Just wanted to introduce myself.I've been reading all the info here for the past 6 months and wanted to say thank you!!!!! It has saved my life.I was officially diagnosed in Novemeber given gliclazide  and Metformin. I had a 10.9 A1C but have been struggling with POCS and all the "joys" it comes with for over ten years.I always had a pretty "good diet" with a lot of vegetables and whole grains. and but nothing was working. Not even a year of high intensity work outs. My weight increased to 280 lbs and I was seriously considering lap band surgery this January. I knew I was too young to feel this old. With my whole body aching and depression, something needed to change.I stopped with the gliclazide, my doctor agreed to it for three months. I understood that with POCS, I was insulin resistant and that was not right for me. So I went on a low carb higher fat way of living in March, having been encouraged by the suscess stories here. With my glucose meter in hand after every meal! I believe this was a key to my success.Also since May I have started interment fasting three to four days a week. Eating supper then having my first meal at 1pm the next day.As of this morning I have lost 45 lbs since March and have a A1C of 5.9!!!!!I think that's 41.My energy level is fantastic, my mood is high and am without being hungry.Thank you all. I have found what works for me with your help.</blockquote>
