[QUOTE="KeithT 2, post: 2007726, member: 469507"] Congratulations on your success. I can confirm everything you say because over the past 18 months I have brought my BG numbers into manageable remission too. I have gone from steady double figures to well below the target range for type 2 diabetes. My last HbA1c was 42 which resulted in my doctor taking me off the Gliclazide for fear of me going into hypo - which I had been very close to a couple of times. My weight has dropped from 13 stone 11 pounds to 10 stone 12 pounds in 18 months of serious management regarding food intake and what I eat. Also like you, I don't listen to all the hype about curing type 2 with this, that, or the other, but this dreadful disease can certainly be put in its place by good, careful, management. That's the key. It's no good stuffing cakes and lots of carbs, expecting that BGs to be okay and to take care of themselves. They won't be. It's going to always be a two way condition, - self management and medication. However, it can also be self management and diet. I am now working towards that end after the last 14 odd years popping pills. Keep up the good work. I wish I had done it after diagnoses instead of relying totally on pills. A thumbs up from me.
