My experience is similar really, I'm lucky I don't seem to be plagued by dawn phenomenon or liver dumps. I'm disappointed these days with a waking BG that isn't low 4s or high 3s. As for overall control, I'm down from a Hb1AC of 10.9 to 5.3 in just 6 months, with no meds, so a low carb diet certainly works for me.
Those are great numbers Doczoc even lower than my 'on rising' fasting levels and I'm still on metformin for the time being at least. Your HbA1c dropped faster than mine too but same level now both a superb 5.3% - I'm going for my next one tomorrow interested to see what that will be. 4% Club maybe - but I don't think that it will be that low.
How did you effect your improvement? Have you posted your story? Mine's here if you haven't seen it before:

People keep saying that we are all different. However, I'm coming to the conclusion that most of us Type 2s are very similar indeed.
Personally, I wasn't consciously following a low-carb diet during the course of my improvement. I was eating a very low-fat, wholefood diet but also calorie counting to lose weight. It was only later that realised that it was the fact that I'd cut out a lot of the carbohydrate because of the calorie counting and that had been a big factor on improving my diabetic control. I only found my way to these forums after I had made most of my improvement. That's when the penny dropped as to what had been happening!
Stick at it!
