And also thanks to my doctor and Metformin of course. (Also, blood-pressure and cholesterol are both normal)
With all the positive sharing of information and great tips and ideas I honestly feel these two subreddits deserve some credit too. As you can see by my weight chart, I had a little setback but didn't lose my resolve and powered through it.
Keto has made managing my blood-glucose levels so easy. I was consistently in the high 300s with the SAD way of eating.
But if I ever felt discouraged or tempted to cheat on my diet, I always knew I could come into these two subs and find the reinforcement I needed.
I have 50 years of bad habits to overcome, but honestly I can eat this way forever and not feel that I'm missing anything. I'm 5'10 so my target weight is around 180 lbs and with the help of these two subreddits, I see that as perfectly achievable.
My doctor is optimistic that I can slowly wean off the meds if I keep this up and that diabetic remission is possible for me.
Again, thanks to the members of /r/diabetes and /r/keto for likely helping add years to my life!
