In April when I was diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus I didn't think I would get things quickly under control. It almost seemed hopeless. Through blogging, reading other people's blogs, Facebook, American Diabetes Association and research I armed myself with knowledge. Although alot of people helped me and continues to help me ultimately the success or failure is mine to make. I'm happy to say my Type 2 diabetes is under control. It's been weeks since any major spikes.
By controlling my intake of the things that cause spikes I've lost a considerable amount of weight. Think my total loss so far is 20-22 lbs, I am around 137 lbs now. Less than 10 stone, with my ultimate goal of 9 (126 lbs). I have a healthy amount of body fat around 23% and once I reach my goal I'm hoping for 20%. For my height 126 would be perfect. I'm currently in a size 6 jeans and m-l shirt. Most likely I will end up in a size 4 and medium shirt.
Eating healthy and avoiding certain foods most likely lowered my cholesterol , so it's a win win situation. I was able to avoid insulin and improve my overall heart health. Diet and Metformin works wonders.
I'm still going to remain vigilant in controlling the diabetes because it's my health, body and life. Even though my numbers are normal I still have diabetes. It's just quietly lurking like any opportunistic disease waiting for me to relax my diet.
HA HA DIABETES I WON THIS ROUND!!!!
