Thank you

To everyone who has answered my questions and helped me find my way.

I have now, with the cognisance of my diabetic nurse, dropped all four Glicazide and am now just taking 1 X 10mg Forxiga and 18 units of Lantus once daily.

This is a huge step forward for me and I am looking forward to, hopefully reducing my insulin as my weight decreases.

I didn't feel that LCHF was quite right for me, but dropping high carb food has really been the reason for this improvement, probably generally eat around 30g carbs daily and have stopped buying low far foods. I have now lost around 14lbs and am hoping to lose another 28lbs.

It actually seems possible thanks to this way of eating. I like feeling full and have really cut down on snacks. I'm coming in between 4.7 and 6.2 generally, which seems pretty good to me - unless you know different?I Don't feel that fasting would be a good idea as I'm on insulin - anybody know if it is ok or not.

Anyway thanks again forum members - you have transformed my diabetes management.
