AndadorArnoth Posted December 30, 2013 Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 I'm 31 and was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes about 4 years ago. After my initial diagnosis I got into running, completed a couple half marathons, and was able to get my A1C number down to just above 6 (good). In the last year it has jumped back up above 9. I know some of the problem is beyond my control so know that I am doing everything under the supervision of a good physician and we are making needed adjustments to my medication. However I need to own up that some of the problem is on me, while I've kept a solid workout schedule (mostly running, boxing, and circuit strength training) I haven't watched the diet as closely as I should. All that said, my biggest goal is to get the A1C back down to 6. With that in mind, I have always found that having some performance goals helps a lot, so some of my potential side quests would be: Do 30 chin-ups (current max is 21)21 min 5k (current pr is 21:17, which I did almost 2 years ago, these days I'm closer to 23 min)Looking forward to starting my first challenge on Jan 6!
