[QUOTE="Grateful, post: 1615792, member: 438800"] I agree with [USER=277199]@kokhongw[/USER]. It is something that should be coordinated with your doctor and it is good that you are seeing him (or her) about this. If, for example, you are cutting carbohydrates (and I know that you have been working on this) then I suggest you ask your doctor if you could be reducing drugs at the same time. If you have been making good progress in reducing your HbA1c recently, then your doctor may agree that it is a good idea to try reducing drugs. It is great that you are doing sport but "replacing" diabetes drugs with sport is not necessarily a valid approach (diet is the main factor). Edited to add: In the studies I have seen, exercise [I]does[/I] help lower blood glucose levels but much less than diet. [/QUOTE]
