Hi
I joined this forum back in early July as I was having problems with my control.
I was advised to try lo-carb, I did this and last Friday I went to my first clinic in a year.
My weight had dropped from 95 kg to 90kg, according to my scales this loss happened in the last 3 months or so.
my blood pressure went from 147/80 to 144/82.
Kidneys test from 28 to negative.
HbA1c from 9.7 to 6.6
These are the only figures I was given.
I was told to keep doing whatever it was I was doing to get the improvement.
I said I was low carbing and was told 'Fair enough, keep an eye out for hypos'.
This was from a young oriental lady (young to me anyway) and she seemed happy enough with the results to not worry about the low carbs.
Not the reaction I was expecting, the last time I told them I was low carbing I was told not to do that as its dangerous and medically unsound.
I'm type 2 and have been for about 18 years, on metformin 2000mg, Minodiab 20mg, Ramipril 2.5 mg, Simvastatin 40 mg and Avandia 8 mg all per day.
Thanks from a happy bunny
