Is it possible to reverse type 2 diabetes after 7.5 years. Until last week my bg was averaging 6 mols on my meter. Suddenly my bg's dropped to 2.1, with no changes to diet or medication. Took all day to get my bg's back above 4, then suddenly they went to 10.6 and then dropped to 4.4 before bed. I have tested my normal meter and that is reading ok. I have also done tests with a second meter. I spoke to my diabetic team and they took me of my gliclazide tablets, but bg's have rarely been over 5 since that episode of hypos. Saw my Dr yesterday and they have reduced my Metformin from 850 to 500 three times a day. Blood tests done today. I am now on Metformin and Lyxumia. In the last 18 months I have lost 2.5 stone and reduced my waist size from a 44" to a 36". The Dr's are saying that I am now over controlled or I'm no longer a diabetic. Prior to the hypos I was on Metformin x3, gliclazide x3 and the Lyxumia injection.
