[QUOTE="KMPMBA, post: 1768245, member: 473070"] Hi Guys, This forum is so encouraging, not sure why I did not stumble across earlier. I am 45 and have been PD for last 15 years and have maintained the condition with minor lifestyle and diet changes but it seems it is progressing now, I have been doing random tests time and again and was reassured with the numbers that I was still a PD even after such a long duration (they say 5 years max and then you cross the bridge). in 2003, I started off with removing all sugary drinks and most deserts, lost weight (123Kgs in 2003, now 95, best was 92), brought in carb control (Purpose of life for Indians is to eat carbs and more plain carbs every meal - not being a racist), exercised intermittently all these years. My numbers were in the range of 6.1 / 6.5 FBG all these while, PPG was always between 8.9 and would drop to below 5.5 on most days after 4 hours. As part of my intermittent tests I was surprised this morning, Fasting (131) 7.2 (half a toast, 2x scrambled eggs) PPG-Breakfast- 1hr (159) 8.8 PPG-Breakfast- 2hr (149) 8.3 Pre-Lunch (110) 6.1 PPG lunch - 2 hr (169) 9.3 (2 slices of brown bread + lentil soup + Large Salad raw veg) PPG lunch - 3 hr (150) 8.3 I am going for A1C done tomorrow, it was 6.2% (45) last year and has been in 6% (42) range always Do I need to see an endo? Have I crossed the line? Will I benefit from Metformin? I intend to make some more serious changes starting today and I love "denial" and not be officiated as T2, I do not want the stupid GTT to classify me - I would never ever drink 75g of sugar normally, so.. Your words guys, need some serious support here - mentally!! Thanks. [/QUOTE]
