Re: Keeping Type 2 Diabetes in remission in 2025

Thanks for the fast reply, Rider. If you’re happy, then you’re okay. I don’t know the apple fitness system, but keep it up if it works for you. And I understand that some positions are not possible for you, but you wouldn’t want injuries either, I think. As rowing is very repetitive, form is import...

Re: Before & After

Thank you all. Rowing has been a key part of it for me. I continue to do 4-6 hours a week. This is the last one I filmed on Saturday.

Re: Before & After

Super impressed. A couple questions: 1) how tall are you? 2) did you get injured at all over the past yr? 3) how are you managing the 10-12 hrs/wk of exercise on your body both injury wise and fatigue wise? I am doing 5-6 hrs a week, 51 yrs old, down 10 kg with at least 15 to go, so your example is...

Re: This week’s training diary to fight T2D and weight…

It helps to burn the glucose directly and transport it into the muscles without insulin. Reducing carbohydrates in the diet helps also much for T2D and overweight, as the hormonal reaction of the body to food changes and hunger is controlled in a better way. Yep. Well I have come down from an all t...
