@A DiabetesTeam Member hello I decided in 2021 when I turned 80 and I found a photo of my late mother at 80 years young and she was a late onset Diabetic type 2 and she was in care with Dementia and they had her on a diet suitable for diabetes and she was very slim and looked healthy.
So I decided to get fitter and healthier and I cut out lots of fat and carbs and didn’t eat cake or ice cream and no chips or fatty dips for 2 years and I walked up to 5 kilometres a day and I lost 16 kilos and I had reversed my type 2 diabetes into remission and now my blood sugar tests are usually in the 5s and I’m still walking 2.4 to 3.5 kilometres several times a week. I also reversed my lack of Vitamin b12 which has required a B12 injection every 3 months and at times monthly and I try to eat less fat and have a lot of vegetables in my diet daily.
I’m turning 84 on the 1st November this year and I’m feeling great!?
It’s up to us personally to decide to do something different for our health and wellness
