Taye Baker
Just before Taye Baker turned 16, he was hospitalized with diabetes. Taye had a lethal build-up of ketones in the bloodstream. That leads to the body being unable to produce enough insulin in order to deal with these high levels. Of course, he weighed more than 300 pounds before turning 16, which had a massive impact on his health. However, once he was discharged from the hospital, his mother decided that they needed to make changes together.

He changed his diets and started exercising more, and in just a year, he had lost 118 pounds. He no longer needed to take insulin for his condition, and his confidence started to go up. Baker and his mother discovered that if they wanted things to change, they would have to put in the effort to do it. Taye will have to continue this lifestyle for the rest of his life, and he has no qualms against it now that he’s feeling much happier with himself.
