Meet Scott
I'd introduce him, but Scott really does it better himself! He's been a One Drop Ambassador for several months, inspiring the whole community with every moment he logs.
Read Scott's Ambassador bio below!
Are you a recently diagnosed T2D (Type 2 Diabetic)? You are not alone! I was diagnosed in early 2017. My A1c was 11.6, and my Doctor recommended insulin right away. Having a long family history of diabetes, I chose a different path - diet, exercise, and limited oral meds. After less than 6 months, my meds were reduced (and might get eliminated!), my A1c was 5.5, and I even got off a longstanding medication for hypertension. I'm here to tell you, you CAN get things under control! The first step is knowing your numbers. The next step is getting informed - the CDEs at One Drop are AWESOME for that. And then you need to start making some changes - eat smarter, get moving, and measure your BG frequently.
More about Scott's story
Scott joined One Drop at a recent event at Stanford Med, where he shared his story in greater detail through a recorded Skype video call. Many thanks to Scott for helping us share his wonderful story and spread the news about One Drop. (Spoiler: He's now off all the meds!)
