That's a good anecdote from Labrat- the diet described would be difficult to stick to, so I think it's a good example for Bakariah to avoid. Also, no red meat but unlimited fruit looks like the opposite of what you want for best results. LCHF is easy to maintain and has lots of successful testimonials. I personally reversed my T2 with a kind of Low-Carb, Limited -fat diet that I put together before really knowing what LCHF was, but now I've learned about LCHF, it's basically the same thing.There's a book published in the USA that claims that it's' author and others, have reversed their type 2 diabetes. This seems to be achieved by vigorous excercise routines and drastic dieting. All red meat is banned, and only white meat and oily fish is allowed. Unlimited fruit and veg is the apparent basis of this regime. All the cabbage you can eat, raw or cooked etc. I tried it for a while. True, I lost half a stone. Also true ... total exhaustion on a permanent basis and the boredom of the regime won in the end. The book was £47 plus £20 postage from the USA, and this would suggest that the obvious winner would be the author. Your choice. I've retired now, and my blood pressure today was 109 / 80. With a heart rate of 76, one Metformin a day must be doing ok. I'm sticking to that.
Lower carb / healthy fat / vegan here. Have been in the non-diabetic range for over 3 years. The Diabetes Police might argue I am not in remission as I take two metformin a day, so I won't say that just in case. It's just a label anyway. As long as I am happy and healthy, that's what matters.

I don't take metformin because I fancy the taste lol Doc says it offers some cardiovascular protection so I am happy to take it given my family historyAmen to that. A little
Of what you fancy does you good.
This is why I always tell my nurse how I have achieved my results. I don't want her thinking metformin tabs are magic beans!Oh yes, I forgot about them.
I guess I can't be reversed either, as I'm still on 500mg of Meformin.
(Must be a wonder drug if it's responsible for my normal BG readings though)
