Message: <blockquote data-quote="hecate105" data-source="post: 2712295" data-attributes="member: 489004">Yes - when i was first diagosed i went on a very low carb diet - no carrots even!! My level came down to normal within 3 months. But the low carb diet played havoc with my insides - gave me terrible tummyache and diarrhoea and my cholestrol went right up!! DR also did not say it would go back again - so it was a surprise 3 years later to be told i was diabetic again!! This time i did 2 courses thru the Doctors - one a standard diabetic one the other a WholeLife vegan diet. Before i started them i did the intermittent fasting really assiduously - and got back into 'normal'  - but did the vegan thing to make them happy (i used to be vegan so it wasn't hard!) As soon as i finished both courses  - i was told i could not have my blood sugar tested anymore - just once a year!!!So = i have lost faith in the medical experts - i just have to figure it out myself - so got a Libre kit (first one is free from Abbott if you are type 2!!) and am getting confused  so far!!!</blockquote>
