[QUOTE="IanD, post: 1823355, member: 6186"] Looking at my footnote - Type 2 in 2000, 3x500 metformin, reduced carb diet HBA Jan 08 - 6.7, July 09 - 6.2, January 10 - 5.9, October 12 - 6.3 No diabetic complications. My HbA1c has drifted up over the 10 years & steadied at 6.7. My average readings - fasting/before/after meals were [B]7.3[/B] at the end of April. I then reduced my carbs towards keto & the average is now [B]6.9[/B]. My interest in keto is for my 5 y-o granddaughter Ava who is suffering from epilepsy. Her parents think she is also suffering from side effects of powerful medication. The hospital at last is advising a keto diet for her. It seems that the dietitians are seeking to maintain strict control & advise against trying it without their strict supervision. Parents have been aware of the diet for months - not just from me - but a non-keto diet is the typical high carb/sugar, low fat diet that is bad for everyone. I think the sustained use of a near keto diet by members of this forum offers a massive database of constructive experience that would be relevant to its use for epilepsy. [/QUOTE]
