I just wanted to thank all my friends on here and hopefully inspire others. In early 2009 I was pushing 250 and called back after my yearly physical to for further tests and later to find out I was a type 2 diabetic. Yesterday I had a followup that marks a year that I have been off the meds, just going at it with diet and exercise. I was really stressed out waiting for the results of my a1c test because I had been working so hard. My doctor and I were updating information with the lab tech, 2 other doctors and 3 med students came to the door to see who it was that pulled a 5.1 on the A1c with no meds (well inside the non-diabetic range)!!!! (Weight 184 now as well)
He said i was his ideal patient but didnt need to see me again. Just when I thought it could not get any better, my kids each told me how proud they were of me and I got the biggest hugs of my life. My little one told me she was so happy I will get to live a long time, I just started balling like a little girl. Just to much emotion.
I owe it all to exercise... It can be done!

There are probably tons of people on this site who are pre-diabetes (at least) and don't know it. But to hear that with exercise, diet and effort that you can still undo the damage- that's amazing and inspiring. What a huge accomplishment.0 -
