*PING* and call all your friends, too.
This is significant.
Cheers!
Lost 70 pounds, hit the gym and controlled my diet. Within a year, my A1C dropped from 6.4 to 5.3 (and holding).
Started off at 315 pounds and looked/felt like an unhappy camper. I’m now down to 243 and life is more enjoyable. Pant size dropped from 54” to 46” and I’m down to 3x shirts. No longer winded on the steps, I can take LONG walks on the local trails (2-3 hours) and can even start to think about dating......ALL OF THIS WITHOUT FRIGGEN OBAMACARE!!!!
Getting my A1C under control means less meds and few trips to the doctor. It’s like a pay increase in a quasi sort of way.
Doc says there’s a good chance that when I reach my target weight of 180 (and keep up the exercise and diet), I could reach an A1C of 5.0 or less. At that point, I’m on a “conditional reprieve”.
I forgot to ping the list.
For reminding me, you get two pings, grey_whiskers. ;-)
