I started tracking my food again and walking for 30 minutes after every meal. In late July I started lifting again. In October I became an SSOC client. In January I added nutritional counseling.
Today my A1c is steady at 5.8. I weigh 202, injectable insulin is a memory, I take a minimal dose of Metformin and Losartan my waist is under 40” and I have PRs to brag about: 290 lb squat, 140 lb press and 325 lb deadlift; all singles. Not bad for a 63 yr old
