[QUOTE="sarahmorter2, post: 2250431, member: 403314"] Hi - well done on your amazing HbA1c reduction - this is fantastic. 110-70 on your own.. don't underestimate that. I'm not T2, but my hubby has been for about 12 years, he's been low carbing for the last 2+ years, and brought his levels down from 101 to around 50-60. However, at his last annual check, he mentioned that he takes less insulin by injection now because he eats 'low carb' and his nurse advised that "perhaps he should start eating more carbs so he can take his medication". My message to you is not to just ACCEPT what they say - LISTEN and REFLECT and share with community here - they are so helpful. More recently they put him on Gliclazide 40mg, to bring his BG levels down further, but this has not had much effect. There is life after T2 - Keep your chin up - you are doing great :) [/QUOTE]
