40, diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes last year. I eat well most of the time, try to work out at least five days a week. Running/biking/2x2 beach volleyball for cardio. I've really upped my weight lifting in recent months after reading more and more that it is more beneficial than cardio on the body's glucose levels. I saw an author describe the only benefit of yoga is you get better at yoga, and it rang true to me, at least from a physical standpoint. I don't waste my time with it.
Trying to reverse that diabetes diagnosis, and think I can do it without meds.
I have certain tiers of dietary restrictions based on weight and morning fasting glucose. Due to some complications (residual effect from the holiday season, getting lax on the restrictions, the hospice/funeral trips for my mom) much of January, I reinacted them and have not had alcohol, red meat, between meal snacks, nor have I eaten out in February. I hit the seven days in a row below weight and glucose target this morning to life some of those restrictions, but like how I feel so am going to keep that going for a bit. No sugar free substitutes or anything like that, just portion control and moderation with stricter controls in place when I feel things spiraling.
