I have only ever had one HbA1C reading in the diabetic range- because of this site.Before my diagnosis I counted calories all the time- yes tedious and exhausting but I didn't know any better.When I was first diagnosed I had a bit of a meltdown (well actually huge one) as I love carbs and couldn't imagine life without them. I went keto pretty much immediately as I wanted results fast- I'm not really that patient. I got the results fast so it paid off. For me- like others above, the joy of keto is the lack of counting. I pretty much only eat things with minimal carbs. So not tedious. I struggle with keto from time to time and want to eat carbs- very quickly I return to the ease of not counting carbs by basically not eating any.I want to avoid medication as long as possible. That may not be forever. For me at this time the choice that works for me is keto and no medication and no counting. But that's because this works for me at the moment. However, the really important thing for me is that everyone chooses what works for them and their life but keeps the levels under control. If medication and not counting carbs works for you- go for it. The most important thing is managing your blood glucose levels- the method is much less important.</blockquote>
