Select early feedback from Purdue patients 90 days or so in, I'm off two out of three drugs (metformin only now), have lost 30 lbs, and feel so much better! This has been a life changer for me. Knowing others are going through this and succeeding has been super helpful. PURDUE PATIENT With regards to inflammation, I was diagnosed with herniated discs in my lower back well over 10 years ago. They would flare up all the time. Since Virta? Noticeable difference. Big noticeable difference. PURDUE PATIENT "For the first time since I was diagnosed with diabetes I feel like someone is listening to how I feel. This feels like there is plan and a way to achieve it." PURDUE PATIENT
Thank you!
