I know a few type2 posters who have fought with 7s, especially on a morning (old fbg threads 2015-2016).
Some decided to take advice from their dn after raised hba1c. Some didn't and decided to go down the no meds route.
We are all different but ultimately we have diabetes or reversed diabetes, for life.
So luckily any decision can be revised due to regular diabetes appointments. Or in uk the gp is just an appointment away.
Self management is what the nhs encourages. In fact there isn't enough funds for one-2-one daily care.
Some has to be done yourself, which includes deciding what treatment, if any works for you.
Which will always be an individual choice after receiving nhs advice and guidance.
In my experience a type2 stopping a sulphonylrea which has been medical advised would risk
higher bgs on stopping it, not hypos.
In fact your risk of hypos are less by not taking sulphonylreas. Also these meds force your pancreas to create
more insulin and if you're highly IR like me and produce too much insulin already then to reduce insulin production, reducing or stopping sulphonylrea is noted by dr bernstein as a step in the right direction and as it risks burning out the pancreas' s cells and risking type1-like diabetes, which currrently cannot be reversed or put in remission. He's book message, not mine. I'm no diabetes dr.
Only the OPs gp knows what he/she would advise
@hichamgsm about his decision once he explains why.
Ultimately thou hichamgsm has decided he wants to get off meds and feels confident to try
and see for himself how well his diabetes is now behaving after revising his diet.
Who are we to diswayed him from improving his diabetic status?
Maybe he wants to see his new baseline via a new hba1c without meds to see what further work is needed to stay med-free, for as long as possible?. It's a very long journey...hopefully.
We all deserve to be able to rely on hope. Hope to progress towards the ideal management which ticks all our boxes, not just a none diabetic hba1c result, once or twice.
We all have seperate goals for ourselves.
Why wouldnt the OP be any different?
Good luck
@hichamgsm . You have my full support. PM me if you feel you want to know more about my experience of being on gliclizide and now on insulin therapy and hugely IR when I didn't have to be. I've managed diabetes for over 40yrs now which includes stopping gliclizide and metformin both together due to intolerance and done with no forum, gp and at the time was awaiting for an endocrologist consultation.
Keep testing and stay focused. Its very possible.
Re-read daisy1s intro information and/or see this website for ideal bg readings to keep you right.
We all have our seperate own bgs range given by our main diabetes team.
As we are all different.
Go for it!
