Blaine A Dunning|My Journey

In July of 2020 I woke up and couldn't walk without losing my balance and went to the hospital. My blood sugar was 350 and my A1c was 9.7 and I weighed 302lbs. I've been heavy all of my adult life, I just made the decision lying in the hospital that I needed to change. I went home, found a new primary doctor and started watching nutrition and health videos on YouTube. Dr. Berg was one of the first I came across and have watched most of his videos. I went more just low carb, cutting the carbs and eating primarily meat in my diet. My new doctor put me on diabetes medicine and blood pressure medicine. I made it my goal after watching and listening to all the videos to lose my weight and get off all prescription meds. I had lost around thirty pounds by September, that is when I started exercising. In late Nov. I was now down 50lbs my blood sugar was 85 and my A1c was 5.2. Last month my blood sugar was 77 with no meds and my A1c is 4.9, my weight was 195. My weight as of this morning is 185 and I've not been this weight since high school 30+ years ago. I got covid at the beginning of this month, I did get pneumonia but nothing else and recovered quickly. I have no doubt making the changes to my diet and exercising allowed me to recover quickly. Thank You Dr. Berg for helping me with your videos and weekly Q &A, You helped me get where I am.
