That's great! Does the exercise change each day?

The exercise is about one hour, 30 minutes of walking to the gym and back, 30 minutes in two different equipment each day, try to increase the heart rate at least by 20 % during the exercise. I do not use weight because of muscle pain.

I consider HbA1C and cholesterol are under control for my age!, as my finding I work towards a higher number to what the system says, only time will tell.

I also would say it depends on person and the pancreases. But after 225 units of insulin now I take none and no diabetes meds, but monitor my readings 3 to 4 times a day eat low carb diet and exercise. My A1c is at 6.8 and fatty liver & fibrosis is reversing !!!!
