[QUOTE="Dr Snoddy, post: 1353306, member: 112460"] Congratulations. I am a recently retired teacher and was diagnosed with Type 2 two and a half years ago. My HbA1c was 104. I was put on 2g metformin per day, given a half hour appointment with a dietician and a fairly rapid place on a DESMOND course. I also discovered this site! I reduced my carb intake to 30-40:-/meal, upped my exercise and lost weight. Within two months my HbA1c was 78 and 36 shortly after that. I reduced the metformin dose to 1g per day and have maintained an HbA1c of 35-37 since then. However, I saw a new GP last week who was astounded at my results and reclaimed that they virtually get anyone back to normal from such a high initial reading. She asked me what I had done. I told her about the low carb approach which incidentally the young dietician I had seen had suggested. I did not say, and probably should have, that the official NHS advice e.g. pasta, baked potato etc does not make sense at all! Hopefully the advice given will change soon! [/QUOTE]
