Diabetes Without Medication

Dear Lindsay and Danielle,

For some time now I have wanted to thank you for letting the Lord use you to (I believe) literally extend my husband’s life and provide for him to enjoy the life he has.

Like your family, we have tried to eat healthy for some time now and about a year ago I ordered your cookbook and video tapes. Soon after I received them my husband found out he has diabetes. He believes he has had diabetes for many years but did not know it. At that point we got very serious about his health. He determined that he would not go on any medication but would try to control his blood sugar through diet and exercise. Meanwhile, I got very serious about your recipes.

I have now been ‘living out of’ your recipe book for about 9 months. My husband’s blood sugar is staying under control without any medication. In addition, he has lost over 50 pounds! Our children at home are healthier than ever; we seem to avoid or easily overcome the viruses that keep attacking other families we know. Our grown children keep asking me, “What are you doing for Dad?” Everyone he meets that hasn’t seen him recently exclaims how great he looks and proclaims that he looks 10 years younger (he’s 62 years old). One of our grown sons that also has diabetes had me make lunches for him everyday to take to work (out of your cookbook). He kept calling me up after work saying, “I don’t know what that was you sent for me today but it sure tasted great!”

This summer I have been working full time for my husband; he’s an architect and I’m an engineer. We have had a young college student watching our youngest children (ages 7, 3 and 1) while I work. I felt lead by the Lord to use this time as a discipline tool for her, so I taught her how to cook our family’s meals (almost all out of your cookbook) and she has them ready when I get home from work. When she went back to college she asked me if she could have copies of the recipes I taught her to make this summer.

So, your ministry continues, blessing our immediate family, our extended family and even our babysitter (and her future family). My husband is more energetic and full of life than he’s been since he was a youngster. I’m glad for the extra time I believe the Lord is giving us to have him be with us.

In Christ’s love,

Katherine
