[QUOTE="Grateful, post: 1594648, member: 438800"] Thank you -- so are yours. That's a large reason why we are here, to learn from others' experience (in a mutually supportive way) so that we can each do our best. I have no idea why it was so relatively easy for me to achieve those A1C levels, but that is the reason why I chose the user name "Grateful" on this forum because that is truly how I feel. It is also a reaction to the really dire information that the conventional sources dispense about T2 diabetes. I really did get the impression that reversing T2 solely through diet/exercise was a "once in a blue moon" event but it is clear from this forum that this is not the case. It is shocking to see how it is "marginalized" as a treatment option. I would never even have done it if I had not had such luck as to have a doctor who prescribed diet/exercise for several months before even considering drugs. Of course when I say it was "relatively easy" to take the diet/exercise route -- it takes a lot of work. But it is not beyond the ken of man, or woman. Plus, it has all sorts of extra benefits. The danger is over-evangelizing, just because it has worked so well personally. It is not for everyone, and it won't work for everyone. But it is worth a "good try" if circumstances/medical history allow. [/QUOTE]
