I am 70 years old and a diabetic for 60 of those years. Keeping fit has been a challenge. For approximately 6 weeks I have been using the machine (two or three times a day for five to ten minutes.) I have noticed not only weight loss, but, reduced swelling, increased blood flow in my legs, and nerve stimulation that may lead to reduced neuropathy. Almost forgot the 20% reduction in insulin requirements. I know of three people (diabetics) one has already ordered one and two are about to. All I do is stand on it while trying really hard to stay off my heels, getting stronger calves and thighs. My only complaint (more an observation) when I stand up straight my nose and ears tickle, it's annoying.😀😁😂
