New here..Was diagnosed 4 weeks ago as type 2. Was 119kgs..now 117kgs. Metformin 2x daily x 2 tabs(500mg) and Glicazide (2 x daily) were issued by the doctor . Sick for a week and half..felt like vomiting some times/ crook gut feeling / constant, sudden runs to bathroom "trots" ! Initially at 14.5 mmog/l . Dumped drugs 2 weeks so far..changed diet..minimal carbs and introduced 1 hours exercise morning plus night. Now around 8 to 8.5 mmog/l . Fallen off diet a few times as still adjusting...blows out when do. Last night was 19.5 mmog/l after sweet dessert & hamburger ---just had to see how it happens ---but dropped to 8 mmog/l after 1 hours exercise. Note my exercise is a light use of a waterrower machine. Last 2 years basically no or little exercise..but have strong legs due to prior mountain hiking from 3 years ago. Doctor steaming angry that i refuse the medication..however my concluding is the only real answer is weight loss under low carb diet. Interested in others views. I note that i see here other people have found weight loss the big driver to reversal.FYI- I am in late 40's
