[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1374033, member: 196898"] -My incentive was the GP telling me that we had run out of otions, and a referral to the local hospital for Insulin Training, I have a major NO NO on this since my mother was T1D and died from complications. I somehow associate insulin as the last train to Clarksville. So I pleaded my case, amd we ended up with my GP supplying me with test strips on the strict understanding that if my HbA1c did not improve in 3 months then I would go on insulin without a whimper. We both kept our words for the last year, and I have found a comfortable lifestyle (LCHF) that I can sustain, and I became quite anal over testing (as others on the forum will attest) But its saved me...I have a goal and a feedback mechsnism that has allowed me to reduce my meds and still meet my GP's 'resolved' accolade. The key is in the testing, and diet control that is simple to operate, and I now live day to day. Some days I fall off the waggon, most days I manage to do it right, I have a BMI of 21 again, and I lost 4" off my waistline. I had a holiday over XMAS, but back on the waggon again now. My bgl average only rose 2 mmol/l after a week of bingeing, so I most certainly am seeing some remission in that my insulin resistance seems to have recovered a bit, So it is worth persevering with the battle, I send a hug and hope you find a way forward that works for you.
