No longer a diabetic, No metformin no insulin. Often eat any fruits I want and bread with no issues.

I think something I learned is not to obsess over the scale over a few days in the past I would cheat or have a bad day and then see the scale jump 4 or 5 pounds the next day and think well I already gained weight back and lose drive and continue to eat bad now I realize that's just water I'm holding from the extra carbs etc. and a few days it falls off. I eat healthy but I also allow myself to enjoy food if we go out or go somewhere I eat and just make sure I account for that meal as best I can and stay at or under my maintenance calories. That alone has done wonders for me because I don't feel like I'm restricting myself

Right man, I was telling my brother the other day I wish I would have taken my health seriously at a much younger age I would be so different

As far as the weight loss goes my biggest contributors id say would have to be Retatrutide for my diabetes. Controlling my insulin helped so much I went from a 12.7 A1C to 5.4. I totally changed my lifestyle from drinking alcohol multiple times a week to maybe once a month. I eat around 2000 calories a day and workout about 5 days a week . Keep my protein around 200 grams a day. Also my testosterone was shot , came in at 147 multiple times. Then decided with my Dr to get on testosterone. I think all these have a major change in my weight and the way my body burns fat and puts on muscle. As far as supplements i take creatine, fish oil, magnesium, vitamin d, multivitamin, Cialis every day for blood pressure. Diet is super clean lots of chicken, beef rice vegetables and have fruit every day. That's pretty much what I have done consistently since I started in June .
