[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 2170343, member: 245335"] I see low carb and keto have already been mentioned. Not a bad idea! I never ate chocolate or cake, so I didn't have to give them up, but if you do, it's best to stop. When I just cut out bread, potatoes, rice, and pasta I was able to stop Gliclazide, Januvia and because my cholesterol dropped as well, I also stopped taking atorvastatin. I eat less than 50gms carb per day which is all in the vegetables I eat, just as well I like them. I've managed for 5 years and my last HbA1c was 46, last total cholesterol was 4, so no complaints from my DN or Dr. It's not always plain sailing and if you can, see if your GP will give a c-pep and an insulin resistance test, at least you will then know exactly what's going on. I've been struggling for the last six months because I was prescribed Victoza for metabolic problems, it's also prescribed to diabetics. I probably got complacent and added to my dad passing away 6 months ago and several months clearing the house out (note to self - declutter and downsize my stuff before somebody else has to clear up), I've not been good and this morning having not eaten since 19:30 last night BG is over 11. BTW, my skinny father was a poorly controlled type II on insulin which he seemed to think allowed him to eat chocolate, meusli, honey and drink red wine. As a result his eyesight was very poor and he was lucky to only lose a toe and I get the impression he liked the two seven week stays in hospital for infections that he ignored till he was delirious.
