I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diebetic late in Aug 07.  My numbers were sooooooo bad.....Trigs were "1952"......yes 1952.........stroke candidate.  Sugar was 425 and all the other "numbers" were bad as well.  Today my Trigs are 92, Sugar is consistiantly around 95 and I have cut my medication in half in less than three months.......getting ready to off of it all together as the doctors can't believe how quickly I have changed my body and health

I have done it by eating the right foods and exercise (weights and cardio).  My blood pressure, HDL and LDL are all in the normal ranges again which has not happened for 10 years. 

My goal is to get totally off the supid dietbetic medication with diet and exercise.  Pisses me off that I have to be on that crap.  I have hit a plateau at this point (losing 60 lbs) with my weight but still losing inches. I am feeling great........looking better and stronger......and changing my life around. 

I will not let my body decide my destiny........my mind will do that for me. 

KEEP THE FAITH BROTHERS AND SISTERS !!
