      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.

        This guide is very helpful. For me, it is important to come prepared with questions for my PCP. Fortunately, my PCP is good about answering all of my questions during my appointments and being very responsive in the patient portal.

          I have struggled for years with my A1C.  Going from double digits during COVID, now at 5.4! It’s all a work in progress. Gotta stay focused

              With all of my hardwork, sweat, and determination, I have lost about 75 lbs since COVID. Planning to run my first Publix Atlanta Half Marathon on 3/1/26. #SmallVictoriesMatter
