It's going to require working closely with your diabetes team to begin taking you off the medications you're on. It can't be done all at once. And this will need to be done slowly. I don't have experience with this so don't know if this would be done over a period of weeks or months. Nor do I know if yo should come off the medication and insulin one at a time, both together, or one before the other. Hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia are both concerns.When I first began using the LCHF keto diet it took 4 weeks to get my glucose levels down strictly eating 30 to 42 carbs a day, no starch or sugar, because I was fighting 10 years of untreated insulin resistance. This was very difficult for me because so many others on the forum reported getting results in one week. I was so frustrated and scared too. What got me through those dark days was graphing my glucose levels every day. I will try to post a picture here of how I did it. That's what kept me going. MY Glucose numbers were all over the place but they eventually began trending down. More later. I've got some scheduled obligations today.</blockquote>
