Yes, I started with an A1c of 9.9% and by following the low carb lifestyle was able to reduce my A1c to 5.6%, then 5.4% in the first 9 months or so, which is in the non-diabetic range. At the beginning of my second year, my fasting glucose was 125 mg/dl (6.9 mmol/l). By the beginning of my third year, my fasting glucose is now 110 mg/dl (6.1 mmol/l).
I still have severe insulin resistance. If I eat an "off plan" food that is higher in carbs, I can easily have a glucose level of 200 mg/dl (11.1 mmol/l), but I can also knock it back down to normal levels with a 20 minute walk.
My diabetes journey began 35 years ago with hypoglycemia, then gestational diabetes, then pre-diabetes, then type 2 diabetes beginning 12 years ago, so I anticipate continued improvement over the next few years. I am still 40 pounds heavier than my lean body weight, so if I lose that weight, more may be possible.
The good news is that I continue to enjoy gradual improvements.
I also take nutritional supplements to insure that my body has everything it needs as it continues to heal. Vitamins D3 and K2, and the minerals zinc and magnesium have been particularly important for me. Adding selenium brought my heart rate down from 100 beats per minute to 70 - 80, which has been huge for me because I also have a condition called subclinical
hyperthyroid. I take other supplements too, and I eat lots of leafy greens and/or vegetables at every meal in addition to healthy sources of protein and fat, both from animals and plants.
You've come to the right place if you're looking for guidance and support in putting your diabetes in remission. Go for it!
Oops, forgot to add, I chose not to take medications or inject insulin because I know I wouldn't have worked as hard to get my glucose levels down if I took them. That's just me. We have to each do what works best for us.
