"I am taking the lowest dose of insulin ever."

After attending 6 weeks of our comprehensive lifestyle medicine program, a 60 y/o m with type 1 diabetes and known CAD with multiple MIs, said this yesterday.
Over a period of 6 weeks, we provided him with information regarding...
1. Mindfulness and Stress Reduction
2. Social Relations
3. Regular Walking
4. Healthy Eating
5. Adequate Sleep
He is now...
1. Angina free.
2. Off of one medication for BP
3. Has an insulin pump and is needing less insulin than he ever did!
4. At 6.4, his A1C is the lowest on record in ten years.
If a 60 y/o type 1 diabetic can accomplish this, imagine what is possible if we pay attention to making some changes to various aspects of our lifestyle. The best part of his story - "Doc, thank you for introducing me to lentils." 🤣🤣
