[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1442041, member: 355878"] I made the choice to abandon medication, as it was making my life a misery and rely entirely on diet. It is a great incentive to resist temptation - I do eat grapes and strawberries which are over my self imposed limit, and shake my head over my lack of will power, but my drop in Hba1c from 91 to 47 in under 3 months shows just how effective low carb eating is - but I could have gone even lower without straying - can you tell I have one of those A plus type personalities? I can now stop myself from eating the whole box in one go so it isn't too bad, I suppose. The great thing about the low carb diet is that once you are settled on it, the normal response is to feel great - the years fall away, energy returns, all sorts of interests resurface, and it tends to make you feel rather cheerful and optimistic. If it could be converted into a pill then society would benefit greatly. Unfortunately it can't and you just have to knuckle down to the chicken salads and roast meats, the bacon and eggs with mushrooms - and then you go and lose weight as a consequence. I think I'll stick to doing Atkins, despite all the bad publicity. I think that they got it wrong, and Dr A was right all along. [/QUOTE]
