Diagnosed a few years ago, and given metforminn 500 X 3. Off the rails? I never went on them. The only change I made was to give up smoking. Have basically eaten anything I wanted. I am seriously overweight and have decided to turn my life around before it's too late.
I have been doing the Atkins type diet, with no more than 30g or so of carbs a day. Eating salad and veg to make up the carb quotient.
The lowest I can get my blood sugar is around 11.5 which I know from these boards is way too high. It seems to be lowering by .1 a day. Will it take a long time for it to climb back down to normal levels, given that I have been eating willy nilly for a number of years? I thought the drop in blood sugar would be pretty quick, seeing as I am having very little carbs.
