Well done that man! I was diagnosed T2 in 1986, without being overweight. I went down the route of Chloropropamide and Metformin. However, the latter was a disaster for me, so I moved to Insulin. Over the years, all was well, then, after an injury (or few) I stopped playing football at 44. I also stopped smoking. My weight began to suffer, my Insulin use increased, my Depression got worse. In October 2016, I weighed in at exactly the same weight as you were (241 lbs) and had some very poor HbA1c results. After speaking with my Diabetic Unit people, I did some research on changes of meds. In June, I abandoned Sitagliptin and started using a Victoza (Liraglutide) injection. I also cut down my insulin intake by a quarter, then increased the cut to a third. This, along with switching my diet towards a moderate low carb diet (1 slice of bread per week, no rice or pasta) but with more fresh veg and fruit, helped my weight to come down. In November, I added Jardiance (Empagliflozin) to my meds. Until this week, I have been on less than half of my October 2016 total Insulin dose (from 91 units of fast & slow down to 38 total units) I have had a bit of a wobble with some errant higher sugar levels in the last few days (my guess is some virus of other troubling me). Seeing GP in a couple of weeks for a check up. I am now down to 180 lbs, so a total loss of 61 lbs since Xmas 2016. Overall, I am a lot fitter than I was, and now have the hope that I can reach my long term target of 175 lbs. I am completely off the Blood Pressure tablets (2 types) with the full agreement of my GP and return figures, that I've not seen since my early 20s (am 59 now). Still have work to do but your story helps enormously!
