Congrats!!!! Hopefully my story will help out ... I spent over a week in ICU because I was in DKA when I found out I had diabetes. I spent a year giving myself shots and weighed about what you did. Once I lost about 60-75 pounds, my A1C became normal(low side of normal) so I came off the shots without going on the pills. It has been seven or eight years now that I have controlled diabetes with diet alone. In all fairness my family's type two tends to the hypoglycemic side so my biggest struggle since losing weight was keeping my blood sugar levels up. I go everywhere with a bottle of apple juice.

Dude that helps a ton, my family has everything and I've seen people decline rapidly at a certain age when health problems began to accumulate, in may, I felt like I was on that path so decided to try and lose weight, with that as motivation, I've been trying, great side effect, my pecker got bigger :)

I do hope you turn out to be hypo, not hyperglycemic, because it is easier to manage. This is anecdotal and my endocrinologist presented it as such, but almost always your battle will track closely with how well you control your cholesterol. None in my diabetes class had normal levels/ratios. Also losing the weight made my pecker bigger too ... I am about ten pounds away from it being an outie. :whistle:
