Hi Riatha, glad to have you aboard.

My hubby is a T2 also and is currently controling his BG totally via a LC diet. He has been off all diabetes meds and his HbA1C has staying in the low 5's for two years. I'm impressed that you kept yours in normal range for years and am curious (for obvious reasons) both about how you kept it down and what you think may have led to the recent uptick. I've heard that even on low carb a diabetics BG may still start drifting upwards...but that could be because those of us on low carb slowly start allowing the numbers of carbs we eat to "creep up."

The American Diabetes Association clearly still hasn't really got a clue and too many doctors just follow their lead which forces diabetics and their families to rely on one-another for truly helpful tips.

Glad you're here.
