I've pretty well given up carbs for the last 6 months. Lost 12Lbs and reduced my Hba1c from 53 to 38. During this period I continued to take my medication as per normal (Victoza, Metformin & Glicazide) Reading from the Direct study literature, I gather that the next phase is to eliminate all diabetes medication for a 2 month period and if my Hba1c stays normal to slowly introduce carbs back into my life. My Doctor says to stay in touch and get Hba1c checked monthly to monitor progress. I'm aged 66 (diabetic for 16 years) and other than Diabetes. I am in reasonably good condition. I would appreciate any comments/advice from others who have tried this method to put diabetes into remission.
