Last year at this time, I was diagnosed with a complicated case of Type 2 Diabetes. My metabolic values were all over the place, my chloresterol was high, everything was bad. I found a work out buddy and started working out 5 days a week.
I had my annual labs today and everything is back within normal limits! I am so excited - I feel like I have a second life ahead of me now.

    He was my co worker and I knew he ran marathons and was big into fitness. I asked him if he'd be willing to work out with me and keep me motivated and we've been best friends and workout buddies since!

    Way to go, such a victory. T2DM is one of the most common and most harmful diseases, but it is 100% reversible with lifestyle, nutrition, and exercise.
