A little bit about my journey over the last year to get my A1C under control. The changes I have made are working and I do not plan to go back to my old ways.

Great video. I was able to get my A1C down below 5.6 with a plant-based way of eating. Triking keeps the weight off. I'm 78

I enjoyed following you on your ride this morning. I just purchased a TerraTrike E. V. O in January and glad the Michigan weather has allowed me to get out and ride. I asked a comment on an earlier video of yours when I was thinking about buying a trike. My balance has become an issue and thought this might help me continue riding. Your answer was very helpful. Thank you. We'll be in your area a few days for the "big event" as my brother and sister-in-law live in Kenton. If i see you on the road I'll give you a shout. Congrats on your weight loss and ride safe. 🙂

I am glad I was able to help. Questions are welcome here anytime. We want to be able to help each other out. That is cool about being in Kenton soon. I take it is for the eclipse thing. There is Marion Tall Grass trail on the Marion/Hardin county line. East of Kenton. That would be great to give a shout. Thanks about the weight loss. Doing good.

Your audio is outstanding! And I love your story! I was diagnosed as diabetic a little over two years ago, fortunately on a routine doctor visit and not response to an issue. Since then I have been on oral meds. I recently started a program through work and have dropped two of the three oral meds, and counting down! And I love riding recumbents and trikes too.

That's awesome! Keep up the good work. Going plant-based with no oil. No dairy, no meat, no eggs, no animal products of any kind was extremely hard but it has become so worth it. I feel so much better all the time.

Keep up those great ride and talk sessions. I like it. Are you a veteran? Just wondering, because a lot of conditions can be traced back to active duty. A lot of my health conditions that have rendered me disabled are service connected. I couldn't believe it, but have the records to prove it. Most people aren't doctors and can't really figure that out by themselves.
@OhioBikeRiderАй бұрын
No, I'm not a veteran. I think the US diet has a lot to do with our health processed food and sugar. I think there's a lot of things at play with our health. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I have had a little time for it right now. We have been caring for my stepfather. He went in a nursing home and he has now passed. Hopefully next year I will have more time for riding. You. Have a great day!

Hello Ohio Bike Rider from Lancaster County, Pa. Great job at reducing your weight by 80 lbs. with diet and exercise. I'm a fellow recumbent trike rider (Disabled) and Type 2 diabetic and my wife is a Type 1 diabetic. We both watch our carbohydrate intake. I also wear a Libre 3 and take the following diabetic medications - Metformin, Ozempic, Tresiba, and Fiasp. Take care and... Keep on Triking!

Way to go, Ohio Bike Rider, on your diet and exercise. I ride an HP Gekko and really liked watching your video. You sure have some great camera gear. We have lots of deer here in rural Indiana. Tracks in the snow right up to our back door. I suppose they're disappointed I don't answer at 3 am and give them some food. Thanks for sharing your adventure.🙂

Great video. I'm from Rushsylvania Ohio in logan county. I'm 50 and was diagnosed with young-onset parkinson's disease at 40. I've been looking at recumbent trike for exercise. We have lots of big hills but we do have flat places to ride but still have some hills. How much effort you need with out having electric assistant.

Hello, I don't live too far from you. I live in Hardin county, Dunkirk, Ohio. Worked at Morton Billings for nearly 30 years. I know some folks that live down in your area. Lue Neal comes to mind I watched one of your videos you resemble him. As far as how hard it is to pedal if you're not in a hurry. It's not a problem. You can go as faster or as slow as you want and there's plenty of gearing and like anything, the more you do it the easier it is. And you don't have to worry about falling over and I get more respect from drivers on it than I did when I rode two wheeled bike. I am on Facebook if you want to message and talk more Greg isen

That's great if you can get to Columbus Ohio to bicycle one we will let you ride both of them he'll adjust the bike so you can do it they're very helpful. If you do tell him I sent you I've been in there a few times now. I really like the expedition. The 559 is very nice. It folds and has suspension cost more. You could afford it. It is a really nice option. It's nice to get on the different ones and check them out and they will adjust them to fit you.
