I actually meant you could have had control before insulin if he had understood testing and other methods of control beyond medication.
Hello again HSSS
Before I started the LCHF programme I used to base my meals around CARBS as that was the NHS recommendation - consequently I ended up on Insulin.
The LCHF diet recommends cheese and full cream milk, plenty of meat and fats. So for breakfast I ate Bacom & Eggs with one slice of bread - lovely! I would snack on cheese and avoided all fruits (I got problems with constipation).
Next I got Prostate Cancer and was told by the "Specialist" to avoid red meat; avoid cheese & milk; - eat plenty of FRUIT; snack on GRAPES and BANANAS; eat OILY FISH and CHICKEN & TURKEY; eat loads of KAYLE and other GREENS.
After having 37 doses of Radiotherapy and following the "Specialists" diet my PSA has come down to 9.75 I still need to get it down to 6.5 or less. After that I can return to my LCHF diet and reduce my fruit intake.
Life was easier when I just had Type 2 Diabetes, Neuroputhy, and Arthritis; but when you add another medical problem into the mix, such as Prostate Cancer, you have to adjust your Diet and exercise.
Some ladies on this Forum have MULTIPLE problems - thankfully I have just a few.
