I was told I was type 2 about 2 years ago. I was 36 and weighed about 240 pounds the heaviest I had every been. My daily fasting number was 188-200

Now, I am 195 pounds and my daily fasting number is 116-120. I did through diet and exercise. I stopped bread, soda, bought low sugar soy milk, major meal changes. I also started to exercise by buying a home gym.

This has also helped my wife. We now work out together.

At 195 pounds my dr still says I am overweight (although I don't look it) and next wants me under 180.

If anyone wants advice on how I adjusted my meals, ask. I am not perfect, but I have experience.
