CAM treatments

I’d been overweight and out of shape for a long time. I used Glucofast for weight loss, and saw lots of improvement – it quelled my cravings and helped me keep my appetite in check. I love it! ^_^
I don’t know what the deal about “64% effective for reversing type 1” is . . . I’m not even seeing that on their web page. It’s not specifically a diabetic’s product. It’s for weight issues associated with insulin resistance and sugar cravings.

Are you diabetic? Do you promote/sell Glucofast as your business? I don't know anything about Glucofast, but any company or product that claims to be successful in "reversing type 1" diabetes (or ANY diabetes for that matter) is certainly not a reputable company and the product should therefore be avoided at all costs!

If the product says that then it is contradicting itself.

So this is your first post here, and its purpose is to promote some weight-loss product, and you've chosen "ILoveCheeseCake" as your user name? Lovely. I guess you think all diabetics must gorge themselves on cheesecake, and therefore we'd be able to relate to name like that, and be interested in your product, huh?
