Is it success or stubbornness??

I have had diabetes for 27yrs nearly 28. and at the moment it is pretty difficult to keep it doing as I tell it. last Hb1AC was 50 (which for me is a miracle) and it's taken a vast amount of work to get there. But the point of this post is, despite my Diabetes' best attempts I have become a double British and World Champion in the M3 equipped single ply Bench press. this is the second time I have done it, but this year has been harder as I have also been diagnosed with a piturity/brain tumour and have gained weight, due in part, to medications. so despite this years ups and downs, I would say because of my innate stubbornness (due to having diabetes) I wouldn't take the advice of my Consultant and take up walking instead (apparently I'm in the wrong sport!).

You Control Diabetes, It doesn't Control You.

well done bruv, any success I’ve ever had (nothing like yours lol) has been achieved through stubbornness so the answer to your question is YES amazing
