[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2383648, member: 372717"] I wonder what you mean by good control? I realise T1 and T2 are not the same but as a T1 for 51 years my consultant has (possibly rashly) assured me that I'm not going to lose limbs, eyesight, kidneys etc.... I feel that the more normal I keep my blood sugar then the less likely I am to get future serious complications, and so they are, at least to a certain extent, under my control. My 90 year old dad has had T2 for over a decade and has a number of health issues, none obviously connected to diabetes. Low carbing has allowed him to drop his T2 meds (gliclazide). So no, I am a firm believer in controlling your diabetes, whichever type it is, to maintain good health. Health issues happen, whether or not you have diabetes. Controlling your levels will reduce, minimise or even eliminate the diabetic ones. [/QUOTE]
