[QUOTE="DaveHFCooper, post: 2477240, member: 518314"] Hi, not entirely in the same shoes but I feel your pain! Hbac1 of 97 and Christmas Eve was told I would need to start injecting insulin if the levels didn’t come down. My finger prick test was hitting 22 so got very depressed tbh. I generally had a moan and basically went berserk over Christmas eating and drinking but a doctor friend put me onto a book by Dr Jason Fung called the Diabetes code and since reading this and adapting it to my lifestyle my finger prick test is now down to 9.1 this morning and I have lost 3lbs in weight. Now I’m not plugging this book but it certainly hit home for me. I started Tuesday the 4th Jan with low carb diet and fasted from 6pm till 8am everyday I also stopped drinking Alcohol as well. So there is a lot of possibilities as to why my bloods have dropped but I believe that the fasting is the important part. It’s not easy by a long shot but at the time of writing this I am into a 24hr fast and my bloods are 9.1mmol. If my levels stay the same over the next week I will stop taking my Meds, I have another test in March so I need to keep this up as hopefully this will state that my type 2 diabetes is in remission [/QUOTE]
