Down 50, A1c great!

Lifestyle adjustment including diet and exercise is key!

How long did that take you?

Amazing!!

How long did that take you?

About 18 months to drop the weight and get my A1c to 5.4. It's been a journey!

That's really inspiring. I've been on a similar path, diagnosed T2D last year and started a GLP-1. My doc put me on it right away. I've totally revamped my eating habits, back to a lower carb approach like when I had gestational diabetes. So far, so good!

That's great to hear, Taylor37! Diabetes control is always the top priority. Weight loss is just an added benefit in many cases. Some people can achieve remission with weight loss, while others with a strong family history may always need some form of medication.

I went from an A1c in the mid 7s to the mid 4s. Dropped over 100 pounds in about two years and was finally taken off my GLP-1 about a month ago. Feels good!

Congrats on getting off the meds, SnackSet! Did you notice any hair thinning from the rapid weight loss?

 

[ProteinSet]

I did notice some hair changes, goal-weight-or-bust. It's starting to come back in stronger now, though. I'm also doing weight training which I think helps with the overall body composition.
