"i am 36 yr old 5&#039;4 226 lb. type 1 insulin pump dependent diabetic.  i was lost.  nothing worked. i started qsymia on 02/18/2013, the day after my birthday.  i needed help.  i had no will power.  so, after doing my research, deciding i had to make a change for me. i started qysmia, a low carb diet, and joined a gym.  i am happy to report i have lost 22 pounds. i have many more to go, but i have also lowered my insulin in half, and am working to delete my other dependency on blood pressure and cholesterol medications.  thanks qysmia, you helped me get my life back.
