Type 2 Diagnosis Changing My Life for the Better!!!
Hi, everybody.
I'm 45 years old and knew I was diabetic for a long time before I finally went to the doctor and got a diagnosis. I was 200 pounds overweight at my highest, and my feet were always in excrutating pain and SO COLD! I made some healthy changes over the past year and a half - drinking ONLY water (and now green tea), and exercising here and there - and it was enough for me to lose 40 pounds over that time.
But the day my doctor called me to tell me that my A1C was 10.1 and I have Type 2 diabetes (June 24, 2015) was the day I realized that I can't just change a few things... I have to change EVERYTHING. She wanted to put me on four Metformin per day and said if that didn't work, we would try other meds and use insulin as a last resort. I said, "Wait... Is this reversible? Can I fix this?" And she said "No, but we can control it with medication." I don't know why, but I didn't believe her. So I got on Google and I sought out functional/integrative medicine - and it has CHANGED MY LIFE!
I read a book called "The Blood Sugar Solution" by Dr. Mark Hyman and it is REVERSING MY DIABETES. (I swear to you, I don't work for him... Just want everyone to find this.) I was only on Metformin for two days (started at just one pill), but it made me VIOLENTLY nauseous so I couldn't take it. I decided to go WITHOUT meds and follow this program like a religion. I've been doing it for six weeks, and in that time I've lost 45 pounds (down 85 pounds total) and my blood sugar went from 282 at my first home test, to now hovering between 112 and 145 (testing twice daily). This works!!! Please, get the book if you want to reverse your diabetes. (I have the audiobook and listen to it over and over again in the car, cleaning the house, etc.)
I really hope that this post can help other people the same way that finding that book helped me. Peace, love and health to you all!
