Diabetes checkup - goals achieved!

[Lucky_Fixed34]

Just had my quarterly doctor's appointment. I'm 53, 5'5". A1C is now 5.0! Doc is taking me off metformin and reducing my blood pressure meds to a quarter of the dose. All my blood work is perfect. He wants me to only lose another 5 lbs max and then we'll lower the Mounjaro dosage for maintenance. I need to up my cardio and add some strength work.

Wow, you look fantastic! You look like you are in your late 30s, tops! Congrats on all the progress!

Incredible transformation! Congrats on your success!

Great job! I'm in my late 60s and have type 2 diabetes. I only needed to drop about 45 lbs. My BMI is now healthy and my A1C is great. Your success is awesome. Keep up the great work and congrats!

Absolutely amazing. You look like a different person!

You look decades younger after the weight loss. Amazing job!

What was your total weight loss, and what was the most effective diet for you?

 

[Lucky_Fixed34]

I've lost a total of 120 pounds. I didn't really follow any specific diet, just focused on making healthier choices and listening to my body's hunger cues. I also rewarded myself when I hit milestones. Like a new pair of shoes for every 20 pounds lost!

 

[A1C_Survivor]

That's a great idea about rewarding your milestones! I'm going to try that. I'm down 40lbs myself on sema, A1c is down to 5.4. Feeling fantastic. It took me about 6 months.

That's a great idea about rewarding your milestones!

I love thisss. I'm gonna start doing that! New workout outfit after the first 10 lbs!
