| I was eating like you before I knew what I had and I had a whopping A1C. I never took metaformin after diagnosis even though my doctor suggested it. I was active and did a lot of right thing and some wrong things.
Going medicine free means you do have to stay vigilent. It also means good control not tight control. I am happy with a number that some would gasp at. But this is a long distance race. Who care who's leading in the early laps, it's how you finish. Five years now with no medicine and people tell me I look younger than I did before.
We are all different and we have to decide what road we will follow and deal with the consequences. I am hoping that I made the right choice for me. That forgoing pills now means I am not on insulin in the future, That I never burn out my pancreas because I pushed it too much when I was younger. Like how some of the hard bodied youths who exercised all the time become some of the fattest slobs as they get older and the moderate person now looks better
