John Murray Vice President of Finance, Citigroup, New York City is a diabetic with Type 2 diabetes. John is no stranger to diabetes; recently, his father had to have his ankle amputated because of the disease and tragically, his grandfather had to have both legs removed because of diabetes.

John also has his own diabetes stories to tell. About a year and a half ago, he started having strange mood and energy swings, which he attributed to an overload of caffeine in his diet. But when he switched from caffeinated coffee to decaf and the wild mood swings didn’t go away, he went to see his doctor.

At first, John’s doctor told him he had high cholesterol and that he needed to regulate it. But John wasn’t convinced; he asked his doctor if his erratic highs and lows could be attributed to unstable blood sugar levels. John’s doctor agreed and they ran tests to check his blood sugar. Normally at 86, John’s sugar levels had risen to 123 and then to an astounding 213! His doctor suggested that he increase his diabetic medication but John wasn’t having any of it! He wanted to find a more natural, safer way to maintain stable blood sugar levels.

And that’s where bitter melon capsules came in! One of John’s co-workers told him about the capsules and John decided to try them out. After only 15 days, John started noticing that his blood sugar level was stabilizing, even going lower than he expected! A normal blood sugar level is 90—John’s blood sugar went down to an amazing 83!

Of course, John doesn’t go out and eat 10 chocolate cakes a day and drink 5 cans of Coke in one sitting; he exercises and he watches his diet. But, many diabetics, even when taking dietary precautions and exercising regularly, still struggle with unusually high blood sugar levels—and they need a product like bitter melon capsules to help their bodies maintain healthy blood sugar.

Today, John is so convinced of the power of bitter melon that he wants to start promoting the product to the diabetic community. “I feel so balanced now; my moods and energy used to be so out of control but now I feel great! I have so much energy and my stress level has decreased dramatically —how could I keep this to myself?” he declares. “I want to start giving back to the world; I know what it’s like to suffer from this disease and I know how painful it can be. But I also know what bitter melon can do for people with diabetes. I want to help other diabetics experience the transformation that I have experienced by using bitter melon products. ”
