My journey began in March 2023. I had just been to the doctor and was told that I was diabetic and I had blood work done, my A1C came back at 12, a normal person‘s A1C is about a 5.6. My doctor told me that if I didn’t do something to lose weight that essentially I was going to die. Of course I’ve been trying to lose weight for years but because I was insulin resistant and diabetic, I just could never do it. When I started checking my sugars regularly, that’s when I realized how important it was that I made life changing choices so that I could lose weight because anytime that I checked my sugar, it was never lower than 400.
That’s when a friend of mine suggested for me to go and check this place out. Of course I had heard of all of the GLP-1s but I never really looked into them or spoken to anyone about starting them.
Between March 2023 And June 2024 I am very happy and very proud to say that I no longer have to take insulin on a daily basis, my A1C is a 5.7, and I have lost a total of 60 pounds!
I am so thankful for Kayla and Heather, because even when there were times when I didn’t lose more than a pound or a half a pound they still celebrated and made sure that I understood that that was still an accomplishment.
Choosing to make this life choice has been the best decision I have ever made and if I could’ve done it by myself, I would have but due to pre-existing medical conditions, it just wasn’t possible. I had done every diet that there was counting calories keto diet watching my carb intake, cutting soda and bread out of my diet but nothing ever worked. I just wanna show that it’s OK to ask for help, especially whenever it comes to saving your own life.
