5/27/2023 0 Comments Breaking the diabetes code![]() ![]() Virta was the first time I had ever heard of diabetes reversal. Now, I had heard about other programs like Naturally Slim that focused on portion control and why I was eating, but I would still have diabetes and require meds. That’s when I got a message from my company about Virta. I stopped going to the gym, lost touch with my support system, and ate my anxiety from March straight through the summer of 2020. I was also going to the gym pretty regularly. Between 27 and 41, I was on two types of insulin injections, Lantus and Novolog, as well as metformin, to reduce my blood sugar. Both my sister and uncle had been on dialysis, and my uncle even had a leg amputated. My mom had lost sight in one of her eyes. I already knew that the consequences of high blood sugar were terrible. I actually had some damage in both eyes, which required several years of laser surgery. Around age 25, I started to see a floater in my right eye, which turned out to be macular degeneration.
