This update is important to me...
I just returned home from a doctors visit. The doctor is aware of me tracking my food intake and exercise and encourages me each visit. I'm glad he does too because some friends and family have let me know that they think I'm too obsessed with the two. Well today he cut my diabetes medication in half. He cut one pill I was taking about six months after I started lifting again which was about a year and a half ago. Today he reduced the two pills I have been taking to one a day. No Keto or fasting, I just practiced CICO and lifting. I skipped breakfast this morning because of blood work but tonight I'm hitting my favorite Asian buffet!!!

Big difference between obsessed and concerned. We here are all concerned and many don't understand. I think you're diligence should be commended 🙋

Diabetes is a killer. You're doing the right thing even if others are calling it an obsession. Are you type 2? The problem with diabetes is most people don't become proactive and 'obsessed' because doctors are so quick to lean on insulin. Insulin, and even metformin, should be viewed as a tool to help things get sorted out. Not the end all be all lifetime solution to the problem of not bothering to exercise and lean to eat properly as a diabetic. Check out Jason Fung on YouTube. He's doing grounding work in the treatment of diabetes. I'm not diabetic, but it's on my family. I've read a couple of his books. All the best, man.

Congratulations. You are a testament and inspiration. We are responsible for ourselves and sometimes need some structure to achieve our goals. I am heading in the same path as you. I am pre diabetic and have already lost 10 pounds. I visited my doctor and he decided to not put me on meds.

That's fantastic!

Yeah!! Success!!! I am working to get my cholesterol down by logging everything I eat coupled with increased activity/exercise. I am hoping for similar results. Everyone initially telling me I am obsessed and just let the doctor prescribe medicine. Now that I am down 35 lbs they are asking me what app I am using.....
