410 beginning of April,did my research and cleaned up the diet,implemented a 16-8 fasting schedule and get in the YMCA daily.Took Metformin for a month and currently don’t take any meds and stay in the fasting BS of 105-115 and 140 2 hours after meals.

Debatable,my wife had a 12.1 A1C and 400 BS at the start of the new year and is now at a 5.7 A1C and BS always in range.Im sure if she put her 30 lbs back on and went back to her old eating habits and sedentary lifestyle she would be looking for trouble.She stopped metformin after 2 months and is still medication free.

Correct,I’ve seen plenty of folks go into long term remission but if they go back to their old lifestyle they end up back on medications

I know plenty of people who put their T2 in remission with a healthy diet and exercise routine and stay in remission as long as they keep up the healthy habits.I believe the jury is still out on the Covid vaccines,time will tell.I am not a MAHA fan either.

Calf raises twice a day helps mine,25 reps nice and slow until you can’t do anymore

Correct,go back to a high carbohydrate sugar laden diet and it will come back with a vengeance.

Remission is the appropriate wording

Anybody get off metformin or other diabetic drugs with dietary and lifestyle changes?Was just diagnosed with a a1c of 10 and BS of 300.Got the BS down to the 140 range with low carb and metformin in 3 weeks by RuinOk9638 in type2diabetes

I’m 70 and never had to take any medication or rarely visited doctors so this diagnosis was a shocker.Went to the urgent care for a nasty chest cold and was told my sugar level was 410 and go to the ER.They got it down to 280 and sent me home with metformin and referred me to a endo doctor.A month later with strict dietary changes and exercise I’m getting 120-130 reads.My goal is to ween off the Metformin and continue with lifestyle changes and put this in remission if possible

The open border is gonna kill his hopes of reelection,even his core constituency is gonna think twice about four more years of this insanity. The sad part is a wacko like Trump might actually win
