Ditto here. For years I had been battling high A1c readings and ballooning weight--all to no avail.
Since I began riding my bike in earnest last summer, my A1C is down to 6 and I have dropped 50 pounds.
A reading of 500 is super high and it can lead to serious and potentially life-ending results.
Please track your BG and work to lower those numbers. Diabetes is an insidious disease. You can feel fine for years and then all of the sudden things take a turn for the worst.
I watched my own Mom die at a relatively young age due to complications from years of poorly controlled diabetes.
Don't let it happen to you...
