Hi Everybody,

I wanted to let everyone know that after just 6 weeks on the atkins diet I have been able to discontinue my medication for diabetes (glucophage) It is now officially "diet controlled" and it feels wonderful to be able to have a source to battle this disease that really works!! I want to thak everyone who makes this forum possible, the support means a lot to me!

Regards,
Terri

Terri, that is great news. Thank you for posting it.

We can get so hung up on losing weight we forget about the health issues and it's wonderful to have such a positive story as a reminder. It must feel terrific to know you have more control over your health -- congratulations!!!!!

Great news, Terri You must feel wonderful.

Wonderful!! Thanks for sharing and continued success!!!

what GREAT news! There are so many other benefits to LCing...and I loved hearing about yours, Terri. Keep up the good work.

Wow! Congrats. I am trying to get my insulin under control with this as well (I could not tolerate the glucophage). Your accomplishment has given me hope. Thanks and keep reaching towards the stars.

This WOL has brought my blood suger under control too.
My 1 hr after meals blood meter reading have went from 196-199 to 80-90 what a defferance!!!!I was border line dieabetic it would be either in that upperrange or really low but now its stable..& also its helped get my PCOS under control. The exra bnifits are worth it alone I already made a desicion if I dont loose another pnd on this WOL Im not going to turn back the health benifits out weight the weightloss in my book..Congradulations!!!!!!!! Curious did they do a new A1C test??I bet itsreally low..

That is the best news! I know meds are necessary sometimes, but isn't it wonderful to know that now you are healthy enough not to need them? I just hate the fact that meds often have side effects and can make you need something else to counteract that effect.

You can be so happy!

Thanks everyone for sharing in my success, I haven't had my A1C test yet but it is due soon! I also have PCOS, and hope for improvement in that area as well! Cheers to everybody!
