Patient Testimonials on Diabetes:

Dear Dr. Castellanos,

Thank you for your guidance in getting my husband's Type II Diabetes under control. The diet plan has worked for both of us. Lewis feels better and the measurable difference is in the fact that his weight and cholesterol are both down to healthy levels. He sleeps better and night sweats are virtually gone. His circulation is improved.

It took some doing but once we scheduled our meals and exercise times to accommodate the diet plan and our needs, the results were dramatic and obvious after a very short two months.

At first I thought Lewis was just being grouchy. When I started going to his appointments with you, I began to understand the depth of the problems he faced in terms of his diabetes. I am the one in our family who does all the meal planning (God bless him, Lewis does everything else). So it is important that I understand his diet needs.

The hardest part for me was that I felt fine. I don't have diabetes. I can eat a pound of sugar a day and not feel it at all. Of course, there was the pesky problem of weight gain (mine). I was the 'road runner' of weight gain...speeding along from size 14 to 16 and eating my way to size 18. It didn't bother me because I come from a family of small (average height 4'11" to 5'3") round women. But, following the same diet/exercise plan as Lewis, I have lost 15 pounds...my size 16 clothes now hang attractively from my hips...I must say, I look marvelous.

Americans are the only people on the planet who can afford to be afraid of their food...witness the abundance of talk dedicated to diet and the glut of diet 'experts.' Your sensible guidance and our willingness to follow it, modify it to our specific needs, and (important) acknowledge what works and what doesn't, has had the best results we could have hoped for.

Lewis and Carol Rowe
