When you are off meds and controlling …

your diabetes with proper diet, does that mean that you are no longer a diabetic? BTW I was/am Type 2.

I lost about 35 lbs and my doc said it was okay to stop my meds since they were keeping my blood sugar too low. I was taking 1000 mgs of Metformin 2x a day, then 500 mg of Meformin in the morning and 1000 at night until I finally stopped taking meds altogether. I have been off meds for about 4 or 5 months. I decided recently to cut my calories more to lose more weight, it’s been less than a week and I have started having trouble with my blood sugar. My numbers are now dropping. I was keeping a steady 100 – 105, 106. Now I am dropping to 80-90. This would be alright except that I am feeling shaky. I’d hate to waste time seeing my doc if this is nothing, just my body adjusting. Any thoughts?
