The two main symptoms that brought me to Alternacare were my weight gain and my pre-diabetes.  I tried counting carbohydrates, Weight Watchers and QuickWeightLossCenter but I was still unable to loose weight and keep it off.  I was tired all the time, I was depressed and had no confidence or self esteem.  I did not want to get up in the mornings, my feet hurt and I had headaches a lot. What’s worst is I felt unattractive which affected my relationship with my husband.  I didn’t want to see people I had not seen in a while and would actually go the other way in a store to avoid them.  I couldn’t even get my house clean, I just didn’t want to get up and do anything.

Since receiving care at Alternacare I have lost about 28 pounds so far.  I’m off my medication Metformin.  My A1C has dropped from 5.5 in December to 4.7 now in April and my blood sugar readings are under 100.  My headaches have greatly improved and my energy has increased dramatically.  I feel great about myself and I’m full of confidence and self-esteem.  I enjoy life now and I have actually become addicted to exercise!  I handle everyday issues better because I’m happy with myself and my health.  I have already recommended Alternacare to my mother and she has now started on a road to better health.  Thanks so much Alternacare.
