[QUOTE="rowan, post: 869450, member: 85095"] I saw my own GP today for the first time since January when she told me I should be on insulin, and I started my lchf journey. She was very pleased with what I've achieved since and definitely don't need insulin now :) BG has gone down to near normal, I've lost 2 stone, and my kidney function has stayed the same for the last few weeks, eGFR 28, which is great after the rapid drop that started in January! I asked why all the complications I've had recently, kidney failure, lots of foot problems, low blood pressure, breathlessness etc started in the last few months, just as my BG starting coming down and she said that I'd been living on the brink for so long it was lucky I took control when I did. I've been left with some complications, but said that if I hadn't sorted myself out so quickly I probably wouldn't be here now, or at the very least I'd be on dialysis already! :eek: So yes, I'm still alive and doing relatively well, so on the whole I think it's a success story! I've got to have an echocardiagram becasue of the breathlessness, and I've still got to have weekly blood tests on the renal teams orders, but I'm ok with that, I know I'm not out of the woods yet! Next one is next Tuesday when I'll have another A1C as well And I've got to see my doctor again on Friday and she said I'll probably have a reduction in my diabetic meds :) [/QUOTE]
