[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 633162, member: 88961"] Douglas, I'm not sure what point you are trying to make there. I don't want to rain on your BBQ, but returning your numbers to non-diabetic ranges whilst continuing to take Metformin and Sitagliptin surely couldn't be any comparator to anyone considering a reversal or "cure". Of course, it's none of my business, but it does concern me that you are abusing your pancreas, if you are eating sometimes significantly higher carbs whilst taking a drug to stimulate insulin production. Forgive me if I misunderstand Sitagliptin's purpose. A few months ago, I had a conversation with one of the few people with whom I shared my diagnosis. Coincidentally, her daughter is a research scientist whose last large piece of work was developing such a medication. When my friend told her I had been diagnosed, she voiced concern about taking such drugs because of the potential to burn the organ out, due to feeling of false security, and the message she sent to me was to avoid them, in a plague like manner, if I had any other options. When I read of your carb-fests it concerns me, on that basis. I take my hat off to those brave enough to push the envelope further than I have. Thus far, I have rarely been in a situation where could not eat, and I have spent most of my diagnosed life in third world countries, including on dive boats, and socialising with carb-loving Americans. That you find yourself "forced" to eat pot noodle or pasties when, by your own example, out diving is merely a lack of consideration for your own well-being. That probably reads quite angry, but I can't deny I am a bit. I hope your confidence doesn't come back and bite your derrière any time soon. I apologise to anyone else taking this class of drug. I had deliberately not shared this before today, but I'm afraid it's out there now. [/QUOTE]
