Type 2 diabetic age-group Triathlete. Went to Dr. for 6 mo. check up March 2017. Weight 219.8 lbs. A1C was up to 6.4 (normally under 6), still ok by published standards for diabetics, but not for me. Dr. asked if I wanted meds. I said no, I know what I need to do. Started Ketogenic diet April 1st and continue my Tri training. 8/7/2017 - Next appt end of Sept/1st of Oct. Expect A1C to be around 5. Daily carbs have not exceeded 50 gpd since April 1st, usually are between 20 to 30 gpd. Weight is down to 187 lbs. That is a lot less to pull up hills on my bike. Weight is starting to taper and loss slowing down.
