How much overweight are you @lcarter? Are doctors pleased with you having no damage from sugar/carbs or is damage evident and to what extent?

I reversed my Type 2
Treatment type
Diet only
Sky high levels of insulin.

I'm a type 2.

Amazing...but stories like that don't surprise me anymore...

As Dr Jason Fung and others have pointed out, T2D is a condition of chronically HIGH insulin. The solution is a carbs lite, fats friendly, insulin lowering lifestyle... That gives us a very wide range of inclusive dietary options.

Hi Lcarter - Some folks do have issues with Metformin. Did your Doc swap you over to the slow release variant? many get on a lot better with that.

Edited due to me sloppy reading - I see you're already on the slow release. Apologies
