I have reduced my portion sizes, sugar intake (can't seem to avoid it altogether), severely limit my carbs (100g or so daily) and I exercise at LEAST 1/2 hr daily. I've seen my fasting go down almost 20 points in less than a month (along with 15+ lbs of weight). For that I'm grateful.

I should just keep on doin' what I'm doin' and relax and have some of my favorite foods/drinks once in a while and not worry so much. As long as my yearly blood tests come out in the normal range, I guess I'm doing as good as I can hope to and will have to deal with whatever happens in the future when and IF it happens.
If the general population did this, the world would be a much happier place.

One thing I'm sure of: if you do progress, you'll have little to no trouble with complications. There's people walking around with blood like maple syrup that don't take it as seriously as you do/will. This is a thumbs up.
