[QUOTE="Art Of Flowers, post: 1477064, member: 375067"] This seems to be common experience from people who have been suffering high blood sugars for years following poor diet advice from their GPs. It does appear that most people with type 2 can get their blood glucose down to non-diabetic levels within 6-9 months on a LCHF diet and lose a lot of excess weight as a bonus. Those who are really enthusiastic can do it in as little as three months if they go very low carb and do intermittent fasting. It may be possible to get to non-diabetic levels using other methods, but you don't see many examples of this in the Success Stories and Testimonials Section. Most success seems via LCHF. Testing only causes anxiety if your treatment of diabetes isn't working properly. Unfortunately most people who just take pills to treat type 2 diabetes wont see much of an improvement and measuring blood sugars for them may make them anxious and depressed. The answer, of course, is to change your diet to lower blood glucose and having a glucose meter can help verify this and help fine tune your diet to best effect. [/QUOTE]
