[QUOTE="CzukayFan, post: 1531005, member: 428147"] That's fantastic and coincidentally I was told the same thing by my doctor today. My A1C in my recent test came back at 5.8 so I was thrilled to finally get it under 6. Similar to you, I was diagnosed just over 5 years ago and I immediately changed my lifestyle, not that it was terrible before, but I started cutting down on carbs and exercising. I was doing fairly well, better than most people but my goal was to have normal readings, not "good for a diabetic" readings and I refused to use medications to achieve that. I discovered the Keto diet 5 months ago and found drastic improvement as I went deeper into Ketosis and learned and understood more about it. I now train with weights 5-6 days a week and eat less than 30 grams of carbs per day. I've always weighed around 120 lbs since I was a teenager and am still the same weight at 55 years old, yet I eat 2500-3000 calories a day, mostly fat so I'm definitely not starving. I would recommend this approach for anyone serious about controlling their diabetes, it's not a cure despite what my doctor said, if I eat carbs I'm right back where I started from but I'll take remission any day.
