This article gives an excellent example of progress, healing and hope through the story of a man named Dario Wolfish who narrowly escaped a multitute of health complications through willpower, diet and exercise..

But in short it gives hope to people so they know it can be done and people are doing it every day. He took control of his life and did what he needed to do to remove himself from these dangers and now has a much healthier and fulfilling life.

“Nearly five years ago, his doctor told him that tests showed he was at risk of dying prematurely from a long list of medical conditions, including diabetes. The doctor warned him that all of these conditions would get worse quickly unless he lost weight — a lot of weight.

That was Wolfish’s “a-ha moment.” After a lifetime of gaining pounds at an alarming rate, he changed course decisively, though not all at once.

Today, the San Carlos resident weighs about 170 pounds and is in excellent health.

Wolfish narrowly escaped becoming one of more than 20 million Americans with diabetes, a number that has tripled in the last 30 years. Experts confirm what Dario discovered on his own — diabetes can be averted through lifestyle changes.”

That is a great article that not only tells this mans story but also provides explanations, tips and even food recipes. Here is the full article titled Dodging Diabetes.
