[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1919471, member: 196898"] I used to be like that. TOFI, feeling fine no troubles with high bgl >32 mmol/l with meter screaming KETONES at me - I happily ignored it. But then I had my strokes and my heart attack, and an HbA1c > 100 and my GP was referring me for insulin treatment. Then I woke up, and stumbled on this site. I have not left since. I am still here pontificating away and finding success with a lower carb lifestyle. My HbA1c was classed by the GP as Normal (3 successive results <58) so I am in his good books. However [USER=446715]@Boo1979[/USER] and I seem to be on similar paths, and my GP has asked me to raise my averge bgl up to 7 mmol/l so my next HbA1c coming soon will be higher. I did have occasional hypo's on Gliclazide, but have managed to significantly reduce my doses. The hypo's were minor, never needed assistance and I have been keto adapted, so were not a major concern to me. LC is a winner for me and I am starting my 4th year which for a diet is almost unnatural. [/QUOTE]
