About us

I would like to share with you my husband's Weight loss journey and why pure honey has become a big part of our diet.

My name is Mike; I would like to share my weight loss journey and my personal experience with diabetes, processed sugar and honey.

I was first diagnosed with diabetes in 2004, had an A1C of over 8.4 the doctor wanted to start me on an insulin regimen which I immediately refused over the course of the next 8 years I was able to prove to myself and the doctors that I could control my disease with a strict diet if I chose to do so, to be honest most of the time I chose not.

I have fought an an almost endless battle with obesity.

My journey began on the morning of November 7th, 2011, I had been feeling poorly the last few months prior to this day, in the back of my mind I had a good idea as to why, but I continued to ignore the warning signs.

on the morning of the 7th it came to a point that I could no longer ignore, so I reluctantly decided to check my blood sugar and at no surprise to me it was 385, my suspicion was correct. As I sat there looking at my glucose meter and thinking to myself that this could no longer be ignored, I decided that I had two options, one was to continue down this road i was on with this deadly and debilitating disease deciding my fate for me or I could change my life and fight this face to face, I chose to fight.

I am proud to say I am coming up on my 2 year anniversary and I have lost a total of 160 pounds.

My last A1C was under 5, I am no longer considered a diabetic, and all of this was achieved with proper diet and exercise. Pure Maine Honey is my only source of sweetener I use as it does not affect my glucose.

My wife has created many delicious recipes using honey and with its great taste and my success, I would have to say I am the person who inspired her to start Jammin.
