Medic taking charge of his life

I am a EMT-P from South Africa, and 6 months ago my HBA1C jumped to a all time high of 11.2 mmol/l honestly because i poorly looked after myself. Weighing in at 105kg with a belly circumference of 130cm. My family Dr wanted to put me on insulin and i knew it wad not the life i wanted to lead at only 49. I came across Dr. E Berg on YouTube and followed a keto diet and taking on exercise. Took me 50 minutes to get to 4km at first. But i kept presing on. Now 6 months later turning 50 my HBA1C has dropped to 6.8 the physician has decreased my oral meds and i am runni g 5k in under 30 minutes, bonus my weight has dropped from 105kg to 78kg and have a belly circumference of 98cm now, thanks to the advice from Dr Berg on YouTube and to mentally taking charge of my life.
