Since being diagnosed on 8 August and starting on low carb/high protein diet + Metformin SL 1000mg plus Chromium and L-Tyrosine daily my morning FBS has gone from 10.9 in the first week down to 6.2 during the past four days and it's remained fairly constant around the 6.2 - 6.8 mark throughout the day.
I'm not able yet to do much exercise due to breathing problems so I'm fairly sedentary but I'm pleased with that improvement over just a few weeks. Also I think due to the Chromium and L-Tyrosine I'm not craving carbs at all, in fact I'm not getting half as hungry as before and for the first time in years, I'm not constantly thinking about food and what I can fill myself up with. So SOMETHING is working. And my poor, battered digestive system is getting a hard earned rest too.
