How long long is reasonable to change medication?

Well done N & G the suggestion re a telephone call to the GP is an excellent one. I think 4 weeks is a bit early to decide whether these excellent changes are permanent but discussing it on the phone will sort that out.

Well done N&G. It is amazing, is it not , what losing weight will do.? I would arrange a new HbAC1 blood test in 3 months time. This will give you a good idea of how things are progressing. The LCHF diet is great for diabetics and there is a thread about it on GN. Also lots of advice on diet on Diabetes.co.uk.
I have never taken medication for my diabetes but manage it with diet. My GP has told me that I am no longer considered diabetic, so carry on with all your good work. It is worth it in the end ?

Thanks Tanith I did wonder if he'd think this was a flash in the pan after so many years of ignoring his advice

Meant to say well done.

I had this conversation with my GP last week and he said he'd like to see me in 3/4 months and check again and if things stayed the same he would review my meds.

That’s a good idea , I’ll arrange that.

I think it’s not so much the weight loss just eating the right things for my diabetes ...long may it last [ wink]

Why not have a telephone consultation with the GP and see if it's time to think about cutting down on the medication? You must be doing awfully well with the diet!
