Hi my names Jo and I have just joined the forum. Mainly because after nearly 15 hrs of type 2 I'm having to grab this disease by the b****.
I've messed around, not taking meds so I can lose weight and stretching the boundaries of cutting down on carbs and starch.
So ive spent a week researching as my Dr wants the next step to be insulin, which to me is a no! I've read loads about reversal and though I'm not under any illusions I can become diabetes free after all this time I'm sure going to give it a go.
So as of last week, I'm down to 50g carbs a day. This does not sound that low but im determined to count every last one of them carbs, even if they are in a seemingly harmless spear of brocoli.
After a week there is no weight loss(but no weight gain!) And sugars are fluctuating. (very strangely).
But it took me 45 years to become diabetic. There is no way that pancreas is going to start behaving after a week.
So, I'm in this for the long haul because I want to see my grand kids. I certainly want a retirement, preferably with both legs still attached. So if you fancy joining me on my journey. I'm going to give you a running commentary or you can give me one of your journey. Wish me luck.
