Hi everyone! I got diagnosed with T2 in Dec 2016 (nice Xmas pressie lol)I took it off my own back to get myself a blood test for diabetes as I had found out a lot of my family members on my dads side had T2 my dad included, my test came back at 97!! Put straight on metformin. 500 a day to increase to 1000 x 2 daily. Had no probs at first but then it was making me really light headed and weird, went straight to this forum and quickly realised my best chance to reverse this was to go low carb high fat! I have embraced it and love it! Still even have red wine! I have went from 17st 8lb to 15st 11lb since January, and the best news ever was a phone call from my doctor was my bloods are in non diabetic range of 38!!! Iv to get off medication and keep to my lifestyle change! Over the moon is an understatement, I will never become complacent and go bk to carbs, just a big thank you for everyone who posts on this, you do make a difference 🙂

Well done Louise, that is a fantastic achievement. You've every right to proclaim it from the rooftops. Keep up the good work. Don't wait till you are hiding behind lampposts before you get in touch again. Everyone wants to hear good news🙂
 
Did your Gp give you a BG meter to manage your diabetes?
 
No nothing , I really want to test but can't ATM due to money issues x
 
Fabulous results Louise! Well done! 🙂 Keep up the good work, and don't be a stranger! 🙂

thats amazing to get such a good result while being unable to test. Have you asked your gp for a testing kit?
