A person lost 21 pounds and dropped their A1C from 9.2 to 6.1 through stretching and diet changes, low enough that their doctor stopped their blood-pressure medication. They went from struggling to put on socks to having full mobility and energy.
No, I was, I was not as energetic as I am now. Lower back was tight. The, the, my front hips were not in alignment. I don't know, lifting up your foot to put your sock on was definitely more difficult than it is today. That is until you start stretching and you realize, I didn't know I was supposed to be able to move like this. The fact that I could put on my pants without breathing in, you know, because I wasn't used to eating so much food. And then after that, it, the weight literally just fell off. And I was eating like a pig. I was like, wow, I ate that much food and I still lost weight. I just walk into my closet, wear whatever I want, and everything's too big, but I've got the energy to get through the whole day. My blood pressure was creeping up beyond the capability of my meds to control. Was my A1C had jumped up way high, over 9. I think it was 9.2. The biggest drop was my A1C. It dropped down to like 6.1. So now I'm under that threshold of the 7. My internist took me off of some blood pressure medication. I had other physicians tell me that if I maintain that level, diabetes will have no effect on my life at all. Yeah, my doctor's incredibly impressed with what I did. You feel like a free person again.
