs, I feel better than I have in a long time and I am confident about moving forward to lose more weight and get to my goal of having another baby
