A special hello to anyone embarking on a low carb high-fat diet, and to the ones who are already on this journey keep it going you have so much to gain. Before I went on the journey I was in a sorry state, I had diabetes 2 breathing at times was an effort, walking any kind of distance was too painful. my weight was 17 st 3lbs I am a male 5ft 8" tall and was 67 years of age. I went for my annual checkup with the diabetic nurse and my blood sugar was 19! So she said I was on the maximum metformin and it was looking like I would have to start having insulin injections, this frightened me enough to change.
I was lucky enough to come across a video on YouTube the Diet Doctor, and it convinced me my lifestyle was killing me. well, the good news is I am no longer on medication for diabetes, my blood sugar is averaging 4.5, I can now walk over distance pain-free, I am, no longer breathless, and my weight is averaging 11 stone 11 lbs, and I feel like a million dollars! I hope you will find my story encouraging. PS I had a hbc1 test 3 months after stopping the medication and the result was normal yippee. I am now 70 years of age and feeling great.
 
What a complete turnaround! You are an inspiration and in my opinion you deserve a dozen Trophies. I would love to see your story in the 'Testimonials and Success Stories' part of the forum. Well done, Sir, you are a star.

Hi Viv just want to say what a great testimonial and so encouragingto u Enjoy summer and those walks.
 
Hey @Viv0147 what a wonderful story and you must be so pleased to be entering your 70's in such great shape! You have a couple of years on me, but you encourage me to stay the course with LCHF - Moderate fat for me because of gut issues - but that is fine too! Keep plugging along - you are a true winner:) Blessings/L
