Message: <blockquote data-quote="Trinkwasser" data-source="post: 77978" data-attributes="member: 11875">*Personally* I'd be inclined to ask for medication to help get your numbers under control ASAP, you're at the level where "glucose toxicity" means the high BG will tend to keep itself high. After you've gotten under control you could very probably reduce or drop the meds.Metformin would be no bad thing to help reduce insulin resistance (hint: exercise does much the same thing but the two work together synergystically) this needs starting slowly at a low dose and increasing and take time to start work. Possibly even a sulph for starters too.Without the meds you'll probably get there but it will take significantly longer.It's a disease containing a lot of feedback and feedforward loops, the high BG will generate high insulin levels which will cause high eating levels which will cause high BG and breaking out of this loop is what is important right now.</blockquote>
