After turning 40, I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic. My primary care physician  wanted to start me on metformin; I also saw my endocrinologist, who concurred that unless I got my A1C levels to a normal level, starting diabetic medications was “inevitable” given my extensive family history of diabetes. I requested 6 months to try a lifestyle change. My doctors agreed but advised me that if my labs remained unchanged at the next follow-up I would be starting Metformin. With Amy’s guidance, I’ve been able to consistently exercise 4 times a week and clean up my diet. Amy keeps me accountable, which helps me immensely with staying on track. When I went back for my 6 month follow up my endocrinologist excitedly told me that my labs were “awesome” and I was no longer considered pre-diabetic. My A1c levels went from 5.9 to 5.7!  I know that Amy played an integral role in making this happen. Without her it would have been impossible to find the discipline to get healthier.
