No mention of diet and exercise. Just make the drug companies richer.

When I was first diagnosed (with an A1C of 13.7) the ‘nutritionist’ (i use that term loosely, because she was an idiot) told me a diet of no more than 10% fat (not even 20%) and at least 100g of carbs with EACH MEAL was the recommended plan to ‘control’ my diabetes...

I shudder to think how many meds I’d be on and how many limbs I would have lost by now had I not found Atkins and then Keto/fasting.

Last A1C (with no meds at all) 4.9.

Since January I have lost 80 pounds. From 300 to 220.
My morning fasting blood sugar has been between 85 and 95.
Tomorrow I have lab work done. I am hoping I can get off metformin. I had been taking 4 pills (2 metformin and 2 glipizide) a day for type II but now I am down to one metformin. Hopefully tomorrow, the one metformin goes away too!

I am waiting for the new Light Beer treatment. It may work when Coors Light is combined with Miller Light but not to exceed one case and not less than two six packs in a 24 hour period.
