[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2283836, member: 401801"] Honestly? We can't give medical advice or diagnoses on here.... But.... I know what I'd do. (And did). ... You're in the normal range. Not perfect, not yet. But headed there. And you're doing it without the metformin already. The 800 cal diet isn't one that's meant for a long run though, it's not sustainable long term. Even if it is a good way to get started, it is considered a crash diet and those end up giving people deficiencies if you go beyond the 6-8 weeks. [URL]https://josekalsbeek.blogspot.com/2019/11/the-nutritional-thingy.html[/URL] <-- this is sustainable and you can transition to it when the 800 cal diet is done. Or before that time, for that matter. Up to you. Just saying.... I haven't been on metformin, not gliclazide, nor a statin for almost 4 years now. Diet-only. ....Entirely up to you. Not giving advice. Just the options... ;) Good luck, Jo [/QUOTE]
