I'm a bit freaked that you stopped all your medication, all at once, and went onto an extreme diet.
I know you have said that you are being monitored by your doc, but if your next test is not for months, then that isn't what I consider sufficient monitoring and medication absence, for such a drastic diet.
I'm very pleased that you have brought your fasting BG down to prediabetic level (not 'normal' level) and I think green smoothies are astonishingly beneficial, and drink them myself. But if I went on that diet I would probably lower my BG significantly - until I introduced other foods again. At this point my BG would rise and reveal that I am still a type 2 diabetic. How do I know? Because I have done it.
Normalising BG on a severe diet is not a cure. It may effect a cure (read up on Newcastle Diet) if you can then eat significant amounts of carbs without your BG rising out of the normal range - and that benefit lasts in the long term.
ALSO could you please confirm that you stopped your medication with the knowledge and consent of your doctor?
If not, you might want to make that clear by editing your original post.

Hi Brunneria
I can understand your shock and surprise,and concern,I had a very good reason to stop the medicines which i mentioned in the post, if i stayed on the medicines i would of died,i had a major blood loss and i never want to go back into that scare again, since i been off the medicines i have been great i feel great, my health is always checked regular by my doctor.I do not advise anyone to stop there medicines or change how they look after them self,I only pointed out i see this as my cure, because it works, i do eat fish chicken i do not erase all foods out my life only those i know affects my health,.. smoothies i have at breakfast and lunch and i have a main meal cooked in evening and my sugars stay low,i have had meals i know is working that is safe,i know the word cure is not what you want to hear me say, I know in my self that when you control a situation that can go out of hand it will control you, you as a person has to get in control of it or it will end you.that is the meaning for me in seeing a cure getting on top of it.
