Since my diagnosis in 2009, I've lost about 135 pounds, and now clearly have a non-diabetic A1c with no medication of any kind. Yes, I used metformin at first. But this...this is all about weight loss and eating the kinds of foods that do not raise your blood sugar. FWIW, my A1c is 5.4.

Great work Marvin! So nice to see it confirmed on paper. Is your doctor a believer?

Jean,
I have never engaged him in the topic of diet. And he's never asked. I've been going to him for just under two years. I figure that I'd rather let my numbers speak for me.

I do think he takes a different approach than most doctors. He would prefer to not over-medicate. He has told me so. He doesn't believe in medication for borderline situations. He did not get worked up that my total cholesterol is 211. I think he is more abreast of current research, but again, I figure the easiest way to not have to engage on the topic is to show improvements in health.

This is tremendous. Great job.

Very impressive, and no matter how much positive feedback you're getting from your physical changes, it's really nice to see a documented confirmation!

You've provoked me to jealousy! Congrats!

Great work, Marvin!

WHOOP!!!!!! It is a huge pat on your back!! Congratulations!

This is why we are doing what we are doing, eating this way. Two years ago, my doc said he was not even going to chart it as long as I continue this way, From A1c of 7 to 5. With Eating right!
