[QUOTE="AM1874, post: 1399186, member: 379847"] Hi [USER=311809]@engie1967[/USER] .. welcome As others have said, managing and controlling your diabetes through exercise, diet and testing - with or without medication - seems to be the best way forward. For me, committing to an LCHF lifestyle and testing 3-5 times a day, seems to be working .. I have lost almost a stone since my diagnosis on Feb 7th and my BG levels are down from 12.5 to around 6.
