That's true. I have been here  a while and I have been type 2 since 2005. I
was on all kinds of pills all  the way up to 2014, in 2014 I was placed on
insulin then after  that  I began with other helpful thingss and ever since
2018 my a1c has been under    7's and continue to get  even better after my
last one which was 6.5.  so I am getting there as well . Its been forums
like this and lots of reading an research , that ai have been able to  get
there.when iwas diagnosed in 2005 my a1c was in the 9 to 11  range and I was
270 pounds , the doctors did not give me a chance.    But after  finding the
right one and have the right attitude and diet I was able to  turn it around
in a  matter of 16 years.   And lost about 40 pounds now at 225 instead of
270  Still need to  do better,  and need to lose  least that last 25  or so
pounds , as I was a big kid growing up,  and so I would like to  get under
200 pounds in the next year or so .
