Low carb results

[sue512]

Thanks to this website and all the helpful advice I started a low carb regime about 6 weeks ago. A few people kindly commented about the need to adjust medication so I managed to see my diabetic nurse today. Sadly she is leaving but gave me a new monitor upped my script for testing strips and has got me in to see her again for bloods before she goes as she’s as keen to know how well I’ve gotten on as I am! She’s also left me with useful advice about managing the drugs.
My gains are
No back pain now, not just reduced but gone
No chest wheezing or breathlessness from asthma, although I still need the pumps
Off B/P medication, at least for moment, let’s see how it goes
Gliclizide dose halved just 60mg morning and tea time not 120mgs, although I may have to adjust
Continue with one metformin and trulicity for the moment
I’m like a dog with two tails at moment and can’t recommend this site enough, oh I forgot I’ve also lost 24 lbs in weight!! Thank you everybody for your kindness and support at the beginning of this journey and to my diabetic nurse that pointed me in your direction

Sounds like she may be your loss, but someone else's gain! Any idea where she's headed?
