Hello

I have mostly been lurking, but following posts. I was diagnosed type 2 diabetes years ago (at least 5) but my dr seemed satisfied that my A1C was under 6%. - with metformin and januvia. So, I did not take it very seriously.

I would read posts on low carb and think, that’s too hard.

Finally, a friend convinced me to give keto a try. I remembered what I had read here and figured it was a great idea.

I am in a program called Virta. They explain it easy to understand directions.

I am off Januvia, my fasting glucose was 96 mg/dL. I can’t find the converter right now, but that is great for me. I think I may be able to reduce metformin next.

Thank you all for leading the way.

Well done on your improvements.. many of us are big fans of the Virta approach so good to hear that you have had success with it too.
