[QUOTE="Diane60, post: 1412569, member: 373913"] Two weeks ago today I was newly diagnosed with Type 2. I had an appointment with a trainee doctor who prescribed Metformin and gave me a couple of websites to view before seeing the Diabetes Doctor in our clinic. My BG was 22.3 two weeks ago. Information on this forum led me to try the LCHF diet. I think this has helped me enormously. Saw the Diabetes specialist yesterday and my BG was 8.6. He was very pleased but stated this was still high!! This was obviously achieved thru diet but when discussing the possibility of coming off all medication in the future, his response was that I would probably need it for life. I might add that the diet sheet given me was to include bread, pasta potatoes etc. Is this the case? I have read some real secession stories on this forum. I know that there is no "quick fix" to Diabetes but I don't really want to be medicated for the rest of my life. Have another appointment in three months. Hopefully BG levels will be normal by then.
