Woman, 53 years of age. Type 2 diabetes and is obese. Patient’s daughter was getting married. She was very motivated to lose weight for the wedding and she did. Her A1C lowered from 7.5% to 6.6%. She cut back on her carbs to <100gm/day, increased her activity and took her metformin regularly. She lost 22 pounds over 6 months. The wedding was 2 months ago and she has gained 6 pounds. That may not seem like much, but it was enough to raise her A1C and open her eyes.
