Yes the glifozine medication and Metformin which really doesn't do much. Whiskey at night which has no carbs.

Low carb such as from diet doctor. Mince, cheese, skim milk, mozzarella, ricotta etc, no more then 7 carbs per hundred. Blood glucose levels about 9-11 mm/l

How did you actually do this? Did you fast? Was it just low carb and exercise?

Hi, my blood sugar is quite high lately, around 9-11. It does go down a little after exercise. I have been on Metformin and one of the glyflozins but it's still not in the ideal range. My doctor has hinted that insulin may be needed in the future but don't want to take it cause it raises...
