Anyone who is diabetic and also doing IP?
 

I am on day 3 and so far so good. I've had no terrible side effects! Yay! I am diabetic and was wondering if anyone else here is and how you weight loss results have been? Thanks for any info and encouragement!

I am diabetic. My diabetes nurse practitioner that I see quarterly was who recommended ip to me! Test your blood sugars! I was able to stop my medication within 3 weeks of being on plan! Work with your Dr! This plan is great for type 2 diabetes. I cant speak to a type one,....

I lost14 pounds my first month! Ymmv!!

My A1C went from 7.0 in March 2013

To 6.5 in September 2013

To 5.8 in December 2013

My M.D. told me in December that I am NO LONGER DIABETIC

My blood sugars actually came in line after only about 2-3 weeks on the IP diet (with daily ranges from about 90 to 119 just a few weeks in on Phase 1) -- however it takes 3 months for the A1C (which is a 3 month average blood sugar) to really show the results.

Thanks Sooo much ladies! So glad to know it's working for you guys!

Avalon, that's great news!!!

I was considered "pre-diabetic" Type II prior to starting IP. As others have indicated on here, within a week or two after starting IP I got very weak. Tested my blood sugars and they were in the 50's. I immediately made a dr appt and my dr pulled me off my medication. One of the great side effects of IP.

This is really wonderful..and should be enough motivation for a lot of readers here!! Congrats!
