Im type II as many know and lately for the last few months my blood sugar has been getting really low every day and night causing me to become Hypoglycemic with my sugar levels dipping into the low to mid 50's and causing me to feel really funky. If not caught in time and dips any further can go into a coma and die.
So the doc cut my meds back and still didnt help, still every day, even though I was eating, the number were dipping down, it got to a point I started to have to eat sugar candies every night before going to bed so I wouldnt fall into a coma in my sleep. Waking up to test my levels and be in the 70'-80's Which is considered low upon waking up.
So 4 days ago I said screw this and quit taking me meds, and have been keeping a close eye on my levels, testing more often then I should, but not once have I gone over 160 2 hours after eating a meal and that is considered Normal.
The last few days I have tested I have come in the middle numbers of what is considered normal upon waking up, 2 hours after eating, and before going to bed. Looks as though changing my eating habit has allowed me to kick the pills and reversed my condition. I plan on checking this for a full 2 weeks and taking my finding to my doctor and getting his ok to throw the pills away.
To many this may not be a big deal, for me this is huge, and I am beyond happy and couldnt wait to share my result. Wanted to be sure the pills were out of my system before sharing my celebration.
