I have had diabetes since I was 4 years old. Am now 24 and just can't get rid of the belly fat. My control of my diabetes has gotten very difficult through the years and now my concern is heart and stroke if not get the weight off. I have been trying everything for years.

I am on medical and will try to afford with savings to get this done.
