Being a pre diabetic, i have tried different products to no avail, Advanced Amino seems to be the exception to that rule, i am seeing slow progress but progress is better than no progress, i lost 30 lbs. of muscle in the past 3 yrs and have not been able to build it back up, recently i noticed that my ribcage is disappearing under my skin. I can see somewhat of muscle tissue starting to build on them bones, so I'm really excited and will use more of this product with hope to get back to my normal weight, thank you
