--- Losing weight on insulin
Bob, just a friendly bit of advice, you will not go very far trying to sell Herbalife here. You are wasting your time, at best. Not one of the reader of these newsgroups -- at least the ones that I read -- has any interest in Herbalife, and not for the lack of information and definitely not due to lack of herbalife spammers. We had many herbalife spammers come and go. i

People become so upset when they hear word "herbalife", partly because it was hawked here a little bit too much to anyone's taste. If you are a diabetic who is interested in dieting in general, many newsgroups here would offer good venues for discussing issues relevant to you. I suggest to not mention "herbalife" or your commercial website at all if you want to maintain a useful conversation. I own a few commercial websites myself and I know how hard it is to resist trying to promote them. And yet, often, the best course of action is to not overdo it. -- 223/172.5/180

Even if they did, so many, many spammers send unsolicited bulk advertisements like this that the form advertisements are considered "cancel on siight" spam.

That was naive at best. This was a mild reaction compared to some. I don't care about Herbalife - that wasn't the point. NO spam of any sort by anyone is appreciated on any of the serious disease sites. I left the x-posts in this time because I don't know which site you are reading, but mass x-posting is not appreciated either. And if you made Herbalife work, you can make any diet work. It's not the product that succeeds in a diet, it's the attitude and discipline of the dieter. Read my post again; it was serious advice that may be the best you've heard as a diabetic - because it's simple, practical and it works. If you want to re-introduce yourself on usenet as a diabetic looking to share non-commercial advice you may be welcome, but you've got a negative start to overcome.
