Lost 48 lbs in weight since start of October 2014, when first diagnosed as Type 2.
Started off with a goal to drop my weight to 200lbs, will need to reset my target to a lower figure shortly as I am now 203 lbs in weight.
Certainly I have taken on board the need to lose weight and control my blood glucose level to a weekly average of 5.5.
This has included of course exercise, attending an exercise class run by local council where attendees are sent on it by their doctor, also going to the gym myself twice a week as well.
Now not needing to take medication, everything controlled by diet and eating to the meter.
Determination was my main impetus, as I was determined to keep driving without restriction by avoiding the need for medication.
