A Happy Diabetes Story!

I'll quote part of this story and then give you a link so you can see a brief video presentation about it.  Nice to know one can triumph over Type 2 Diabetes.  This came from Rod Larkin.

"On Feb. 11, 2016, I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes.  Knowing that Type 2 Diabetes is nearly totally diet and weight related,  I knew what steps I needed to take.  #1. Lose weight.  #2. Change my diet and eating habits. 
 #3. Exercise.

 I made up my mind that I was NOT going to be a victim of poor choices and decision of  my own.  I get fed up seeing all the Type 2 Diabetes drug commercials on TV.  There is no reason anyone with Type 2 Diabetes needs to go down that slippery slope because, over time, year after year, the condition gets worse which leads to more and stronger meds that eventually lead to insulin injection.  Type 2 Diabetes is preventable and I am here to tell you --- it is reversible.

 I swung into immediate action that very same day.  My results as my doctor put it today --- are stunning.  I just had my third set of blood work done in the last 90 days last week and saw my doctor today.  In February my A1C was 8.9.  It is now 5.5.  I have only been taking 1  500 mg dose of metformin daily (the lowest possible dose).  Today my doctor said I can quit taking the metformin and said -- 'as far as I am concerned, you are now non-diabetic, and you did this in just 3 months!'

 Since January 4, 2016,  I have lost 48 lbs. and my BMI has gone from 31.90 to 25.00.  My diet and eating habits have changed for good.  It is now effortless for me to eat the way I do and I enjoy my new diet 'lifestyle'.  I eat great foods I like and enjoy and I eat LOTS of food -- and am rarely ever hungry.  I was much more hungry before -- the way I used to eat, so I snacked all the time between meals and in the evening and now I don't, which is a major reason why the weight has come off and my blood sugar has dropped dramatically."

 Rob goes on to suggest that you tell anyone who is a Type 2 Diabetic about his story.  Many people have done this - not just Rob.  Here's a video presentation:  www.onechangecounts/#healthcrisis.  It may take a minute for the page to load.  If for some reason the Health Crisis video doesn't open, you can access it by scrolling down the menu on the left - and click on Health Crisis.   This tells you what Rob did in diet, supplements, lifestyle.  He says, "  This is not a part-time, on again, off again program.  It is a 'life style'.  It's how you live on a daily basis."

 Whether you're thinking of yourself or some one you care about, this is the time to look at the video and get going.
