[QUOTE="ziggy_w, post: 2261344, member: 323454"] Hi [USER=524045]@Faar23[/USER], Keeping my fingers crossed that you'll find some dishes which will work for you and your husband. As to your question -- when I was first diagnosed, my GP put me on the maximum dosis of metformin, He also intimated that I would probably have to go on insulin with blood sugar levels as high as mine. After switching to low carb, blood sugars were normal after three months. After another three month and another HbA1c in the normal range, my GP halved the dosis of metformin and took me off this medication altogether after another six months. Today, I have been off all medication for four years and still keep seeing normal blood sugars while being on low carb/keto. Plus there have been a number of other benefits such as lower blood pressure, weight loss and better cholesterol numbers. Honestly, I don't think there is any reason to expect that your husband shouldn't be similarly successful if he changes his way of eating. [/QUOTE]
