The Shock He Didn’t See Coming
In 2021, Bam was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes – and it came as a total shock. He was so shaken up that he sat in the car for an hour just processing the new information before he could drive home.
For a few years, Bam struggled with his A1c. He was always looking up information about managing diabetes and trying to apply it to his life, but he wasn’t achieving the results he wanted. At some point along the way, through a string of suggested YouTube videos on reversing diabetes, he found a video from the Mastering Diabetes channel.
Finding His Way Forward
It didn’t take long for him to join the coaching program here. Bam resonated with what he was learning and he was optimistic about giving it a try.
The lifestyle of the Mastering Diabetes Method was a big change for him. He had never eaten plant-based meals before, so he expected it to be a difficult transition – but he found it wasn’t difficult at all!
Bam looked through all the recipes he could find, and picked out a few that looked good to him based on what he already knew he enjoyed. He was right about those recipes, and in time he found a good rotation of meals that he loves – he sticks to those, and he’s always happy! He says the food is just as tasty and satisfying as what he was eating before, it’s just different.
Working with a coach was really helpful for Bam. The daily accountability made a huge difference in his ability to stick to the choices and hardwire new habits. He also got a lot out of the group coaching calls. He learned a lot from what the other people in the program shared from their experiences, and felt a sense of community to be on the same journey together. Getting to see what worked for them, or how they handled certain challenges, helped him to feel more prepared and find his own way with it all.
Breaking Through the A1c Plateau
How did it go? The numbers speak for themselves.
When Bam joined the Mastering Diabetes coaching program, his A1c was 7.7%. Two months later, it was 6.8%. His latest test result is 6.3%. After working hard for years when the number wouldn’t budge no matter what he tried, he is thrilled with these results.
Header | Before | After (5 Months) |
|---|---|---|
A1c (%) | 7.7 | 6.3 |
Weight (lbs) | 205 | 190 |
Medication | Metformin | None |
He also lost 15 pounds – which was an unexpected bonus as weight loss wasn’t his primary goal and he was still eating as much as he wanted – and has more energy than before. He feels more stamina and strength when he is playing soccer, and he is excited about that.
Bam also no longer takes any medication.
Will This Work For You, Too?
Bam says, “Just try it!” He likes to keep things simple. His method is to simply find what works for you and then rinse and repeat – find the recipes you like, find the tools that are most effective, find what feels and tastes good, and then just keep repeating that.
Bam is grateful that he found something he can count on to feel confident doing for his body. If you are looking for a solution that works consistently, he says, this is the method for you.
