  EXCELLENT! Great evidence-based advice all in one place. Your videos have already helped me move my A1C from 6.1 to 5.8. After I watched your video on CGM, I wore one for a month. The impact of walking right after a meal was astounding. I now walk after every meal, keep carb intake to 60-80 per day with vegetables and protein the main focus. And since I am a thin older woman have been working on muscle building through hand weight, squats, etc. This video confirmed these practices and has increased my motivation to keep it up. Thank you.

  I came from a place of regular exercise and a largely Med Diet. I was about 180lbs at 5’10”. Still I was showing symptoms of insulin resistance(most of my family has issues).<br>Went to a 7 hour eating window and low carb of 50-75 grams per day. Instead lots of eggs, meat, dairy like yogurt and cheese. Nuts, some berries and salad and cruciferous vegetables. Eliminated seed oils, sugar and starch.<br>Dropped 20 pounds of belly fat in 2 months. Almost never hungry, feel good, and all parameters are improving.

  I became insulin resistant and didn&apos;t realize it. My fasting glucose was high but my A1C was 5.0 so I didn&apos;t worry about it. It wasn&apos;t until my A1C spiked to 5.5 that my doctor sounded the alarm. But I was wrecking my kidneys with spikes in my blood sugar. Sometimes I was really active and sometimes not. I was over weight sometimes and sometimes not. My job is sedentary.<br><br>I think part of my issue was inflammation. I&apos;m sensitive to gluten and dairy which gave me loose stool for a long time. The inflammation, I believe, caused geographic tongue, rashes when hiking, cramping in my calves during running, and Hoshimoto&apos;s. Eventually leading to insulin resistance and kidney disease.<br><br>So, now I eat low carb, eat within 6 to 8 hours, I get up every 45 minutes and do free standing squats or push ups or planks, etc. Then I go for walks after lunch. I need to start lifting weights and such, but I&apos;m off to a good start. My glucose doesn&apos;t spike too much anymore, normally I keep it under 110 sometime it goes up to 120s if I eat an apple, which I normally don&apos;t, but I just love apples and peanut butter. My fasting glucose now comes down to the 80s instead of the high 90s. And I lost over 30 lbs, just 20 lbs to go!

  I am already a type 2 diabetic. Been that way since more than 10 years ago. It has been a struggle and low carb really is the real way to eat… i have been doing a lot of zone 2 running for the past 2 months. It has helped me a lot. I am 44 years old now.

  It is amazing how it all circles back to eating right and exercising. &nbsp;No magic pill, no magic bullet. &nbsp;Just eat right and exercise. &nbsp;Monitoring is key and discipline is imperative. &nbsp;You can still have some junk once in a while as long as it is not your &quot;crack&quot;. &nbsp;My dad was an alcoholic and he beat it. &nbsp;He always said he would love to be able to have a drink with his boys, but if he has one, he wants them all. &nbsp;Alcohol was no longer an option for him. &nbsp;Junk food is that for many. &nbsp;In that case, just stay away from it.
