    Congrats, that is so awesome:smile:
    you're living proof that reversing diabetes can be done.
    though diet and exercise a lot of aliments can disappear.
    for me it was sleep apnea and seasonal allergies.

    Congratulations, that is a rocking A1C. I was diagnosed last year at 31...one of the most devastating yet action invoking diagnosis I could get. I'm currently only on Victoza, and hoping to be off that soon, though my A1C isn't as amazing as yours. 5.8 here. I'm curious how you handle carbs, always wanting to learn how others have controlled, or in your case, squashed, the diabetes :)

    Congratulations!! That is so inspiring for me. I was diagnosed Type 2 15 years ago and I am working to get off my meds. My 1st A1C since starting exercise and MFP was this week and I have gone from 7.5 to 6.5 so I am heading in the right direction. Thanks for sharing your success!!

    That is awesome! I am working to get off Metformin. I was taking it twice a day and am now taking it once a day. Exercise is really making a difference. Knowing someone out there has done it means I can too! Thanks for the inspiration. :bigsmile:

    Congrats! My husband recently started on Metformin, and I'm hoping that with working out and being more careful with food, he can get off it. His dad's also diabetic, and he isn't really overweight, but it can't hurt to get fit, right?
