It's hard to believe that 10 years ago (plus a month), I was over 300lbs and diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. While I'm still working on getting my weight down, my blood sugars are entirely kept in check with my WOE (way of eating).
Ten years ago, my A1C was 8.4mmol/l. When I saw my doctor a few months ago, it was 5.5. I really only check my bloods (sugars & ketones) every other day. Tonight I was floored at my numbers... it's been a while since I've seen them like this.
Blood sugars: 4.2mmol/l (75.6mg/dL)
Blood ketones: 3.9mmol/l
WOW! Now if I could only get my blood pressure back to normal, lol. I *hate* that stress buggers up my body in so many annoying ways.

This is so inspirational, but what beats knowing you 100% changed the course of your health, and you are doing all you can to take the best care of yourself that you can. Stress is a hard one, I know it’s your kryptonite, and as you’ve spent time and effort working on your physical health, you will need to put into mental health... which is my view is a greater challenge, one day at a time right ? ;)

Yes, Tor, one day at a time. I've always said, if I could stress eat celery, I wouldn't be overweight. lol
