After 30 Years with Diabetes, He Finally Saw His Numbers Drop—And He’s Still Amazed
For most of his adult life, Alfredo Hilado lived with type 2 diabetes. He followed his doctor’s advice, injected insulin daily, stayed active playing tennis five days a week, and tried hard to eat better.
But no matter what he did, his blood sugar remained high—often spiking between 250 to 400 mg/dL after meals. He took 2000mg of Metformin daily, along with insulin. Even then, his morning readings rarely went below 150.
“I had come to accept it—that this was how life would be.”
Then one night in April, Alfredo received a call from a friend who introduced him to a coach—and to something else:
⏱️ Day 1: A New Possibility
During the call, the coach said something that Alfredo had never heard spoken with such certainty:
“Diabetes is reversible.”
Those words stayed with him long after the call ended. He decided to try what she called a “barley-fied lifestyle”—a simple but structured routine that combined:
- 2 sachets daily of I AM Amazing Pure Organic Barley
- A low-carb, PFF (protein-fat-fiber) meal pattern
- A pause from insulin and Metformin, with guidance and monitoring
It wasn’t a magic promise. Just a quiet test—to see if something different could happen.

🏸 Day 2: Unexpected Calm
The next day, Alfredo skipped his usual breakfast of coffee and bread. He drank two barley sachets and went off to play tennis as usual.
What surprised him was what didn’t happen:
“I wasn’t tired. I wasn’t hungry. And I wasn’t craving anything.”
Later that day, he ate a simple meal: beef and romaine lettuce. Two hours afterward, he checked his blood sugar.
112 mg/dL.
“I haven’t seen that number in 30 years.”
He had taken no insulin. No Metformin. And yet, he felt steady. He felt okay.
🔢 Day 3: Letting Go of Insulin
For years, Alfredo had relied on 25 units of insulin every night. Even with that, his fasting sugar hovered between 150 and 200.
But on the third day—without insulin—he woke up to 105 mg/dL.
“I was so surprised. I didn’t know what to think.”
That night, he made a quiet decision. He didn’t take insulin again. The next morning? Still stable. Still normal.
📈 Before and After (3-Day Snapshot)
| Before (with meds) | After 3 Days (no meds) |
| Blood Sugar: 250–400+ | Blood Sugar: 95–112 |
| Insulin: 25 units/day | 0 units |
| Metformin: 2000mg/day | 0 mg |
| Constant cravings | Appetite gently calmed |
“What I noticed most is that barley helped curb my appetite. I wasn’t looking for sweets. I wasn’t bloated. I just felt… steady.”
🙏 A Quiet Gratitude
This wasn’t Alfredo’s first attempt to cut carbs or improve his numbers. But it was the first time it felt sustainable.
“I’ve tried many times before. I could only last two days. Then I’d go back to old habits. But this time, something was different.”
That difference, he says, was the consistency and support he felt from drinking I AM Amazing Pure Organic Barley—a product he hadn’t tried before.
“It helped take away the cravings. I didn’t feel like I was forcing myself.”
💬 Alfredo’s Words to Others
“If you’re living with diabetes, I’m not here to tell you what to do. But I do hope my story gives you hope.”
“This was just my experience. But after 30 years of trying so many things, this is what finally worked for me.”
“Amazing Pure Organic Barley helped me stay on track. It made the change possible.”
