Diagnosed years ago, tried lots of things on my own, I only discovered this forum last weekend, been on a low carb diet since, and have quit gliclizide, lost 4lbs in a week, was getting bg of 14+ before I started this diet, so something is stirring.Hi @Greg1957 when where you diagnosed,just trying to workout how long you've been trying to get your BG down,and what foods are you eating to help you reduce them! K
I'd take it if my blood test had come back with inflammation but it didn't and I can control mine with diet. Some cannot because its genetical.4.9 this morning. Given all the evidence against taking statins how many of you are still taking it. I’m still taking it but would like to stop just a bit frightened to bite the bullet.
@Greg1957 Exactly same has myself 17 years found this site myself around 2 years ago and never looked back, there are a number of different diets to follow but the main thing you need to reduce is the carbs rice potatoes bread etc fill up with extra veg. I've been on LCHF which is low carb high fat diet for just over 12 months lost 4 stone in weight no meds for diabetes but recently started on statins due to raised cholesterol levels. If you need any advice this is where you will get help and advice a huge community on here we all had same problems but so helpful so ask away anything you need answering.

My DN/Medical team suspects T1.5 (LADA) so I need to get anti body tests done in Jan.
If it’s positive, I’ll be progressing to Type 1 on insulin.
