[QUOTE="DaveXF, post: 1925520, member: 492680"] Whilst I'm only a T2er, I did a similar thing to you. I thought I'd cracked it a few years back and no longer needed meds. BUT, I hadn't... as I slipped back into the old habits. About 2 months back I had the very same symptoms as you and then some. I rang the Drs etc etc. After (delayed) blood tests etc we found that my BP was horrific and my HBA1c wasn't that great either. After giving myself and almighty b.llking, taking a few meds and getting a grip, I've dropped my daily average numbers ( by using 8 fixed data points on the Libre) by 61% , in 20 days. As much as I will miss the packets of KitKats, cider and naan breads et al...I would miss being able to walk for hours on end, my kids and better half and even driving far more. Guess what?? Except for the very occasional bout of fizzing feet and nerve pain ( I had once one in a delicate area that dropped me to the floor) , the symptoms have gone. I wish you the very best and hope that you're encouraged by all the positive stories on here. [/QUOTE]
