[QUOTE="Cookie02392, post: 1242648, member: 272893"] I've managed, since February 2016 to go from a high BG of 20+ down to a regular 4.5-7MMOL, depending on fasting/eating. My GP is astounded by my HBA1C results (30) and is more than happy to reduce my Metformin from 2000Mg a day to 1000Mg a day, with a view to further reductions in 4-6 months. Perhaps i'm lucky, I made lifestyle changes, made dietary changes (low carb, low calorie, low sugar, low salt - but not exactly LCHF) - swapped Beer/Cider for Red Wine, and cut the Takeaways, Pizza and other rubbish, for a more simple, Salad + Meat (chicken/Beef) based diet. Chocolate is Lindt Dark, and in small amounts, and pretty much cut out Potato, Rice, and Pasta. Wont work for everyone, but i can control things, occasionally want Chips, but i avoid that by getting Tesco Sweet Potato Fries instead. Not eaten a Potato in 6 months, no Crisps, No Junk. The most i allow is a pork Pie, but only the meat bit, everything else goes in the bin :) I'm not perfect, i don't always stick to the rules, and i do "Punish" myself when i have been bad, but it's working.
