As some of you will know, I have been on quite a journey since Feb 27th this year !And a lot of that journey has involved many miles of walking (and MAF running)
But just wanted to share some good news !
I had an interim assessment with the diabetes clinic yesterday carried out on a telephone appointment.
The result of which was a alteration to my medical records which now show.
Type 2 Diabetis in Remission 😬
It's taken a lot of hard work and dedication but so worth it !
HbA1c now back to normal, so even below the pre diabetic level 😊
Looking at the graph it was a slow 5 year rise , but just a dedicated 5 months to bring it back to normal!
Wow! That is amazing!!! If this doesn't show the power of exercise (and diet change, I presume?) I don't know what. Thank you so much for sharing, Instructor57 , this is very inspiring!
Many thanks , yes, big diet change, regular excercise and lots of determination 😁
That is brilliant news! Well done!!! 👏👏👏🎉😁
Many thanks 🙂🙏
Great news Ian, keep enjoying your walks✔️✔️
Thanks Al, I will .... And the running 🙂
👍
I rarely share pictures of myself for reasons that are probably obvious from the top picture which was taken around 3 years ago !
The bottom picture was 3 days ago !
Nice air fryer 😝😁 looking trim and awesome Ian! Huge well done! What an inspiration 🤗
Haha, thank you 😁
You could be part of an ad campaign for - walking 🥳 That is so awesome!
Haha, the diabetes clinic nurse said I need to come and talk to their patients 😂
Wow you must be so proud of yourself well done, we all know it's possible, not many achieve it 👏👏👏
Thanks Sue , When I'm on a mission, not much will stop me 😁
Well done so pleased for you, your hard slog has been worth i5. Enjoy your walking and running. 😊
Thank you !And yes, absolutely with it .
And strangely enough (or not) my plantar Fasciitis appears to be behaving now
That was my experience with plantar fasciitis... I did "everything" the PT told me - until I got tired of it since the PF didn't seem to improve. And then it got better 🤣 Although I still wiggle my toes before getting out of bed to "wake up my feet"... Maybe it's just something that does get better over time - unless we do something to make it worse...
Yes, I had this situation previously with pf, it came , stuck around about 6 months and the went again .The only similarities I can draw are that both times it has disappeared coincide with significantly less weight 🤔
Wow! That's an amazing achievement! My HbA1c is still coming down really slowly and I hope to repeat your success in the future 👍
Well, great it's heading in the right direction 🙂👍
Great news Ian, so pleased that things are getting better and all your hard work is paying dividends, keep winning at life.
Thank you Peter 🙂Hope you ar doing well?
Excellent news. You must be pleased. Please do share your dietary tips and how long did you walk each day?
Thank you !My dietry tips are simple.
Very low carb, no added sugar, only "Real foods"
If it has a ingredients list I don't eat it 😁
And Intermittent fasting.
Nothing exceptional with the excercise, walking maybe 5000 + steps most days , a little bit of running and gym usually 2x/week.
The most important ingredient in the journey was determination!
Determination! That’s not always easy to find. So well done. You look great 👍
Haha, many thanks 😁
Well done. I’m sure you are very proud of yourself. I’m sure we are all very proud of you too. Great news 👍
Thank you ! 🙂 🙏
Well done Instructor57 ! Such an achievement! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Many thanks 🙂👍
Maybe my weekend walk.
Is anyone still walking?
