Just got home from my appointment with the Endo ... and ---- I'm off one of my oral meds (Amaryl)!!! Also, she said that I can lower my insulin if I continue to have such low numbers in the evenings!! So, now I'm on Metformin 2x a day (1000 in AM and PM) and the insulin. I've been smiling for the last hour! lol

She said that my numbers were "AMAZING" - she was totally shocked with what I had accomplished. Mind you, I only started Atkins on 4/16 ... so I'm pretty freaking impressed too!!

Well done! And you've given your doctor something to think about. If enough of them see us healing ourselves and getting off the meds they might start informing their other patients about this way of eating as they hand them their prescriptions.

Maybe, but I'm not holding my breath on that one :D

I'm glad that more of them are not out-and-out opposed to it as they used to be.

You are amazing!! Weight loss is great..but when you see yourself making such great progress with your diabetes it makes you realize that you CAN control diabetes instead of it controlling you!! You have also been rewarded with some great weight loss! You go girlfriend!!
