[QUOTE="whompa73, post: 429330, member: 79538"] Basically got into it through this forum and because my bgs were very high hba1c 102 and I think if it had been taken earlyer perhaps a month it would have been higher than that . But after a friend tested mte and my bg was 24.9 (only second time I had used a meter) it scared me silly and my mate said he thought with the bgs I was getting I was likely to be going on insulin . I decided that was not an option as I would have lost my licence , my job , my flat. Insulin is not an option so I went drastic with the low carb. And it has worked to the greater extent well along with metformin. But to be fair not sure how long I will be able to stick to it as I said when I started th at I was only realy doing it to get bgs down and dont realy think what I am doing is healthy in the long term but as a counceller I'm sure you can apreciate how fear can drive us . And I do think I have gotten to the stage where I am very apprehensive about re introduceing carbs into my diet . I guess I will just have to see where things take me? [/QUOTE]
