Meds halved!!!! :o)

[TracyA]

Im so happy right now,Ive only been diagnosed with type 2 for just over a year.This forum gave me such wonderful knowledge when I really needed it.I still have loads to learn about Diabetes though. :?
Anyway,I started the Cambridge diet 2 week ago,and have lost a whole stone!!!! But in the mean time,my blood sugars are being sooooo good lol.I was averaging between 7 and 10 before I started the diet,and since Ive been on it,I havent gone over 6.So this morning I was 4.6 before even taking my medication which led me to call my doctor to maybe see if whilst Im on the diet I should maybe reduce my 2000mg of Metformin to 1000mg,he agreed with me.I know its not a huge thing,but to me its massive,as its a start in the right direction.Just wanted to share as Im a bit happy lol. :lol:

Well done Tracey. Great work with the weight loss.

Your fasting levels all sound good. Do you test after meals at all ? What are the readings 2 hrs after meals ?

If you are reducing your meds it is very important that you know what they are as fasting levels are not all you need to consider. They are just a part of the equation.

Keep us informed of your progress.

Thank you....

Yes Ive been testing 2 hours after food,and sugars are still 5.something,highest reaching 6.5.

That's even better to hear Tracey.

I had to ask as we sometimes get members who think that their fasting levels are all they need to know about. Not true.

Keep on doing what you are doing.....good stuff. 8) 8)
