[QUOTE="Weather Man, post: 17032485, member: 137766"] Yeah, type 2 for quite a while and a long time not diagnosed. Make sure you get on Metformin extended release because the standard metformin will F your bowels. Take getting your eyes checked annually seriously. For several years I controlled with my best efforts at watching what I eat and worked out on a bike every day. I generally kept my A1C under 7.5 but it wasn't the best control. Then I had an eye exam where the doc said I had a small flame in one eye. At the same time, I started having the pins and needles in the feet. That scared me enough to go back into the doctor and got put on Victoza with the metformin. Did much better and went through the pins and needles in the feet again as my nerves healed. Several years later and A1C creeping up into 7 range and had to bite the bullet and do my best attempt at KETO. When I keep KETO my A1C is in the 5.5 to 5.9 range. The biggest shock to me was when I got and kept my A1C under control is that body changes that had happened slowly over years came back. I had stopped having urination erections and morning wood and I was having trouble performing. I just thought it was part of getting older, completely wrong. When my body healed up with blood sugar under control, all those functions came back to normal. The first morning I had a urination erection, I laughed, thought those were gone for good. Pay close attention to your toenails. If they start splitting, that is another sign your A1C is not under control. Getting on something like Victoza will help you control how much you eat. You can still eat the wrong things and blow your A1C. For me, going KETO was the only way to really keep my A1C in check. Another thing that really helped me was visualizing what a high A1C represents. It is the crap that accumulates on your red blood cells and slices and dices blood vessel walls and makes it harder for the red blood cells to get where they need to be. Good luck, the hardest thing to remember is that diabetes doesn't give two shits about how good your last test was. If you eat the wrong stuff, it will just keep on wrecking shit. I have read that a carnivore diet allows people to wean off of meds, but that is a wicked hard diet to stay on. [/QUOTE]
