My name is Tony I have type 2 since 2007 and after a short started being prescribed the normal drugs. This as about 5 years. Then I decided to try low carb much to the annoyance of then GP. After six months got rid of one tablet then a few months later the other one. I have not taken any medication for the last 7 years or so. I have to keep on top of it and cannot afford to relax. I walk about 5 miles a day, keep busy with choir, playing the ukulele.
