Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Royjk" data-source="post: 2759877" data-attributes="member: 594724">So I was put on insulin before Christmas because my A1c was at 103.I found out about this forum at just about the same time.Here It was suggested that one answer to control of diabetes T2 was to go on a low carb diet. The thinking was no sugar going in will mean low BG levels and a reduced A1c. I was a bit skeptical about the diet because it meant a drastic change in my eating habits, and I did like bread and chips, but I wanted to move my blood test result into the green. So I cut out anything with high carbs. The results are surprising, A1c is now 36, and BG tests are now in the green. I do not miss the food I used to eat. Doctor says I am now within normal person non diabetic BG level, all of which is very good.There is just one small problem now, of course I can feel it when BG drops to below 3.8 with the finger blood tests.So I don't want to add in carbs to bring BG up, and I am satisfied with my insulin dosing controlling BG.What is the next step for control, how will I minimise hypo's?</blockquote>
