hi
Could people please share the stories of how they achieved remission and what it means for them, I’m 3 months into my diagnosis and have dropped my ac1 from 64 to 48 but I still take 1000mg of metformin a day, my bs 2 hours after meals is always between 5 and 6.5 but my morning bs is always in the 6s and when I was last Ill it was in the high 8s so I was just wondering how do you get into remission is it the lchf diet or the blood sugar diet or just weight loss in general, does the weight loss have to be fast or will steady work to and also when you’re in remission does that mean things like stress or illness no longer spike you blood sugar. Sorry for all the questions I just feel drs give shocking advice, I was told loose weight and you can cure yourself, and it sounds fantastic but to good to be true, I was told you are cured while ever you don’t put the weight back on and stick to low carb but my nurse said it’s not true and I would still be a diabetic and at all the risks of a diabetic, sorry again just trying to get my head round this.
