Diabetes and Figure 8 Weight Loss?
Have you or anyone you know done the Arbonne Figure 8 Weight Loss program, even though you have diabetes and take insulin shots every day?
The weight loss products have lots of fiber, protein, vitamins and minerals, and not a lot of sugar. I think they'd be WAY better for a diabetic person than most of the other foods out there! And they can still eat one or two normal meals, so they can get more sugar through those…..The sugar they DO have is not regular processed white sugar, but organic. I know that the doctor has the final say. But, if you have already had experience with this, I'm curious to see what you think!
I don't have diabetes, but one of my Arbonne clients does and she wants to do the program!
How is this advertising? I'm asking if anyone who has diabetes has done this program, or if they know someone who has! Chill.
I've never heard of your program and I have sincere doubts as to whether your products are "WAY" better for a diabetic. No food manufacturer will ever come close to the foods our bodies evolved around. (Or were created for us, if you prefer). They can try all they want.
As a non insulin dependent (type two) diabetic, I can't advise your client unless they are a type two wanting to get off the insulin. If they were, I would advise them to stick to what Mother Nature provides… as man made foods are terrible for us. Even Glucerna products which are made for diabetics… they're terrible also. That's what got most of us into this mess in the first place. Whether a sugar is organic or not, is meaningless. There are more than a dozen types of sugar. The safest for a diabetic is fructose from fruits and vegetables. Not high fructose corn syrup or any other man made source of sugar. If your sugar happened to be organic glucose, the effect on a diabetic's body would be exactly the same as refined glucose. If your organic sugar happened to be honey, the effect would be exactly the same as sucrose (table sugar)… organic or otherwise. Do you see what I mean?
Since consuming a wide variety of raw fruits and vegetables and almost totally dispensing with man made foods, my blood sugar has gone down and my need for medication has all but disappeared. I've taken two pills in the past month and no insulin at all. If your client is a type two, you would be doing them a service by having them read my diabetes info page linked under my profile.
If your program includes lots of daily exercise, I would encourage them to pursue that with all vigor. If not, your program is not likely to do them much good at all. Education would do them a lot more good.
