[QUOTE="KWCOO, post: 24622, member: 10510"] I suggest you to take daily dosis of ALPHA LIPOIC - even if you have swallow problems - I believe its always good to try to see if you can totally come of the meds. I used to be on 12UNITS 24 hour insulin and 3 Gloucophage tablets 500mg per (my readings was then 6.8 average). I have now exercised 6 months 20 mins per day on a stepmachine and lost 14 kilos - Im 1.87 and still weight 99 kilos - so not even close to my ideal weight even lost this much. BUT - what has happened is that I can now "exists" on 1 daily Gloucophage tablet only - after dinner - and here it comes; - my readings was first 6 and now 5.6 on an average (1 month) - so down to when I was on all the meds. Im a true believer in turning back time with this decease - back to before I some 11 years ago (diagnosed T2 1 year ago) started having this decease inside me. By turning back time and living with no added sugar intake and getting in shape, Im sure one can beat this decease. I believe that if you change your metabolism and your burning the insulin a T2 still produces is enough to keep the system low on sugar. Loosing all that weight has for sure helped me to get down on meds. If the Alpha Lipoics has got any impact is unwise to predict about - I dont think we quite yet know enough about this - but somehow its helping me to say goodbye to Gloucophage tablets....and thats the way I persume we all would like to see it go.
