Diabetes Success Stories
“My wife sees Dr. Vaughan, in which she continued telling me I need to go see her to get help with my diabetes. She had seen me struggle with it for 10 years. I am only 54 years old, my health started to deteriorate. I finally went to have a visit with Dr. Vaughan. I was really impressed by her knowledge and her approach. My A1C was 10.4. Immediately in the program my fasting blood sugars started dropping. My head wasn’t as foggy and I wanted to go work out because I had more energy. She ran diagnostic test and discovered I also had a thyroid issue. After working with her and doing as she asked my A1C is now 5.2 on no medications. My thyroid is back in balance. I have my life back. Thank you Dr. Vaughan.” –Tim L
“I have been treated by Dr. Vaughan for the past 10 months for weight loss and control of my diabetes. She has been very helpful and informative by teaching me a new way of eating (not dieting) that has helped me loose 45 pounds and drop my A1C from 7.2 to pre-diabetes levels, currently 5.8. She has listened well to my personal circumstances and taught me ways to handle them. The extensive testing she coordinated has found several foods that I have sensitivities to that other doctors had told me to eat. Her personalized program has been very effective and I recommend her to any one trying to get their diabetes under control!” –David S.
“I have been on thyroid medications for almost 20 years and on diabetic medications for 15 years. It seems that the medications continue to increase, while my symptoms worsened. I have rheumatoid arthritis, with pain through out my body, fatigue and feeling not as sharp as I was in the past. I began to see Dr. Vaughan and within a few weeks I noticed an increase in energy. My diabetic medications began to drop. My weight began to drop. I have fought losing weight all my life due to my thyroid issues. My A1C was 8.9 when I started, with three different diabetic medications, high doses of statin medications and 150 mg thyroid medications. Six months later I am proud to say I have more energy than ever. I lost 35 pounds. My A1C is at 5.6 and off all diabetes medications, off my statin medication and my thyroid medication dropped down to 25 mg. Dr. Vaughan helped me realize I also have auto-immune thyroid, and how to control my auto-immune flare ups from happening. If you want to be healthy or get support out of your disease to a better place, go to Dr. Vaughan. Stop waiting. Your health will only get worse if you don’t address it.” – Karen C.
