After being diagnosed with several health issues, Tammy found the keto diet and got her husband on board to try it. This is their story:
Keto for life...literally!
I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, fatty liver and high blood pressure in June 2015. My HbA1c was 8.0 at the time. I immediately started reading anything I could find about diabetes. I started LCHF a couple of weeks later. When I went back for my three-month visit with the doctor I had dropped my HbA1c to 5.1! I did not use medications, just changed my eating lifestyle.
My husband and I have lost around 90 lbs (40 kg) between the two of us and regained our health. I am now 52 years old and obtained certifications to coach ketogenic and LCHF eating.

That's great Tammy and Steve! Congratulations. Dropping in A1c from 8 to 5.1 is amazingly good, and should drastically improve the chances of a long and healthy life.
Best,
