Chris, a Banner|Aetna member, reversed his type 2 diabetes and is back to doing what he loves

I was a mechanic who spent most of my days on my feet, and could be found at the gym at least 3 days a week. Most importantly, I loved to cycle and ride BMX with my daughter. But at the worst point of struggling with type 2 diabetes, I was overweight and couldn’t find the energy or motivation to do anything, even those things I loved. Nothing I tried helped, including multiple prescriptions from my doctor that never did much to bring my blood sugar down to healthy levels. However, Virta gave me a different solution—diabetes reversal by making adjustments to my diet.

I’ve lost over 113 pounds, and brought my A1c down 1.7 points to 5.5%, which is within healthy ranges now. But what means the most to me is just how great I feel, and how much happier I am. My 7-year-old daughter and I try to go to the bike track at least 3 days a week now to race and spend time together. Even in my wildest dreams, I never thought I would be able to do this again at 49 years old. Thanks to Virta, I feel like I’m in my 20s again.
