[QUOTE="Lollygaggle, post: 2221515, member: 516577"] I will post and update on my situation. In November I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and put on 1000mg of metformin per day . My hba1c was 85 , and thanks to the advice on this forum I started a high fat ,very low carb diet . I have not eaten bread,grains,rice,pasta, root vegetables , pulses , or anything with sugar in it since the end of October. I have lost four stone , have a bit to go , have upped my exercise considerably and my blood tests today reveal my hba1c to be 38 which is normal , not even prediabetic. The surgery offered to take me off metformin but I have decided to stay on for another 3 months as I want my morning glucose to come down a bit more and make sure my blood glucose levels are stable. Then we will see how things stay once my diabetes is controlled with diet alone. I believe diabetes only goes into remission and am reconciled that I will be "carb intolerant" for the most part for life . Thank you for all the advice and encouragement , I think myself fortunate that my diabetes , at the moment, has responded to lifestyle changes that have not been as difficult as I might have thought.
