Marcia was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in June 2017 at the age of 50-something, and both her parents and grandparents died of diabetes-related complications. With the help of diaTribe and Adam Brown's book, Bright Spot & Landmines, Marcia discovered that type 2 diabetes can be put into remission with lifestyle changes. Over the next 7 months, Marcia worked to reverse her diabetes through a low-carb, healthy fat way of eating as well as with regular exercise. Along the way, she lost 45 pounds and found that she no longer suffered from sleep apnea and fibromyalgia. Marcia has maintained her weight loss for a year and had an A1C of 4.9 at her last checkup. She wants other people with type 2 diabetes to know that they, too, can put their diabetes into remission.
