Can we call this a success story?

So today I was alerted to the fact that my barely two year story of Diabetes has been published on the Hull Daily Mail website!

https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/news/health/diabetes-man-loses-7st-reverses-2875514

I suppose technically the whole thing happened in the far off time of January when I found this amazing forum and the lovely people here that gave me the advice that catapulted me to better health and remission of my Diabetes. Looking at that old picture of mine, I know that it was a terrible one for them to pick but honestly? Proves a point of how bad I was even back then!

With fasting and random numbers constantly in the 4's and the highest post meal rises in the mid-5's now I can safely say that I am beating this and the only con?

The jeans I bought hardly a month ago are two inches too small now...

Thanks again everyone!

That is wonderful. Of course it is a success story, and well done for the mention of this forum and the low carb programme. Let's hope your story reached out to many readers.

Thank you and I really do hope so too, you all were so invaluable and helped me to turn a dark bit of news into a win that will keep me going through life. I really could not have done this without you all.

Of course, don’t forget that it’s only a partial success. Your diabetes is in remission but you’re going to drop dead tomorrow from chronic keto crotch. If only you’d have eaten all your healthy whole grains in the first place eh? Tut tut.

I am the one N=1 in fact! Oh trust me I am going to weaponize that keto crotch and chase after all of these people that are telling me to eat whole grains. If I drop dead tomorrow at least I know I made an impact

I love a bit of profanity to add to the tone of my messages (as the poor mods know) but I’m not allowed so...

You rock! In more ways than one, jolly good show old bean.

So do you as well! Honestly a member that has inspired me and don't worry about the profanity, I can see where you would put it Thank you!

Surprised me when I saw it as well, that was taken a few years back when I was still rocking the 24 stone weight or there abouts at a Halloween party. Thank you!

Most definitely a success story. It is embarrassing when they use the old you photos but it really does have impact. Visual stuff like that is very persuading so well done you on putting your amazing story out there and helping others realise there is a choice and a way forward.
Great that you have had such amazing results

I'm grateful for them using that because seeing what I look like now really does show me I am on the right track to getting my health back. Thank you ever so much, if I could do half of what yourself and the others do at getting the word out there then I would do it in a heart beat.

Awwwwwh thank you! That's great of you to say!

Whew I wanted to say thanks to each one of you because this forum has been a boon to me for the longest time even though it's not even been half a year! I am still a work in progress but if it's progress that inspires others my age? I'll gladly show it. Thank you all, once more for your continued love and support.
