I am so happy about this. After my last lab results, my doctor has been gradually lowering the dose of my diabetes drugs.
I was taking the following
Metformin 2500mg per day (max dose)
Glyburide 20mg/day
Gemfibrizol don't remember dose
Altace 10mg per day
Precose 10 mg? before meals.
So after weaning me off slowly, this is what I'm taking now
Metformin 500mg twice a day and that's it!!!
If my BS readings and HCA1 levels stay where they are ,I should be able to stop taking the metformin.
Hurray!!
Also my doctor is now convinced that low carb is the way to go for diabetics. He has seen my results along with a couple of his other patients. That is really the best news. Last time I was there he wrote down all the suppliments I have been taking so he could talk to his other patients about them.
Get Control, Go Low Carb!!!!
