julia.endo said:4 in 8 months is not that straightforward in my experience
This is exactly right. julia.endo articulated what I have been trying to explain to my doctor for months. The A1C from 9.2 to 5.4 in 8 aspect is the most important factor.
Reading this thread on A1C from 9.2 to 5.4 in 8 hits close to home. Night shift nurse — I started at 283 lbs and felt like I would tried everything.
9 months on tirz and I am a different person. Not just the 58 lbs lost — my energy, my mood, my relationship with food. All transformed.
If you are on the fence about A1C from 9.2 to 5.4 — take the leap. It was the best health decision I have ever made. ❤️
