I was diagnosed with type 2 a year ago. Since then I have gone to a high fat, high protein low car diet. I also train at the gym 5 days per week. Lots of weights, cardio HIITS training and swimming. I'm doing about 6 hrs of high intensity workouts a week. My HBa1c is down to about 6.0%. BP is excellent at 120/70, given up smoking...the only issue is on paper, I look like a couch potato as I have stacked on so much muscle my BMI has gone from 36 to 39.8 while losing 3 inches round my waist.
