Have you read the info for new menbers from [USER=25759]@daisy1[/USER]?You say you have been eating 'sort of low carb'. Can you explain further?Regarding medication, there is no need to believe that Metformin is the start of an ever increasing medication load. People with T2 can come off all meds if they manage to gain and maintain good blood glucose control. If you do need help to control your blood glucose by meds surely that is better than allowing uncontrolled levels that you are aware can be so damaging.Well done on your weight loss.  Unfortunately, though, exercise cannot beat a bad diet, so you really do need to monitor the effect of what your diet on your blood glucose. Your doctor wants you to monitor your blood, hopefully that means doc will have provided a meter and test strips.  You can make good use of these by keeping records of what you eat, and the blood glucose numbers just before eating and at 1 hour and 2 hours after. That way you should be able to see a pattern, and know which foods are to be avoided.Btw, I don't blame you for feeling like ranting, it can be scary, but there is plenty you can do, and there are plenty of good folks here to guide and support.</blockquote>
