[QUOTE="Andydragon, post: 2442290, member: 521079"] Hi, If your levels don't come under more control and drugs reduce in efficiency then the "progressive" nature may we be said by the doctors/nurses and a move to insulin will be pushed for. I hope not but it's a path many in the medical see as standard But it's not always progressive, but it often needs a change to diet too. More drugs are coming and in my experience the push to insulin isnt seen as a good thing but when all other drugs fail, it does happen If you have any weight you could do with losing, that will likely help and low carb has been found to help in that. I’m now for or against low carb, it’s one tool in the arsenal and I have seen what my bloods do when I have higher so do see it’s impact. Many others have found benefits too As for agreement, well... Maybe not, mine were great at appreciating low carb and seeing it's effects. I was carrying a lot of weight so that reduction also has helped sway the Dr I think. But my results speak for themselves. Sometimes we have to do what we think is best. After all dropping carbs and eating healthy, it isn't a bad thing really. I also had 3 sets of drugs at one point, higher doses in met than you are on, and now down to none. It's my example and not guaranteed for you but there may be an option [/QUOTE]
