[QUOTE="JeremySE18, post: 2585198, member: 416439"] Hi HSSS I agree with the first 4 paragraphs completely. To answer you next questions - The drop in levels on first diagnosis and 2nd blood test was on meds (metformin only) and diet (LCHF) I lost 15Kgs in the first 5 months, however that was because of the nausea and reduced appetite, I could barely eat a slice of toast. It wasn't until I had to go in to hospital for a minor procedure and I had to stop taking the metformin that suddenly my appetite returned and I was able to eat normally again. My GP took me off the metformin and put me on glic a couple of months later he suggested trying metformin again, which did and tolerated it normally. Coming more up to date, the glic was dropped about 5 months ago and on to Fligozin since then. BS on glic was pretty decent, again no hypos and significantly better overnight levels (5-6 mmol/L) Anyway as previously posted, I will be having my appointment at 4PM today, hopefully will have an update following that.
