I went to the doctor for my quarterly physical and I have been doing my happy dance all day :bigsmile:

In 18 months, my BMI has gone from 62.4 to 35. I've lost almost 160lbs. My A1C has gone from 10.2 to 5.8. My blood pressure is normal (with no meds) and as of today, my insulin intake is down to 90 units a day from over 1000 when I started all this.

I celebrated by taking a nice, long walk!

    Amazing! And the really great thing is you celebrated in a healthy way instead of food! I think that is one of the hardest thing to learn. I know my family has always celebrated good news with going out to eat, or cake and ice cream. You obviously have the right mindset!
