Hi, I was diagnosed type 2 about 10yrs ago, after years of gradually mounting bg levels and increasing meds I read about the lchf diet. As I said my bg levels were slowly mounting so I thought "what have I got to lose?" apart from weight of course! That was about two years ago now and since then I have lost just over two stone, have gone from 4x metformin and 1x gliclazide a day to just 2 x metformin a day and have got my Hba1c down to 39. I have to say that lchf has exceeded anything I thought it would do for me. I would just like to add that I don`t eat huge amounts of fat, I just don`t avoid it.
