I was diagnosed the first part of November last year. I was a bit overweight, but nothing huge, but I ate whatever I wanted to for quite a few years. I worked hard (yard work and things like that) probably 4 days a week. I am here to tell you, yard work isn't the same as getting your heart rate up. I'm embarrassed to say this, but at the time of my diagnosis may A1C was 15 and my glucose was nearly 500. I was told there is no explanation as to why I didn't have a heart attack or stroke. I immediately started insulin shots along with the Metformin that I had taken for a few years. Taking shots everyday for the rest of my life didn't seem too appealing to me. I was told by more that one person that used insulin, that once you started, there was no getting off of it. I immediately started cutting carbs and sugars and started walking 2 - 4 miles every single day. Long story short, I stopped insulin about 2 weeks before Christmas last year and this past July was taken completely off Metformin. Move more is the most important thing you can do. It's amazing how exercise and a healthy diet can change the way that you feel! Btw...I'm 63 years old. I apologize for the long comment...
My strategy as a T2D was to cut back on carbs a lot. Then after doing that for about 3 months I slowly introduced more carbs again. I totally ignore the ADA, they just want you to stay diabetic for life.
Over the past week, I have made a significant effort to hit 10,000 steps a day. I’ve also added in some stair climbing and light weights for my upper body. The effect is immediate. My insulin sensitivity has clearly gone up because I’m going hypo after almost every meal now! I’m still trying to dial in my new bolus doses and I:C ratio.

You Tube why am I seeing Diabetes Comments on this Trump Hosts A Town Hall With Gov Sarah Sanders in Flint? I have noted this one other time too. I have just come off something on Diabetes I was watching for ideas for my husband. This is weird.

Thank you for sharing your story
I recently started practicing mindfulness. It's difficult to grasp at first but it makes a huge difference in controlling mental stress.
Hello Christel, look forward to your videos. Ty for continuing to help both types of diabetes!
Thank you for watching 🙂
Very good vídeo.
I would add a 5th hint to the list....drink water ...at least 1.5 lt a day.
Thanks for what you do.

Glad that worked for you

Madam,, I tried but my glucose level remains 150 aroynd if eat or not ?? Why
You might be insulin deficient. If that’s the case (and only a blood test can confirm this) you’ll need medication to lower your blood sugars

Good sleep = no alcohol, read a paperback book before bed, exercise daily, magnesium supplement, eat 2-4 hours before bed
Plus natural morning sunlight.
Ridiculous
