[QUOTE="Winnie53, post: 1215360, member: 160246"] [USER=288779]@JessT24[/USER] if and when you start medication is a decision we each need to weigh with our healthcare provider. If you commit to doing the low carbohydrate high fat (LCHF) diet as described here [URL]http://www.dietdoctor.com/diabetes[/URL] and elsewhere, blood glucose levels will drop and stabilize within 1 week (slight to moderate insulin resistance) to up to 4 weeks (severe insulin resistance). I have severe insulin resistance. A1c was 9.9% when re-diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 17 months ago - (I crossed over from pre-diabetes to type 2 diabetes 10 years earlier but didn't take medication and didn't know about the LCHF diet then). On the low carbohydrate high fat diet, it took me 4 weeks to get my blood glucose levels down. After having been on the diet for 6 weeks, I saw my doctor to inform him that I would not be starting any medication. When he saw my results, he was impressed and saw no reason to start Metformin if I continued to maintain good blood glucose control. My A1c was 5.4% in December 2015. Whatever you decide to do, we'll support you start to finish. :) [/QUOTE]
