[QUOTE="AtkinsMo, post: 1349200, member: 104933"] Absolutely brilliantly well done! Reversal of early T2 is becoming commonplace (for those who discover the solution and are prepared to modify diet / lifestyle) but after 12 years, wow! Just wow! Now that you have learned that not all conspiracy theorists are wrong (there is something very wrong with our health systems around the world) I have some advice for you on the reading front. First of all, Cholesterol. The best read, in the field is Malcolm Kendrick. His book, The Great Cholesterol Con, is a good read and will convince you entirely that in terms of Secondary prevention there is a small benefit, but it is small. The research always reports benefits in terms of relative risks, so if 2 people in 100 would have had a heart attack and this reduces to 1 person in 100 that is reported as a 50% reduction in risk. We, the patients, imagine that to be a huge reduction and worth the side effects. But if 100 people are treated and 20 report troublesome side effects, some of which are serious, 19 of those people are suffering side effects for no personal advantage. And the long term problems associated with statins are largely unknown, there seems to be some link with increased incidence of Alzheimer's and cancer. Going for a brisk walk, for 30 minutes a day, would be more beneficial to your heart health than any known drug. As for the Lansoprazole, my advice would be to try a few days without it and see what happens. The worst that could happen is you get your heartburn back (unpleasant but not life threatening). The best that could happen is that you have spontaneously cured your GERD by following a low carb diet. It does happen, but you don't notice because the medication is suppressing the symptoms anyway. Or, as you say, maybe it's the aspirin. Having been on Omeprazole for years, I was 'cured' in weeks. Thankfully I had read that LCHF reverses GERD and tried a few days without the Omeprazole - unbelievably the symptoms had completely disappeared, and never came back! As, to all intents and purposes, you are no longer diabetic, your risk for other conditions, related to diabetes, will be reduced, your doctor may be supportive of you at least reducing your drugs. There have never been and there never will be any trials on cocktails of medications, nobody knows how any combination of drugs works in the human body. I am still on anti-coagulants, I will have to take them for ever, but I am happy to be free of the cocktail of medications I was once on and feel better for it. And a final conspiracy theorist, Ben Goldacre, 'Bad Pharma' is a rather depressing read - but he totally convinced me that Pharmaceutical companies have no souls and the training and 'Continuous Professional Development' of our doctors (compulsory and almost 100% funded by drug companies) is a major contributor to the problem.
