[QUOTE="geordie90, post: 239626, member: 30013"] hi gav As far as stopping my meds before diet, from what i understand if you are lowering your bg sufficiently and on metformin(metfartin would be a better name tbh) then you could have hypos as it could drop to low. I stopped before xmas to see what would happen and on my first day my fbg was 13.4! After a week it dropped to between 4-5. and has stayed there. It is not an easy diet to stay on cos i suspect it will get boring, but i think if i can stick at it for the two months i will have trained my mind to realise i dont need loads of food through the day etc. One thing I will say though is Im not going to live like a monk once im done on the diet. I will certainly adjust my eating habits in the future but will allow my self a treat now and again, just not as often as i do now. The medication should be used to assist me in reducing my bg not give me justification not to eat sensibly and do no exercise. As an aside jsut been to gym checked bg on return 4.5, seems to stick around that figure most of the time now! [/QUOTE]
