Good on you. I know it's not easy to do.

I have diabeties too.
Just getting past a low bsl myself. Eyes are still blurry. Ate a spoonful of honey,will be ok in a few minutes.

I manage the hell out of my diabeties. My last a1c was 5.12.

I felt like I had to change so much it was overwhelming when I got diagnosed. My cat saved my life.

I was in the hospital for a few weeks as they tried to get my bsl down to reasonable level.
I was given insulin.

But now meds do the job. Don't need insulin now.

I try hard but no matter how much Lantus I take, my morning sugar is always around 260 and who knows how many hours it’s been at that number. I can control it pretty good during the day with humalog.

I’ll do another test in a week or two. If nothing else I’ve lost about 13 lbs by avoiding sugar and carbs.

Real science.. Placiebo controlled, double blind scientific studies. Not adverts from some company/person trying to sell you something
