My name is Dwayne, and at the beginning of 2024, I received a life-changing diagnosis of type 2 diabetes after battling various health complications like sleep apnea, hypertension, and erectile dysfunction. At that time, my weight was 247 lbs. and my A1C level was 7.2. This marked a turning point in my life as I made a decision to prioritize my health and well-being.

Determined to take control of my health, I opted for a holistic approach to managing my condition. I embraced a 16/8 fasting schedule, incorporated regular exercise into my routine, and adopted a low-carbohydrate lifestyle. This comprehensive approach was aimed at improving my overall health and managing my diabetes effectively.

Through my dedication and commitment to making positive changes, I have made significant progress on my health journey. By June 2024, I had successfully shed 50 lbs., a remarkable achievement that showcased hard work and perseverance. Additionally, my A1C level has improved to 5.7, reflecting better management of my diabetes and overall health.

My story is a testament to the power of determination, lifestyle modifications, and a proactive approach to health. By prioritizing self-care, making informed choices, and staying consistent with my health goals, I have achieved remarkable results and transformed my life for the better. I hope my success serves as an inspiration to others facing similar health challenges, demonstrating that positive change is possible with dedication and a holistic approach to well-being.
