I'm a practicing pharmacist who was diagnosed with T2DM ~3 years ago with an A1C of 11. I was able to reduce that to an A1C of 7.4 over 2 years with insulin. My wife and I started LCHF 11 months ago and from DAY ONE my blood glucose normalized (I wear a Dexcom CGM). I stopped both long-acting and short-acting insulin within 2 weeks of starting LCHF. My A1C was 5.7 two months later and it has remained in the high 4's/low 5's ever since. I have never experienced an out-of-range level since day one. This experience has been life-changing! I have lost 70 pounds in 11 months. Both my wife and I are losing weight and inches. I now educate family, friends, and patients about the LCHF lifestyle and look forward to being even a stronger voice in this movement. I also have 10 years of grassroots federal advocacy experience in the pharmacy field and plan on using that to trumpet the LCHF message as well.
