    Welcome to the community! <3

    If you haven't already, read the stickies at the top of the getting started forum. Very informative and helpful.

    I'm a type 1 adult onset diabetic. I've gotten off insulin with a pescatarian diet which is plant based with seafood, eggs and some dairy.

    Good luck with your journey!

    Wow!! You “were” on insulin?? So, what are you doing to control your blood sugar level. And whats your age, if you don’t mind me asking

    I'm 61. I just eat a lot healthier. I seem to be a medical anomaly. They don't know why my pancreas is now producing insulin and my fasting glucose is perfect. I was also leptin resistant and that's fixed itself, too.

    I'm still considered obese until I lose another 5 lbs then I need to lose another 35 or so to be healthy bmi.
