[QUOTE="gefmayhem, post: 24358, member: 9742"] [b]Re: Success stories[/b] Hi I joined this forum back in early July as I was having problems with my control. I was advised to try lo-carb, I did this and last Friday I went to my first clinic in a year. My weight had dropped from 95 kg to 90kg, according to my scales this loss happened in the last 3 months or so. my blood pressure went from 147/80 to 144/82. Kidneys test from 28 to negative. HbA1c from 9.7 to 6.6 These are the only figures I was given. I was told to keep doing whatever it was I was doing to get the improvement. I said I was low carbing and was told 'Fair enough, keep an eye out for hypos'. This was from a young oriental lady (young to me anyway) and she seemed happy enough with the results to not worry about the low carbs. Not the reaction I was expecting, the last time I told them I was low carbing I was told not to do that as its dangerous and medically unsound. I'm type 2 and have been for about 18 years, on metformin 2000mg, Minodiab 20mg, Ramipril 2.5 mg, Simvastatin 40 mg and Avandia 8 mg all per day. Thanks from a happy bunny Having posted the above in its own topic it was suggested I repost it here. So having read all the posts, I've a couple more things to add. My diet consists of a lot of salami, nuts, other meat, veg and cheese, I love veggie omlettes. I have not cut down the quantities of meat and veg I eat but am not longer eating pasta, rice, potatos or bread. I changed my drinking habits from beer to vodka and diet coke and have still been known to get puggled from time to time - tonight for one :D . I make sure I have some salami around for when I get back from the pub and it seems to stableise me BS overnight. I try to fit my eating habits around what the canteen at work offer, it annoys me a bit that I don't get a reduced price for buying curry and rice but without the rice, but then the lady who serves me tends to top up my plate as I'm not having the rice. I'm sure that once I finish working in Southampton and get a job back home that my diet will improve further. I'm actually looking forward to my next clinic in 6 months time to see if I can improve my figures again, even if its just a wee bit. [/QUOTE]
