A1C 10.5 to 5.4 in 3 months!

I am a type 2 and was originally diagnosed with a 7.something A1C. I knew I had a family history and asked for the check back in 2014. Since then I generally hovered in the 6-8 range until my March 2020 test. I had lost control with an A1C of 10.5. I was not following my metformin regimen like I should, had low magnesium levels, and was consuming pizza, baked goods, normal soda, etc.

Between March and June I started paying more attention to my carbs, avoiding regular soda, adding more fiber to my diet, taking 1000mg of metformin twice a day and started taking 25mg of Glyxambi once a day. I also started a magnesium and chromium supplement. I went from 296 pounds to 275 (I'm 6'1"). Today my A1C test was 5.4! The only modification my doctor and I are making from here is to reduce metformin to 1000mg once before bed. I still have Taco Bell about twice a week and Zaxby's once a week, 100+ carb meals but all other meals are kept well below 70 net (sometimes near 0 like steak and green beans).

Anyway I had to share, today was great day :)
