[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2014976, member: 196898"] Thanks Thanks for your support. I am hyperinsulinemic so for me exogenous insulin is not an answer since I clearly generate enough of my own. Glic worked for me because I had a poor Stage 1 insulin response, and by timing my dose properly I was using it to boost that initial response. So most of my insulin comes during the longer post prandial period, which is why my sugars dip during the night even when not taking any med as i am doing now. I generally drop 2 or 3 mmol.l in the night at the moment, so my morning fbg looks good. I am actually doing excellantly at the moment on just metformin with full in the face hospital food. I am generally below 7 mol/l most of the day even with 3 meals a day, and tea with biccies. Seems my 3 years on LC diets up to now has done me well. and a bit of weight loss in hospital has done wonders for my IR. Today my doctor declared me as being In Remission. with a second HbA1c of 46 after the 42 of a year ago. and today the hospital has stopped taking glucose readings and scrubbed out the Diabetic label on my chart above the bed. I consider myself to be back in control, but still diabetic and needing to regulate my lifestyle and weight to maintain this happy condition. But I have just had 2 days of birthday cake celebrations and still the meter showed good results. I can holiday again!!!!!!! I don't need to be so anal either...... But losing my Glic will also mean I lose my GP support for SMBG test strips. so I will have to PV fund the Caresense Dual instead of the Codefree since it tracks the hospital meter closely, whereas the Codefree does its own thing and meander around the place as it does.
