Ok forget all that you thought you knew about food and healthy eating. Have a read of the links below this message and learn about low carb eating, why it works and what to eat. It’ll get control of your blood glucose levels and probably reduce if not get you off your meds. And it’s not a diet of deprivation. Meats, cheese, dairy, eggs, and even dark chocolate are all on the menu. But you do have to re-educate your mind and your tastebuds along the way.
Speaking of which with glimeperide you need to take especial care when going low carb. Changing to this way of eating is very effective and quickly. You need to keep an eye on your levels to avoid hypos and have something with you to treat them should they occur. As soon as you see levels approaching normal you need to be seeing your dr to be getting that medication reduced or stopped. Some drs that are supportive of low carb will even take people off this type of med ahead of the changeover. Here’s a link to guidance written by drs for drs advising about this if you need it to take to any appointments. https://bjgp.org/content/69/684/360
