Thanks to the community

I've been lurking on these forums for a couple of months and thought it was time to say hi.

Three months ago I was diagnosed with type 2 with an a1c of 14.3% and fasting blood sugar of 16.5. Did a lot of searching the internet for information and quickly found this site and I've seen what a fantastic community you are. I read Dr. Fung's "The Diabetes Code" and thought it made a lot of sense so I started practicing intermittent fasting and reducing carbs.

Just saw my doctor this week, 45lb lighter and with an a1c of 6.2% and glucometer readings all within the normal range. Not taking any meds (stopped taking Metformin when I began fasting as it didn't agree with me on an empty stomach.) Dr. says that makes me his 6th patient in his 35 years of practice to achieve that kind of success!

I just wanted to thank you all for all the information, encouragement, and support, even though it wasn't directed at me.

Thanks guys. Reading some of the stories from members of this forum was a huge inspiration for me knowing what's possible, so I'm glad to be able to show another example.

Funnily enough my doctor still isn't sure about the fasting but he's not going to argue with results. I think he knows it'd be a pretty hard sell if he tried anyway, lol.
