[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2233448, member: 401801"] You're always welcome to share the link yourself, if I seem to be awol for a bit. ;) As for [USER=520782]@Curley Shirley[/USER] , it's not too late for anything at this moment. Just be careful when you drastically cut carbs. You want to be testing a lot if you are still on the medication that doesn't seem to be doing much anymore. (Were you taken off it or are you still using them?) If you change the way you eat your blood sugars can drop like a stone, and no-one enjoys a hypo, which would happen with your meds. So do take care. And if you have any questions about whether something's okay to eat for a T2 or no, give us a shout. I do think you'd do well to get a C-peptide test, but not sure how achievable it is right now to get one. Still.... Getting levels down is a priority right at the moment, and even if something's going wrong somewhere with your insulin production, lowering carbs would still help the effort. Test, test, test, like there's no tomorrow, and cut the carbs as much as you dare. Whatever the outcome, things will get better. Jo PS: Are you on any other medication? Steroids, statins? Those can and will up blood glucose levels as well... The need for statins is quite debatable, but if you are on steroids for another condition you might need a little help here and there, on top of a dietary change. Just thinking out loud. [/QUOTE]
