Introductions! New to the forum but not new to keto

Hi all! I’ve been listening to the podcast since last summer and am thinking of going to Ketofest this year, so I thought I’d join the forum, introduce myself, and hopefully get to know a few of you who may be going to Ketofest too.

I’m early 40’s, female, and I’ve been keto for about 6 months. I’ve lost about 40 lbs since being on keto (70 total since my highest weight ever), got my A1C down from about 8 last year to 5.9 last week (I was as high as 12 at one point), have gotten off of 70 units of Lantus (insulin) and either lowered or gone off of several other medications. My cholesterol is now great. I have about another 35 pounds to lose, but my main goal was getting my blood tests in check.

I’ve been somewhat active on the r/keto community on reddit (under a different name) and have been listening to 2KD podcast for months but for some reason am only now getting around to joining this forum.

Looking forward to exploring here and getting to know you!
