Hey all; last year, June of 2017 I was 288lbs at 5'8" tall. Had just found out I had t2 diabetes. My A1C's were 12.2. By December 13th I had my A1C's down to 6.2 and my weight was at 215lbs with diet, exercise, insulin and two other medications. At that point my Dr. pulled me off all the meds and insulin. July of this year I'm at 178lbs 30" waist and my A1C'S are at 5.1.
Now I'm shooting for 20% body fat. I'm 43 years old, 44 in January. I'm getting my life back. My daughters are getting to know the life loving man their mother fell in love with, and my wife is getting the old younger me again. Drive forward!!!!

Way to go man. I was just diagnosed Type 2, found out because my life insurance renewal was declined. Can you run us through a summary of what you did to turn everything around? I've dropped 32 pounds over the past 2 years but it wasn't enough in time I guess. I'm desperately trying to avoid medications if I can, but any advice you can give would be appreciated!
thanks
