[QUOTE="TriciaWs, post: 2168789, member: 475901"] Congratulations! I was getting meter readings into the normal range within 2 weeks on low carb - starting on 100g a day. My three month HbA1c was fine, although by then I had dropped to 85g carbs a day to get rid of the remnants of the dawn phenomenon. No exercise, as I am mobility impaired. I think I was lucky, as I was diagnosed early and I went low carb as soon as I was diagnosed (and refused metformin) - it seems that the quicker we act by low carbing the more likely we are to get into remission. But I know this change can reverse too, as I'd gone low carb when told I was pre-diabetic a few years earlier, but then slipped back into eating cakes, rice, pasta and chocolate again - just two-three years respite then diabetic. So my advice would be to keep up with your new lifestyle. [/QUOTE]
