[QUOTE="kundaliniyogini, post: 1921222, member: 495115"] Hi everyone, I've been lurking around here for a month or so and have found the threads very useful; thank you. I was diagnosed with type 2 about 18 months ago and to cut a long story short refused medication and no longer have a GP. My Uncle, Father, and brother have all died (70, 65 and 34), within the past 12 months of complications of T2 diabetes. They all followed conventional medical advice and all declined quite rapidly hence the fear and mistrust. I have managed to reduce my levels to around 6 mmol/l before meals and 7 mmol/l after by eating lchf, if I eat bread, pasta etc they shoot up to between 9 and 11. My main issue seems to be first thing in the morning when my levels are almost always between 9.5 and 10.5, they remain similar for 3 or 4 hours after breakfast. I know I probably ought to seek out a GP that understands my resistance to current treatment but at present I still can't bring myself to do this. I'm just wondering if there is anyone else out there in a similar position who can give me pointers to alternative solutions or anyone who has changed their GP and found a supportive practice? Thanks :) [/QUOTE]
