1 Dietfree-Good News for Diabetics What is Dietfree? Dietfree is concentrated herbs developed Superdragon TCM UK Ltd and Chinese Medical Academy UK. It is made from a range of pure natural concentrated Chinese herbs, which can: Improve pancreas function and insulin secretion by nourishing beta cells inside pancreas and prevent them from necrosis Reduce insulin resistance and promote bodies to use glucose for energy. All the information provided here is only for medical professionals and not intend to give medical advice for patients. If you are a patient, you must seek medical advice from your doctor or call for free consultancy from Medical Professionals in Chinese Medical Academy.

2 What are the benefits of Dietfree to diabetics? Studies performed in both UK and China have showed that Dietfree has a wide range of benefits to diabetics, which are summarized as follows: Dietfree allows diabetics to enjoy a variety of foods like normal person Some diabetics are trying to avoid delicious foods that contain high levels of carbohydrate, fat and calories, because they are concerned that eating them may cause undesirable effects on their health. Other diabetics believe that a diabetic meal plan is too costly or they must spend extra money on special foods that the rest of their family won t eat. Now they will happy to know that Dietfree can allow them like normal person to enjoy all kinds of foods. Dietfree enables diabetics to reduce the daily dose of diabetes drugs As well know, early in the course of type II diabetes, most people are able to achieve blood sugar control by just using low daily dose of diabetes pills. Over time, however, they have to increase gradually the dose of diabetes pills, as insulin secretion within pancreas progressively decrease and/or their body tissues become less and less sensitive to insulin. Increased daily dose of oral diabetes pills is not just matter of costs, but also results in more side effects of the pills on health, and more difficult to manage their diabetes. Finally, some of type II diabetics my fail to respond to diabetes drugs and have to start reliance on insulin injection. Once they start insulin, it is more likely they would continue to take it for life. This process is called stepping up of diabetes. Dietfree is able to stop the stepping up process, and moreover, it assists diabetics in reducing the daily dose of diabetes pills they usually take, and enables them to have step down therapy. For example, three to four weeks after taking Dietfree, the daily dose of diabetes drugs can be reduced by 20-30%.

3 Dietfree improves body s response to injected insulin People with type II diabetes must begin injecting insulin when pancreases eventually cease producing insulin. In fact, injected insulin can only address the problem of a lack of insulin secretion. It does not sort out the problem of insulin resistance. It is therefore very common that people with type II diabetes start with one or two injection per day, and then progress to three or four injection per day. Some people may even require very large doses of insulin to keep blood glucose in the desirable range. Large doses of insulin stimulate the appetite, causing a person to overeat and gain weight. This problem can be alleviated largely by adding Dietfree to diabetic therapy regiments, because Dietfree is able to prevent the progression of diabetes conditions through improving the response of body to injected insulin. Furthermore, Dietfree can help people with type II and those with type I diabetes to reduce the doest of injected insulin on a step-by-step basis. Dietfree is able to maintain and restore pancreas function and it is healthy. No side effect Dietfree is a health-care herbs made from pure natural Chinese herbs without containing any artificial chemicals. Hence, no side effect occurs when taking Dietfree. Neither does it cause low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) when taken alone at a relatively large dose. Suitable for diabetics at any age and any type Dietfree is suitable for all diabetics at any age and any type of diabetes. None-insulin dependent diabetics respond better than those with insulin-dependent diabetes. How to use Dietfree to lower the dose of diabetes pills or insulin?

4 A person with diabetes responds to Dietfree in his or her own way. It is therefore hard to give a fixed standard of how much diabetes pills or insulin can be reduced after a period of time of taking Dietfree. However, according to studies performed in China and UK, four weeks after a person start taking Dietfree, if his/her blood glucose level is brought below 130mg/dl or glycosylated Hemoglobin(HBA1C) is under 7%, and his or her diabetic symptoms have gone. The original dose of diabetic pills can be reduced by 20%-30%. For example, if patient is a Metformin (Glucophase) user, 1000-mg twice a day, now patient can reduce the dose to mg twice a day. If one to two weeks observation shows that the reduced dose of diabetes pills does not induce the rebound of blood glucose (note patient needs to carry on taking Dietfree), a further dose reduction by 10-20% can be made. However, in the case that the reduced dose of diabetes drug causes rebound of blood glucose (which is likely to occur, particularly when people s immunity drops due to cold/flu, drinking alcohol or injuries), the dose reduction should be delayed. With help of Dietfree, patient will enjoy step-down combination therapy, reducing the dose of diabetes pills on a step-by-step basis. When patient is able to manage blood glucose levels in the normal range by only using Dietfree without the need to take diabetes pills, this suggests that patient s pancreas have been restored greatly. Once this has been achieved) in general it will takes 2-3 months for most of none-insulin dependent diabetics to achieve this), carrying on taking Dietfree until pancreas fully restores its function to produce insulin. Over 75% of the people with type II of diabetes can restore their pancreases and clear diabetes after 6-9 months of starting Dietfree. Step-down therapy, with the help of Dietfree, is also suitable for people with insulin-dependent diabetes. Some people may use insulin plus diabetes pills. In such cases, the dose of diabetes pills is first reduced by 50% after three weeks of taking Dietfree. If this does not induce the dose of insulin, patient can try to reduce the dose of insulin by 2-3u each time for a week to see the response of your blood glucose levels to the insulin reduction. If it is all right, a further 2-3u reduction can be considered; otherwise the reduction should be delayed. On a step-by-stop basis, Dietfree enables patient to reduce the dose of insulin injection. If everything goes

5 smoothly, you may hope to just use low dosage of insulin injection by adding Dietfree if patient s pancreases are restored for insulin production. Superdragon TCM UK Ltd. Unit 5, The Courtyards Victoria Road Leeds LS14 2LB TEL: FAX: sales@superdragon.co.uk Web:
