[QUOTE="MikeZ, post: 831412, member: 169115"] I went from non-diabetic in November 2014 to an A1C of 9.5 in Feb. 2015. Since then I have lost about 22 lbs. and been exercising very regularly. Low carb but not high fat on the diet. I went in for an evaluation today and my average blood glucose reading was 5.06 over the last 30 days. I fully expect my next A1C to be around 5.5 As far as I'm concerned, I'm lucky. I'm lucky that I was able to make some lifestyle changes and take control. I fully realize that not everyone will have the ability, (or even the possibility), of turning things around so quickly and easily. This post is not for you. This post is for those that CAN easily make a difference and CHOOSE not to. Don't do that! Borrowing a little from "Good Will Hunting" here: You owe it to those that have a tougher row to hoe. Look, I am only a few month into this. I don't know much. But I know that if I was in the position of "doing my best with no results"... it would be hard to deal with folks that don't even try. I'm just encouraging people to try. Type 2 [/QUOTE]
