Can I take credit for improvements?

[FatVegas]

Last September I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I started taking Glipizide 5mg in the am along with meds for blood pressure. I also made major life style changes. I exercise an hour a day five days a week now. I eat extremely heathy. I lost 30 lbs. I'm sleeping again. I changed jobs. I'm still very overweight, but all my numbers are now in the normal range or close to it. I am wondering if the improvement in my numbers (ie blood glucose, blood pressure, cholesterol) are due to the meds or the life style changes that I have made?

Hi,

I would bet that the lifestyle changes you have made are the main factors in  normalising your numbers.

Keep up the good work.  Kudos to you!  You are definitely on the right track.

Congratulations, it takes a lot of effort to achieve what you are achieving.  But truely worthwhile for your health.!
