Walking certainly played a part in this !

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!

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 !

Thank you !And yes, absolutely with it .

And strangely enough (or not) my plantar Fasciitis appears to be behaving now

ChannelRunner22000miles per yearβ€’ in reply toInstructor57

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 πŸ€”

Excellent news. You must be pleased. Please do share your dietary tips and how long did you walk each day?

Instructor57 profile image
Instructor57β€’ in reply topdm66

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!
