“Thanks to Diabecinn my blood sugar
level is between 5 and 7”

My name is Audrey Wensing. About 18 months ago, I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I was 59 years old then and, even though my father also had type 2 diabetes when he was a little older than me, I was completely dumbfounded when I heard the diagnosis.

I was first prescribed medicine, but from the beginning I had problems with nausea and intestinal inconveniences. My glucose meter more and more often gave low readings and these hypos really frightened me. I even became so frightened that I was afraid to get a hypo in my sleep and nobody would notice it! 

I stopped taking the medicine and decided to get my diabetes under control by means of a diet. The next 6 months I was trying, by trial and error via a change in my eating habits, to regulate my blood sugar level but, even though I was beginning to feel a little better, the readings were still fl uctuating up to as high as 8.7 mmol/l. I was, however, following a healthy diet—wholemeal bread, lots of raw vegetables—and over time I had lost 16 kilos.
