[QUOTE="NewTD2, post: 1615440, member: 439634"] Hi Dave, I have had very similar experience to yours. I had Diabetic Ketoacidosis last 22 Sept 2017 and nearly died at the hospital. Diagnosed Type 2. Unfortunately I was discharged the next day and left alone completely without any help or advice from my GP or hospital for 6 weeks post discharge. How careless and irresponsible of some in the NHS! About 7 weeks later I received a call from the Diaberic Nurse to see me. She tested my blood glucose and tested very high at 11.8% and Ketones at 1.5! Any BG levels above 8% is considered dangerous. I was immediately put on once daily injections of 14 units of insulin and within just “one week” my blood glucose levels went down from 11.8% to between 5-6%. I trust God will help and cure me. Will have my A1c test mid December and hopefully when my blood glucose levels settle down, will start titrating insulin down and slowly taking metformin. Also been eating almost zero carb except for 1 slice of brown whole meal bread for lunch, a small piece of lean protein (chicken, fish) and plenty of steamed vegetables, salad. I’m losing weight and intend to do so. I strongly suggest to register with the low carb program - lots of valuable stuff how to manage diabetes! You just need to be disciplined, patient and determined and you’ll get there! Go low carb - high fat to bring your blood glucose levels down! Andrew [/QUOTE]
