Diabetic anyone?

Type 2 here. Diagnosed six months ago with no family history. First thing I did was get enrolled with a dietician and then a doctor who specializes.

Cut out sugery drinks. Changed over to complex carbs. Got an exercise program going by walking 2 miles a day four times a week. Taking metaformin. Reduced stress.

A1C went from 13.6 to 7.6 in 3 mts. Lost 30 lbs in 6 mts. Blood pressure went from 140s/90s (yes take bp meds) to 126/72 2 mts ago to 100/68 last wk.

Not there yet but on my way. Good luck to you all!
