I made a post here about how I lost 80 lbs and reversed type 2 diabetes. In march of 2023, my A1c was 7.5, and it scared the crap out of me as a 21 year old. I started exercising every day and I started eating less, note-unlike most diabetics, I didn’t cut out carbs. I wanted to see how my body reacted to just exercise and a calorie deficit.
By June of 2023, I had lost 35 lbs and my A1c was down to 5.8! I decided to keep it up, and as of march 10th, 2024, my A1c is now 5.2 and my fasting blood sugar is in the 80s.
I say I REVERSED diabetes because I can now eat a heavy carb meal like spaghetti, or cake and my blood sugar never goes over 120. I show no signs of ever having diabetes even though my 7.5 A1c indicated that I did.
So in my case, weight loss actually did eliminate diabetes. My body uses insulin like everyone else that doesn’t have diabetes. So if you’re diagnosed with it, lose weight and exercise every day.
