[QUOTE="KennyA, post: 2214401, member: 517579"] It's now two months since I was diagnosed and I have been strict low-carb in that time (with the exception of two days, and I learnt from that mistake). Fasting 18hrs maybe five days in seven. My weight is falling pretty quickly - not sure what I was when I started or what I am today, but I was weighed by the DPN in January and was 110kg - below my 2017 weight. BG figures are low and stable - I have a month's meter data now and a reading over 6 is rare. Nothing ever above 7.3, and mainly in the 4.7 to 5.6 range. Can't work out how to post the graphs here. Predicting an HbA1c in the mid thirties. DPN is pushing statins again because surprise, my cholesterol is up but I'm fasting and losing weight, so what do you expect. Not ever taking statins anyway. This all seems good, but I'm not stupid enough to think I've cracked it. Couple of questions - what am I missing, and what can I expect next? [/QUOTE]
