[QUOTE="CatManRob, post: 2130525, member: 514313"] Good Morning Folks. My names Rob, and I live in Hoddesdon in Hertfordshire in the UK. I'm a 51-year old male who is recovering from an accident where I had the top of my right foot ripped off by a careless employee dropping a tail-lift from an articulated 48-tonne vehicle on my foot! That happened in December 2017, so because of the pain and inactivity due to the tissue regrowing, I was unable to walk or exercise for some time. Thankfully though I've made great strides (forgive the pun) & I'm now very nearly able to say I've eliminated my walking with a pronounced limp! Now you might not even notice, but I know it's there lurking in the background! I found I had type 2 diabetes a couple of months ago with a blood sugar of 101m/mol (8th May 2019) and reduced it to 59m/mol (5th August) in three months and I'm on an express journey to reduce my insulin resistance to healthy levels as soon as is possible. As soon as the levels are within normal levels, then I'll sightly change my regime by adding weight into a backpack, to build muscle by weight resistance training, similar to what the military does, but at a level catered to peoples weight, fitness and general health. I've changed my diet dramatically (virtually vegan now) & I'm using intermittent fasting to improve my insulin sensitivity and I'd like to share my experience to help those who have slow progress or have no idea where to start. I'm the doctors ideal patient, in that I can do the changes that are required and need no motivation from them to do so, but what I've learned medically in the last few years I may as well have studied for a degree. Anyone might think I was keen to get rid of my insulin resistance or something!! This post has been edited by a moderator. [/QUOTE]
