[QUOTE="NoCrbs4Me, post: 861309, member: 113206"] [SIZE=4]I ask whether your doctor was surprised because since I was diagnosed I have been in contact with quite a few nurses, doctors, and pharmacists and they all seem to have been trained that type 2 gets progressively worse and definitely does not get better. They were all (pleasantly) surprised that I had gotten my blood glucose levels to normal values and gotten off metformin. I seem to be an exception to what they see with their other patients. As for my diet, right after I was diagnosed I lost weight with a low calorie/high carb/low fat "healthy" plate diet for about the first 6 months, then I got a blood glucose meter and almost immediately significantly reduced my carbs. I then gradually reduced even more until I had completely eliminated sugar, grains, rice and starchy veg. Now I'm starting to add a bit of sweet potatoes back in, since they don't seem to spike my blood glucose much. My dietary plan now is pretty straightforward: eat nutrient dense, whole foods and avoid factory processed "food".[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
