Hello friends,
It's been a while since my last post here in the forum. I would like to share with you my experience with diabetes control after entering remission zone.
Briefly, I was diagnosed with T2 in Oct, 2017 with HBA1C 9%, but shortly, this number got down to 5.1% on Apr, 2018 after achieving a major change in my lifestyle and not following any medical plan.
The major challenge was to keep this record, which I believe it was difficult for me due to some factors:
According to this tight BG control was destroyed as the following:
The current result still not that bad, but it is far away from the target that I have achieved. Currently, I started to take back the control by doing the following core practices:
My next moment of truth will be after 3 months from now to check the progress and I wish to come back to the green zone.
I hope that provided information on this post will be helpful and I wish you all the best in controlling your diabetes.

Briefly, I was diagnosed with T2 in Oct, 2017 with HBA1C 9%, but shortly, this number got down to 5.1% on Apr, 2018 after achieving a major change in my lifestyle and not following any medical plan.
The major challenge was to keep this record, which I believe it was difficult for me due to some factors:
- I have been through stressful life events (Family and work).
- Staying on healthy life style while engaging with social activities was hard for me.
- Couldn't control my addiction to rice.
- Huge inflation in my country, Yemen, caused prices of foods doubled which means difficulties in keeping up with healthy food menu.
- STOP Exercising and bough a car.
- Sleeping difficulties due to the stress.

According to this tight BG control was destroyed as the following:
- FBS raised to 6.3 as a daily minimum after it was 5.1.
- Gain 7KG in weight and return to 90s zone.
- My last HBA1C at Jul, 2019 was 6.2%.
- Gain 7KG in weight and return to 90s zone.
- My last HBA1C at Jul, 2019 was 6.2%.
The current result still not that bad, but it is far away from the target that I have achieved. Currently, I started to take back the control by doing the following core practices:
- Being selfish by allocating more time for myself far from my family and work to do whatever I like.
- start eating parboiled rice daily with small amount (150gm per serve) in order to control my addiction.
- Using coconut oil for cooking.
- Drink warm cup of milk with cinnamon to get better sleep and solve my colon problems.
- Doing some basic HIIT exercises to reshape my body and improve my core.
- Restart to count the amount of the food taken and stop craving.
My next moment of truth will be after 3 months from now to check the progress and I wish to come back to the green zone.
I hope that provided information on this post will be helpful and I wish you all the best in controlling your diabetes.
