[QUOTE="ExiledJack, post: 2273133, member: 522117"] My blood glucose was around 17mmol/l when I was initially seen by an out of hours GP and he admitted me into hospital for two nights. When I was let out they didn’t then know if i was type 1 or 2 so put me on insulin. When the c-pep and antibody tests came back they suggested I remain on insulin despite it being type 2 but I wanted to control it without so reduced the insulin gradually everyday until I stopped it completely about 6 weeks ago. I now take metformin 2x 500mg twice a day but I am hoping to reduce this at my next clinic appointment. The hope is then that I lose the final 28 lbs to take me to a healthy weight and try and get off medication completely. Yesterday was my first day where 8 out of 8 readings were below 5 so really pleased with my progress. Saying that, my fasted BG was 6.2 this morning so there’s still plenty of working to be done.
