Over a 2-year period I have got my levels down from 6s and 7s originally, to 4s and 5s by low carbing. I also take Metformin. Since my levels are now usually within the non-diabetic range, I can go no lower! :wink:
Type 2 Diabetes may or may not be a progressive disease, depending on whether you have only insulin resistance or whether your pancreas is failing. Treatment is getting better and better, and if we are diagnosed early, as I was, I think we have a very good chance of slowing any progression by maintaining tight blood glucose control through diet.
Remember that all the figures about Type 2 diabetes come from previous generations. As treatments and control improve, so should the outcomes. But we can't and shouldn't rely on other people to manage it for us. Type 2 diabetes is a condition that depends on the diabetic to manage it. We have to take control for ourselves.
Gosh! What a sermon! :lol: :wink:
