Type 2 Ain't My Type!

A few years ago, I was staring down some brutal numbers: A1C 11.7, blood sugars in the 400s, weight over 220 pounds, a dangerous path I didn’t want to be on. Like many, I was told by doctors that Type 2 diabetes was “permanent,” something I’d have to “manage” forever with medication and lifestyle change (diet and exercise). So, I took the pills (Metformin, Glipizide) and eventually the insulin (that was zero fun), and I “managed”. But the years rolled by, and instead of improving, my health actually worsened. There was something missing.

I realized I wasn’t just at risk of losing my toes, my vision, or my kidneys, I was heading for an early, ugly death. The real turning point came when I accepted that what was missing wasn’t more medication, but a real change in how I lived. Out of desperation, I made a commitment to completely overhaul what I ate, when I ate, and how I treated my body. I decided it was time to fight back! My way.

This book is my raw, unfiltered story straight from the trenches and told with honesty. I’M NOT A DOCTOR or a guru. I didn’t stumble onto a miracle cure or some “secret” the experts won’t tell you. I’m just a guy who got sick and tired of being sick and tired, so I became relentless in finding a better way. My search took me everywhere: Youtube, the library, prayer, internet forums, and everywhere in between until the scattered pieces came together and started working.

Inside, you’ll learn exactly how I:

Dropped my A1C from 11.7 to 6.0 and got off medication for good.

Turned fasting (16/8, 20-hour, and even 48-hour) into my ultimate weapon.

Built real strength and lost fat with nothing but walking, body weight exercises, and perseverance.

Transformed my eating into what I call “Kinda Vegan, Kinda Not”-a plan anyone can make their own.

Got more than just better numbers: I gained focus, energy, emotional stability, and a life worth living.

This isn’t a sugarcoated guide (pun intended). It’s not easy and it won’t always be pretty. But my story is proof: with discipline, real effort, and the right plan, you can truly change your life forever. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or years into your struggle, this book is the real-world roadmap I wish I’d had when I started. This is my true story of Divorcing Type 2 Diabetes, using food (the right kind), fasting (at least 16 hours a day), and (purposeful) movement.
