I am not perfect, and haven’t gone Keto, just substantial drop in what I used to have. Have the occasional bad dayat the start of my journey my hba1c was 78. In June  following the addition of Dapagliflozin and weight loss I was at 46. So it could be the extra drugs, or the weight loss or both that helpedSince then I have lost a further 9.5kg and finger prick tests are averaging 5.5 or lower. I don’t measure significantly often thoughI am going to speak to the doctor on Monday and ask for a repeat hba1c and if it is lower ask to come off the drugs in reverse order they were added to my regimen. Then ideally 3 monthly reviews and weight loss until I reach a plateau whether no or some drugsis this a sensible approach or is there a better way to know when to drop them. Is the risk of my body gets better that I will drive myself into hypo risk? I know some of not all of the drugs I have do help weight loss also so do worry if not careful I’ll stop losing weight</blockquote>
