So, I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes at 15. Along with high cholesterol, and high blood pressure. In 2006. At that time I was shufflers between metformin and glyburide to control. I gained a lot of weight during two pregnancies and with the medications. In 2012 my son was diagnosed with low functioning autism. I knew right then I needed to make a change because I may be the only person he has in the future. I started a trial and error. I stopped all medication and took my risk at a LCHF diet. Within 9months I lost 80lb and my sugars were beautiful. Blood pressure, cholesterol beautiful. I became pregnant in 2012. I was controlled 7.5 months by diet during that pregnancy. I started glyburide. I gained no weight however while continuing my diet but less strict. Shortly after I had that baby in 2013 I became pregnant again. I was using medication on that pregnancy though.
After my last daughter was born in 2014(April) I started LCHF diet again. In 3 weeks I dropped another 9lb and was back off medication.
