Say_When, Perfect! I’ve been following his youtube series. They are great motivations. Everytime I feel lazy, I think about my legs got amputated thus I need to avoid this tragedy at all costs- Thanks !  

A1C going down…👍🏼👍🏼 

It is completely do-able. I've kicked my diabetes to the curb (doctor says "no longer diabetic", I say recovering diabetic). My last A1C in June was 5.5. My motivation was not wanting to take insulin. Your motivation is 100% what will get you there!!! 

I ended up putting my diabetes in remission and my a1c is normal now but it is not always easy nor fun. Fun was eating whatever I wanted whenever I wanted but not worth losing my eyesight, legs, kidneys, not worth dying for. Good job.  

Yes! My childhood friend got both legs amputated knee below and years later died from type 2, a neighbor had 1 leg amputated knee below, my HS classmate just had to have the toe next to his big toe amputated. So, that’s been a big motivator for me. I can’t play with my granddaughters 🩷💜 if my body is all chopped off or go blind, etc. My A1c as of 2 weeks ago is 5.5. 

BAMMM!!! 👊💥🔥 

Thanks Sam, It is a doggone slow process but I got to be patience 💪🏽

Thanks Debra, All I know is every single good thing that comes out of our life is at a cost and sacrifice ! Nothing is free ! ☺️ Have a great weekend 👍

What is bubbled coffee? 

😁Bubbled coffee is my own creation:, half spoon of dark Nescafe, a splash of cinnamon powder, half spoon of Vitamin D organic milk: I make ‘em bubbling by using a push button stir shaft / stick. I tried stirring with spoon but didn’t come up as good so I bought the push button stir thing. luv my bubbles haha 😅 Enjoy your Day 🎼
