Happiest of Father’s Day!! I wanted to share how this community has touched lives who may not be on the app. Here is my dad. I am honored to be his daughter for many reasons. Last January, I joined this community and we completed the 2023 kick off challenge. I learned so much in the process. I gained strength in the shared posts and amazing friendships. I won a 2-week CGM that month and started sharing my findings. Long story short, Dad received his first Dexcom CGM mid-March 2023. He had T2 diabetes for over 20 years and was on numerous medications for it and BP. He slapped that CGM on and hasn’t looked back!! His latest A1C … 5.2 and he is off meds. He is down 128+ lbs and has successfully treated prostate cancer with hormone therapy. He’ll tell ya how the CGM feedback played such a huge role in his success and continued success. Not just the food aspect, but the feedback for sleep, stress, and doing chores like irrigating the yard (he was fasted, was out working the irrigation ditch, and saw his BG spike … so, learning how exercise can bump it and why). He has utilized IF+LC+CGM and it is working wonders for him! I am so stinking proud of him and he continues to keep me inspired to stay the course. He sends us kids his notes and photos of his results and that smiley gets me every single time. Safe to say I know where I got my urge to track things from (my Exercise Accountability board folks will get that one lol). I also want to add, my mother is also down 70lbs! So proud of her, too!! They have done this together! ❤️❤️❤️ Very proud to say, I am my mother and father’s daughter. Thank you, Tro, Tro Team, and TH Community for being the awesome people you are! Touching so many lives!
