[QUOTE="lovinglife, post: 787355, member: 22428"] This is me exactly - as you see in my sig I had a high A1c at diagnosis and feel I probably been undiagnosed for about 4 years. I was on max meds at the start and I have now reduced as far as I can. I did try for a few weeks without gliclizide at all and very low carb and made my diverticulitis worse to the point of avoiding an op by the skin of my teeth and my bs gradually begun to rise and weight gain I am happy to use a small dose of gliclizide that keeps my A1c below 6 along with about 90g carb a day rather than very low carb and a A1c in the high 6s. Sometimes on here I do feel that the impression is given that if you extreme low carb you won't need the meds sadly it's not always the case and we have to decide personally what we are happy with. There is no shame in taking meds if you need them [/QUOTE]
