Hello all! Last September I was feeling overwhelmed by my diabetes and quite dejected at the prospect of adding another medication. After much research, I embarked on a ketogenic lifestyle. When I visited my doctor after 1 month, instead of adding a medication, I stopped my Victoza and lowered my thyroid medication - my only medication for diabetes at this time is metformin. My A1C was decreased and I'm excited to see how much further it has decreased when I see my doctor in a couple weeks. My energy is increased and my weight loss has been slow, but steady, just what I was aiming for. I am committed to maintaining this lifestyle for the rest of my life to keep my diabetes in check and am happy to have found this forum for support.

Welcome
Congratulations on getting off the diabetes medications. Glad you found the Ketogenic diet to manage it.
