      For me, it was challenging in the beginning. My A1C was in the double digits.  I started by walking for 30-45 mins during COVID.  I found making small, attainable goals was much more effective and rewarding i.e. lose 5 lbs by my next A1C labs.  Then I began to change completely how and when I ate, focused on understanding the importance of nutritional labels, and began strength training.  I just ran my first Peachtree Road Race in July 2025 (world’s largest 10K) and now my A1c is 5.4.
