I beat it
11 years ago
Strict adherent to the tenets of "Lilyisim".
I embarked upon a weight loss and exercise, mostly weight loss, plan in January of 2013. As of, officially via my doctor, August 2014 I am no longer a type two diabetic.
I noticed that I did not need my metformin around February, but did not stop taking it until March. I tested my blood-sugar off and on, getting low results all the time until I just stopped. Knowing my body, and knowing that I just did not need the pills.
Well a full blood workup was done on me last week. The results came in, and it is official, I do not need medication to regulate my blood sugar. It is in the normal range on its own. I still cannot just eat what I want, but I have to work hard to maintain my healthy lifestyle.
The drop of eighty pounds from 329 to 250 really did it for me. I will post pictures of my new self at some point. But my journey is not over, I have to still work on losing more weight, and I still need to put on more muscle.
But this journal is mostly to let what few watchers I have know that I am working on a short story, and this will actually be published here. Not sure when I will be done with said story, as I have many projects, but I do intend to post more here in the foreseeable future.
