Pl do not worry much if you are just on instamet....and not taking any other medicines for insulin churning from ur pancreas. Just enjoy few mangos....and celebrate today and eat whatever you want to eat as you were eating before becoming diabetic.

We are grateful for everything you are doing to help Indian diabetes.

Great going Anup

Anyway gliptin will not cause hypo

patient.info/medicine/sitag...

The mode of action:

As soon as we eat food the incretin hormones are released which releases insulin but is also quickly degraded

So gliptins prevents the degradation

So less likely of hypo unless taken with Sulphonlureas.

Anyway good of @anup to act instantly & help all...

What was imp was that u gave him confidence

That all that matters

He can be guided to dump gliptin

Sir What is MF SR?

Thanks!

His Dr may not be knowing that he is on lchf

So happy with the pills and numbers

We can coax him to reduce the pills

I believe that he can reverse it.

As happening with geodiabetic

he told me he is now seeing low numbers both fasting and pp

Youngsters can really reverse it with lchf as they have insulin resistance primarily but us oldies may also have some deficiency attached to resistance

Hi I checked my fbs and it was 80 today and yes lchf helps, at first I was taking two Istamet and one Forxiga but after starting LCHF within 2 months my weight reduced to 71 from 93 and blood sugar level got constant and fbs capped @92 and ppbs @ max 91, yep my ppbs is always lower then fbs also It is not like that I follow LCHF every day but I try my best to to follow it 99% time...

in reply to sknayak

If u embrace lchf properly then u can come down to just metformin and later on even stop it

You have to try and dump both the gliptin and sglt2 - forxiga

yep it is all about science, I never believe in anything told by some random people but when you recommend me for LCHF I read a lot about it and find that LCHF is not just another gimmick but all about science and one should trust on LCHF....
