My diabetes has gone

A very well done to you

 

Sounds like your doing an amazing job any blips will soon be sorted by yourself or the doctors

 

please do some writing and tell exactly what you have done along the Whole way ? you are amazing

do you do a lot of work-out or trekking or sports ..?

 

amazing am so happy for you <3

 

So long as you don't have BG spikes like the old days you'll be sorted, well done.

 

Wow! You are amazing and so disciplined too

 

That's what I'm aiming for - being able to say that I don't need any medication to control my blood sugars. As you say, discipline is the key - recognise you have been given a warning for the abuse you have put your body under - it told you it couldn't cope any more, and you dealt with it. Low carbs are the answer (and isn't it amazing being able to have cream when we have been told by the diet industry that it is bad for you?!). I love flavoured water too - couldn't go back to full sugar coke - yuk!

I'm a walker too, have changed my work hours so that I can get at least half an hour in every day.

You are an inspiration to those of us who are still on the journey.

 

Well done @KittyKatty , great result.

 

That's amazing. Congratulations. Very well done.

 

Well done you. From what you have said I am doing very similar to you and have lost over 4 stone and dropped 3 dress sizes. I test my blood regularly and it is always within NHS 'normal' range. Hopefully that will be reflected in my next HBA1C (my 2nd since diagnosis around 6 months ago). You are an inspiration.

 

And so are you Well done. Keep posting

 

@KittyKatty very well done. Keep posting, that should make sure you stay on the straight and narrow. Your GP probably hasn't seen anything like it as most people follow the official guidelines to eat carbs with every meal.

 

Great result @KittyKatty, well done!

 

Very well done.
Interesting to see what results you get this week.

 

I agree in the case of T1, but it is entirely possible to reverse T2 with a lot of hard work and perseverance, which is what the OP has done.

 

That is amazing , so congratulations . Its a journey I hope to complete myself - including the dress sizes ( two down so far)


I do have one question though. If you have dropped five dress sizes and got rid of all medications you probably look and feel fantastic and better than you have done in years. Why do you even care how foods that were toxic to you behave now?. Surely even if the answer is you " could " eat them because you are " cured" - why would you want to open yourself up to the temptation of finding you can then eating more of them? even if you are free from diabetes, isn't that a potential path to the dress sizes expanding again?

If it were me I think I would leave them well alone. The carb cravings were the downfall for many of us. It sounds to me similar to a recovered alcoholic saying now I managed for five year without - one small drink won't hurt. So if you feel you must test to make sure you are fully recovered, please don't forget its just a test and then leave them in the garbage can again.

 

Apologies for repeating myself, it is not my intention to put the dampeners on anybody's hard work but the fact remains, if you can eat 250 gms of carbohydrate each and every day without your BG going bonkers then you are indeed probably not diabetic. However, a lot of us will have to watch our carb intake for ever and no matter what medication we take.

Bit like dieting really, people will eat less than their BMR (which in turn will be less than what they were eating), lose weight (hopefully, not always clear cut) and then go back to their old habits and back goes the weight.
