How many steps should you walk if you have diabetes?
How much exercise should you do if you have diabetes?
Both these questions have a simple answer- I don’t know.
But how much should your HBA1c levels be- for me to say “ YOU HAVE DIABETES!”
Aha, I have an answer - above 6.5%.
But listen - What is this HBA1C? Got ya.
A brilliant thread to understand HBA1c by my Friend Ankush Datar- Follow him.
This is the gold standard test to detect diabetes others being glucose tolerance test and fasting blood glucose.
It gives an idea of your blood glucose control over 3 months.
So if you plan to cheat just before your blood glucose test - this test doesn’t care.
It will give you an actual picture of how strict your diet has been over the past few months.
STORY TIME
I got my blood reports after feb 2023 and found my HBA1C level to be 5.4!
But then I followed it in AUG 2023 and these were the results
HBA1C level - 4.9
That my friend is a massive drop.
But you know me - I haven’t done anything drastic to get this change.
No ayurveda, no supplements.
Proper diet and muscle mass - summing up my last 3 months.
Oh but wait - how can I forget the 300+ kms done in zone 3 over the past 6 months, that too might have contributed , no?
And what is your diet dude- THIS DEMANDS A VIDEO.
I will have this covered in the next release via video.
I have a client who I am currently working with to get down his HBA1C levels and lose weight while building muscle mass.
Update you’ll soon about this.
That’s all for this week.
Keeping this email short.
Get out there and put your body to work.
