[QUOTE="Annb, post: 2558902, member: 25851"] For some people OMAD can help to get into remission, I doubt if, alone, it will do the job, but I could be wrong there. However, it doesn't work for everyone. No two people are the same or react the same way to treatment or diets. The only way to find out is to try, testing as you go and see if you can get to a BG level that you are happy with and then see if it is possible to reduce meds and how far. It seems that you are including quite a lot of carbohydrate in your diet (particularly "thick mealie porridge" but also millet) which won't be helping to get your BG down. Meat and fish as well as eggs and some cheeses are good for keeping BG low, or at least avoiding too many spikes. Salads and non starchy vegetables are good as well, if you can take them. Fluids are important so it's a good idea to have a strategy to encourage you to drink, even a little at a time, to try to keep yourself hydrated (we are 90% water, after all). It can also help you with any pangs of hunger. [/QUOTE]
