I’ve lost 117 pounds in fourteen months. I was diagnosed with prediabetes in May 2018. I was determined to turn my health around so I cut out sugar, salt and simple carbs in order to control my blood sugar. My AIC at the time was 11.5 and my blood sugar was 579.

I recently had blood work done and my AIC dropped to 5.2 and FBS was 90. I no longer take diabetic medication but I still test once a day to stay on track.

Such a GREAT question! With my 76lbs down, I've experienced sooooo MANY problems resolved. Here's some of them:

My eyesight is so much better--no more blurry vision, I RARELY wear glasses anymore.

My feet have shrunk 1 to 1.5 sizes, from an 8.5 to 7-7.5 shoes now

When I was obese and overweight, my poor husband used to wake up exhausted, telling me he couldn't sleep and when I would asked him why? He would hesitantly tell me my snoring kept him up all night. I don't snore anymore at all--that what he tells me.

I'm no longer pre-diabetic

Walking, even to the mailbox and up and down the stairs was so painful to me--no more at all.

My back used to hurt all the time, no more

my skin on my body used to be dry and dull and my face was, ummmm, dull and dark circles under my eyes all the time. Now my skin is soft and gorgeous and my face/complexion looks like baby's skin and no more dark circles under my eyes.

Getting in and out of the bath tub was a struggle and UGHish--I LOVE my bathtimes now, so much--no problems at all anymore.

A lot more stuff, but that's all I can think of now.

ETA: Oh! I just thought of one more. When I was obese and overweight I used to keep a GIANT sized bottle of Tums by my bed because I would either have heartburn ALL the time OR wake up with heartburn...it was terrible!!

I can't remember the last time I had heartburn, it's been soooo long!

When I was overweight I had irregular cells come up on my smear test. Heavy periods and constant cramping. Hormonal af. My hair, which is already too thick, started getting thicker and I am sure it gained sentience at some point. I've now lost 18lbs and all that has gone away, including the irregular cells and the crazy hair.
