[QUOTE="Aroundabout, post: 2295932, member: 528884"] Hi Paul, I was diagnosed T2 in late June with an HbA1c of, gulp, 138 and my BG was 19. I was put on Metformin and Gliclazide and immediately cut out sugar and flour. After a month I went Keto and my BGs moves to between 4-7 but the low 4s happened when I was out walking so that worries me a bit. I haven’t had my clinic appointment yet but decided to stop the Gliclazide for a bit to see what happened as it can cause hypos (BS under 4). So far my BGs are around mid 6s which is encouraging. It’s tough to get it right but there are some great tools. MyFitnessPal has a great food diary log with a massive database and makes it really easy to count your carbs. Once I made the adjustment to a whole new recipe book and a bit more forward planning and shopping it’s been great. Good days and bad days of course but signs of improvement are always motivating.
