[QUOTE="ringi, post: 1592410, member: 410240"] Starting with a BG of 34..... Stopping drinking orange juice, it come down to about 17 over 3 days. Then meds were prescribed. 14 days of gliclazide, that I stopped without GP approval after 10 days as my BG had come down so much. Given what I now know I would not have taken gliclazide, and just fasted for 48hs instead. Metformin 1g a day - due to all of its benefits I do not mind taking it for life, however, it does not reduce BG much on its own. Due to low carb my BG is now under 6 2hr after all meals, with a fasting BG of about 6. It come down to these levels within a few weeks, but it was a few months before I risked eating food like potatoes, and now I will not have such high carb food more than 2 times in a week. Likewise, if I eat a slice of cake or have some high-fat ice cream my BG is back to normal within 2hr, but once again I can't risk eating these often. I have also lost over 1 stone, and at least 2inches on waist size, without trying to reduce how much I eat. I found that a walk after each meal helped control BG, even a 10-minute walk can have a big effect. [/QUOTE]
