One of the most rewarding (and exciting) things about being part of the Unicity Make Life Better movement is seeing all the lives changed.

I would like to introduce you to Bernice, a type 2 diabetic from St Andrews, New Brunswick (Canada). This is a true testament as to the effectiveness of the Unicity Feel Great System products. Especially being able to come off of insulin after 17 years! 

Here's what Bernice wrote:

Hi, my name is Bernice and I live in St Andrew's, NB. I am 64 and have been married for 45 years. I have two beautiful daughters and two very special grandkids Anthony and Maddie. I started a "diet" just one year ago to lose weight and get off Diabetic medications. It worked some, but it wasn't until I made a lifestyle change through Unicity that it all came together for me. I no longer take Insulin (did for 17 years) nor the pills. I am completely off all Diabetic medications. This program is not just a Lifestyle change - it is a life saver!

So many more stories

On January 15th, 2015, Marylyn woke up and couldn’t move any part of her body. She was rushed to the hospital and after days of testing she was told that because of the diabetes, she had too high blood glucoses despite the use of my drugs, the doctor had found her nerves had short circuited in her back and resulting in a diagnosis of Diabetic Neuropathy.

Why does all this happen?

According to Dr. Benjamin Bikman, internationally renowned metabolic scientist, pathophysiology professor and author of numerous books including Why We Get Sick and Insulin Resistance, he says the medical paradigm has it all wrong for addressing type 2 diabetes.  In this video he explains this in more detail. 

The Feel Great System: Reversing the Tide

Decades of clinical studies and scientific reviews point to a safe, powerful, natural system that can help bring back healthy blood glucose levels - a key to long-term management of type 2 diabetes. The reason The Feel Great System has met with so much success, and so fast, is that the two key products work.

The Feel Great System consists of two science-based food products. The first is Unicity Unimate yerba mate drink and the second is the Unicity Balance fiber matrix. When used together as daily routine system, they make achieving health glucose levels not only doable, but also enjoyable and sustainable.

Unicity Unimate yerba mate drink promotes the body’s natural production of ketones, supports feelings of wellbeing and relaxation, healthy cognitive function, helps with endurance and stamina, promotes satiety (keeps the hunger away), supports weight management efforts and healthy cholesterol. It's a powerful compliment when used with Unicity Balance for metabolic health.

Unicity Balance is a natural formulation that protects the body from the damage that can be caused by glucose and insulin spikes by delaying gastric emptying and lowering postprandial blood sugar. Simply put, when patients take Unicity Balance 10 to 15 mins before a meal, it creates a gel fiber matrix in the stomach. As the gel moves through the intestinal tract, food gets trapped inside it for short periods of time.

This lowers the rate at which food is absorbed, thereby extending the time over which blood-sugar levels rise and fall. With this more gradual process, the average blood-sugar level remains lower throughout the day, stabilizing both blood glucose and insulin at a healthy and acceptable plateau.

Natural Alternative to Medications

Unicity Balance is the clinically proven natural alternative to type 2 diabetes drugs like Metformin and Glyburide, the first-line drug treatment and the current standard of care for type 2 diabetes, as well as Statin medications for cholesterol management.

Backed by Clinical Results 

Unicity Balance has been extensively studied, peer-reviewed, and published in the medical journals. The clinical trials have been conducted by leading medical institutions including Cleveland Clinic, UCLA, Columbia University, Mayo Clinic and Stanford School of Medicine to name just a few.

• One published study conducted at the University of Sydney, Australia show that Balance (Bios Life) decreased the glycemic index of three common, starchy foods, namely white bread (bread), white rice (rice), and mashed potato (mash). In each case, it reduced the glycemic indices from “high” glycemic foods to “medium” glycemic foods. 
• Another study published and reported by the American Diabetic Association (ADA) in 2005 concluded that the results indicate that Balance (Bios Life) is a very beneficial fiber drink for type 2 diabetics who want to control their glycemic parameters and cholesterol in a natural, side-effect-free way.
• In another published study they took a group of 34 subjects with established type 2 diabetes and hypercholesterolemia added Balance to their diet. The drink was taken twice
  daily 15-20 minutes before meals. The conclusion was that the fiber component has reduced the post-prandial glucose levels and the resulting lower HbA1c levels indicate that Balance provides a natural option to improve diabetes management.
• In 2011, the University of Sydney published the Blood Glucose and Blood Insulin Study showed that one serving of Balance reduced blood glucose levels by 20% and blood insulin levels by 13%, and two servings reduced blood glucose levels by 28% and blood insulin levels by 27%.
