Hi guys,

My son has been speed skating for 8 months. Few days ago in the racing, I noticed his right ankle was pronated while pushing. Is this normal?

If this is not normal and makes the performance poor, is it due to improper skate size, posture, muscles...etc? I am afraid that the pronation will cause injury in the long term. How can we correct this?

Hi Guys,

I brought my HbA1c down from 12.3 to 8.1 in about a year without any medication — only lifestyle changes (balanced diet, aerobic exercise, bodyweight training)

Timeline:

Jun 2025: 12.3
Oct 2025: 8.7
Feb 2026: 8.5
Apr 2026: 8.1

I would appreciate if I can get some feedback from people here:

1. Is this considered a good progress?
2. How common is this level of improvement without medication?
3. Any advice for getting from 8.1 down to <7 or even into the normal range?

I’m also curious about people’s experiences with how far lifestyle intervention alone can realistically go.

I know 8.1 is still high....still working on it to see how it can be improved without medication.:)
