This is fantastic! It is great to know you have made such a positive step for yourself.
Diabetes runs in my family, but I no longer worry about it!

Wow!! I could have written the first part of your post. I too, went to the doctor 3 weeks ago and found out that my blood levels were out of this world, including my blood sugar.
I can't wait to go back in 3 months to see what they're going to be. If they're coming down, it means no cholesterol lowering drugs for me!
Anyway, congratulations on such a big improvement!!

Congratulations!! Getting off insulin is a huge success, and your A1C is pretty darn good, too! I bet the next one will be normal or close to it.

Wow, can I email your story to my mom. She is diabetic and I just talked her into starting the SBD. I think this will encourage her.

That is so awesome!
Hey Dawn,
I definitely going to keep up with your posts. I, too, am diabetic and taking only metformin. I am struggling to eat certain foods, I just received customized vitamins for me from "Ideal Health". I also have RA and osteoporosis. They are going to add Serotonin-plus to my monthly order. I'm struggling to exercise, some days I can do 30 min, other days I can do 90 min. On the days I can do less, I try to rest but I can't because I'm a little hyper. I'm glad for you that you continue to eat healthy.
Thanks.
Cindy Q

Just a little information
Dawn,
I just went to the Dr. and they thought I might be diabetic. Fasting sugar level was just a little high 112 but after drinking the gloucose (orange junk) it was tested again and was 329. I have an appointment with an endo. July 16th. Also have lots of sign of POCS. I guess what I need to know from you is what exactly have you been doing to have such great numbers on your test results that quick. And--is it possible I do not have diabetes. My mom had a kidney disease as a child and last year found out she needed dialysis. I was hoping to donate my kidney to her but if found to have diabetes they will not let me. Just thought I could get information from a regular person. I also want to make the changes as you have done but in my case I think I have caught it just in time. About 1-1/2 years ago everything was supposedly normal and now sugar and cholesteral are high. I have only gained 12 pounds since the last visit. I am hoping with what weight I have lost it will bring a better reading. I hope to hear from you soon.
