Quit All Diabetic Medicine: One Year Later...

Hello, everybody. I am not qualified to give you
medical advice under any circumstances. However,
this is a forum where we can tell our friends out there about our
experiences with this terrible desease. I am sending you this message
because of the relationships between low-carb diets and
the amount o sugar in our body.
I quit my diabetic medicine (Micronase & Glucophage)
about 1 year ago, around November 7, 2002.
I did it without even consulting my family doctor.
At that time my HbA1c was a 10!
Believe it or not, my HbA1c was equal to 5 (Mg/Dl 81),
on November 18, 2003.
It was 6.5 in March, and 5.9 in July.
I have also lost 12 pounds permanently without any exercising.
How did I achieve this? Here is my routine:

I eat only fried or steamed chicken and fish
with vegetables like green beans, broccoli,
and Chinese greens.
For snacks, I have only low-carb peanuts,
or low-fat chesse (75% of the fat off).
THIS IS IT!

I have not touched anything like rice, bread, fruit, potatoes,
tomatoes, etc., for over a year now!

Many people think that what I am doing is extremely difficult.
It is quite difficult, but the rewards are fantastic!

I feel very healthy, and like a normal person again.
I do take Lipitor for my cholesterol. Of course,
I was taking it before I quit the diabetic medicine anyway.

I wish you all a very healthy life!

With best regards,

Soulis

One more thing:

I drink diet coke in restaurants and diet rite and water at home.
I drink big glasses of diet rite and water (half and half).
