Basically I was diagnosed two years ago.......have struggled with food for years....on metformin,gliclazide and lantus insulin...46 units. Have been tough with myself and through diet alone I have reduced my insulin from 48 units a day to 26 and counting down in two weeks. My aim is to lose the insulin and meds if I can. I have also lost nearly a stone too.....just shows it can be done!! I'm from England so if my figures are a bit different!
