I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 2 1/2 years ago. Doctor wanted to put me on Metformin, but I asked if I could try changing my diet first. I worked with a nutritionist and I basically cut sugar out of my diet and watched my carb intake. In six months I dropped 45 pounds and my A1C since loosing weight and changing my diet is generally between 5.8 to 6.0 managed with no drugs. I do try to get in 8,000 steps a day daily. I’m 73 years old and have had afib twice and now take Eliquis until I see the electrologist next spring. I have hit a plateau on weight and would like to lose 10 to 20 more pounds. If anyone has had success with shredding those last pounds please share.
