I was diagnosed with diabetes in 2001 and my readings while on glucophage were still hoverring around the mid 100s to 200s. Stopped the glucophage on day one of induction. That was a few weeks ago. Now every morning meter reads between 100-115 and evening is 94-110. I'm impressed with how atkins has changed my glucose levels.

Kenny- you came to the right place! I was so encouraged when I saw what Atkins has done for some on this board!! I too have gotten off my diabetes meds- you will be pleasantly surprised by your lab tests as well! My HgA1C went from 7.9 on meds- to 4.1 on Atkins with no meds! Keep in touch and lets us know how you are doing- as well to encourage new people who need this program to beat the devastating effects of diabetes!

Hi, I'm new here. I usually hang out at the century club.

I've been on Atkins for 43 days. I used to take 4 mg gluconorm before each meal. Now I take 2mg once a day in the morning. I expect to stop gluconorm in a few weeks.

That will leave Actos for my diabetes, AND
Altace, Lipitor & baby asprin to prevent heart disease

June 14th,

I am now off gluconorm entirely and my Hemoglobin A13's have been normal for the last 6 months.

Wow goodonya....have you been on metphormin????

woo hoo for everybody getting healthier on Atkins. Blood sugar control is so important because while you don't see it nor feel it it happens and it is the cummulative effect of it all that causes the damage later in life.


Merry Christmas and Happy low carbing to y'all.

I just joined this board yesterday. So happy to find you here. I am Syndrome X and taking Glucophage. Current weight is 216 (down from 222) and am progressing slowly. I have been diagnosed for 6 years and pretty much went into denial; took nothing and did nothing until I developed PVD and couldn't walk 30 steps without severe pain. So I am low carbing and walking (was able to walk a mile slowly yesterday) and I am thrilled. My BP remains kinda high even though I do take my meds. If you all know of any supplements that help I would be appreciative. My early morning numbers are now under 200 (down from about a 380 average) and during the day they range from 120-165 (not bad considering the previous numbers).

I am so grateful to have found this board. I can look forward to living a bit long I believe.) I want one of those measuring sticks for the bottom of my messages.

Luv & peace to y'all.
