[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2009979, member: 480869"] Unfortunately your mum is a good example of what happens when a person follows nhs guidance. They get worse over time. If she chose to try low carb it’s perfectly possible but may well need insulin and or other meds reducing as her levels drop to avoid hypos. Medication should match needs not met by diet alone not the other way round! As for you two months really isn’t that long and fasting readings are often the last to respond. And other things have an effect. Are you unwell? under more stress than usual? Testing a bit later in your morning routine than previously? Just half an hour of getting ready makes quite a difference to me. Some people get fantastic drops very quickly. Others (me included) go to more extreme lengths and see slower or less drastic improvement. Maybe we’re just more resistant , maybe we’ve been brewing this condition for longer, maybe it’s some other reason but we get there the scenic route instead of the motorway. I remind myself of all I have achieved and how much worse it could be if I’d done nothing. [/QUOTE]
