[QUOTE="Mottsy, post: 1749726, member: 468498"] Thank You. I was diagnosed with Type 2 on 23 January this year. (Blood sample taken on 6 January). My HbA1C was 57 and I was prescribed Metformin 500mg twice a day. I felt my surgery were more of a hindrance than a help and could not get an appointment to see the doctor to discuss the results. (My only other post was a rant about that!) So feeling overwhelmed by it all and needing help, I looked to the internet and found this wonderful site. I read everything I could to try and understand this disease and immediately started a low carb diet. (Very low carb). I started to test my blood and within 4 days my blood tests were below 7 and so far have never gone any higher. Most being high 4’s to mid 5’s with the very occasional low 6 from the “Morning Phenomenon”. Weight started to fall off me, 2.5 stone so far and hoping to continue. I changed my GP Surgery and on 15 February the new surgery’s nurse was taking blood to get another sample tested. I just got back from getting the results. My HbA1c level is 39! The Diabetic nurse is extremely pleased and explained that my Diabetes is reversed but I still have Diabetes and will always have it. (Just as I learnt from this site). We discussed whether I should come off Metformin, (I decided stay on it for now), and she is happy to see in me in a year for another blood test. (She said if my own blood tests should start to go up them give the surgery a call). So a very big THANK YOU to everyone. [/QUOTE]
