Continuing with my low carb diet and at the six month mark my HbA1c was 5.5 percent at the lab test. I did go off Glimepiride for two weeks to determine its impact. It's my opinion the small amount I was on helped with BG control by ten percent. I was high fat / low carb for two months at...

By, the way, that is quite an impressive weight loss. Can you elaborate on that? Particularly since most of that loss must have occurred without exercise. Has exercise accelerated the weight loss? Were you impacted by the diabetes / hunger cycle in the build up? I have noticed a reduction...

Yes.

Yes, apologies. My profile was in error and I have changed it. I am type 2.

Sorry, mistake in my profile. I am type 2 and I changed that. Thanks for alerting me.

Oh, I am type 2 ... will change that now. That was a mistake. Sorry about that.

That is a combination of a multi-vitamin and a B complex, plus E and Fish Oil separately. All combined, per month probably no more than $10 per month.

The test was delivered by UPS from Amazon. Very easy. I tried to link but being new to the boards the link was blocked. I read the Amazon reviews before I selected a test. They are about $22 USD each. I return to the doctor in a month but I wanted to know how to tweak what I was doing for...

Hello, I have been voraciously reading this site for the last sixty days and learned so much, so thank you. I was stunned but realize I must have had this for roughly two years in retrospect, based on symptoms. I feel so stupid. Sixty days ago I was advised I had diabetes with an HBa1c of...
