[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2423470, member: 196898"] Update on my recent 2 week holiday in hospital. The hospital used random spot checks to test my sugar levels, so as such there was no proper attempt to monitor my progress (in either direction!). So as soon as I came out, I instigated my LCHF diet (non keto levels) and started my own prandial based monitoring. My FBG since discharge read: 7.8 / 7.2 / 6.1 /6.1. My daily average reads: 8.5 / 8.6 / 7.7 / 5.9 So far travelling in the rught direction. I am no longer on Metformin, so I expect to be approx 1 mmol/l above what I was achieving before hospital, and I have also suspended my supplementation with Bitter Melon and Gymnema Sylvestre, My daily average prior to admission was running at around 6.0 so I am close to my starting point after week of freedom. So it is clear that when the hospital withdrew all my meds and fed me Eatwell (with selective options where feasible), it had charged up my liver battery, but not by too much. Ergo, for me, Eatwell does not led to a proper control mechanism without requiring much higher medication. Something I knew already, but a bit more anecdotal (n=1) evidence, Edit to add: Eatwell made me very constipated, and I also lost 4 kg in 2 weeks. Maybe Metformin has another useful function that I am now deprived of. [/QUOTE]
