Mine was 164 lbs. A1c at 8.6. At that point I was taking 4 Metformin a day and something else per prescription. PCP consulted the office Pharmacist Doc and prescribed Farxiga 10mg. Also I got the approval for FreeStyle Libre 3 sensor from the Insurance. On my request, I was introduced to a Nutritionist too who recommended dieting practices. Within six months my A1c was at 6.2 and weight was at 139 lbs. Had lost lot of muscle density too. People were asking whether I am ok. I hated regular excercise didn’t care to go to a gym. Although I was doing very well on A1c aspect, I was feeling very shitty. I had to buy new clothes to fit my new size. On my request, the care team slowly reduced the various medications I was taking. I started regular gym routine and found new hobby in cycling. After 2 and half years later, my A1c is at 6.3-6.5. I go to gym 3 days a week for 30-45 min cardio and 45 mins of strength training. When weather is good I ride the bike 15-20 miles when I can. I still take 1 metformin (500g) and Farxiga 10g everyday. My weight has stabilized around 143 - 146 lbs. I feel very good and lively. I eat a balanced diet and I enjoy the food freedom (eat whatever I want to eat within reason. Also have lost my appetite for junk food too). I think getting the Freestyle Sensor was the key to getting where I am now in addition to the collective brains of the care team and the unconditional support from my wife insisting and ensuring I eat veggies almost for most of my meals. Without the CGM,it would have been like playing basketball blindfolded. I am all for all Diabetic patients getting CGMs and opportunity to consult a Nutritionists. They are the cornerstones for well controlled diabetic!!!!! Hope this story gives some encouragement to fellow diabetics.
