[QUOTE="badcat, post: 302102"] Early days for me, but looking very good so far I was diagnosed T2 15 years ago and managed fine on Gliclizide for years until last couple of years when I started to get high morning BM's (8 - 10) and rising whether I ate or not. HBa1C wasnt affected much at first, but went from 6% - 8% at last review Rather than go onto one of the Gliptins, as suggested by my consultant, I got interested in the low cal diet from the Newcastle study and then ammended it to higher cals (around 900) and lower carbs ( 60-70g) I have been following it for a month now - morning BMs were down within a week to between 5 and 6 and have stayed there ever since. Average BM over the month has been 6.7 whilst the last Hba1c would indicate an average of around 11 over the previous 3 months BP also appears to be down and I now have an appt with the medics to look at reducing medication as I have low BP readings [/QUOTE]
