9 weeks ago I had my hB1ac levels come in at 74, this was up from previous from 44. I immediately started a low Kcal diet of 800 Kcals a day with 4 litres of water. 8 weeks later I was tested again. My new level was 45, I was taken off all medication officially by the diabetic nurse. (I had already stopped taking them 4 weeks earlier)
9 weeks and 3 days after the first test I have lost 48 lbs and have more energy than ever. I still have the damaged nerves in my feet but none of the inflammation that caused it and the pain I was getting every evening. I can sleep uninterrupted.

Hi, I'm new so unsure of protocols here--but what is Kcals?
I have neuropathy in my feet--just from balls of feet through toes. Not totally numb so endochronologist has never been too worried about it, but leg swells and limits my movement, and currently one foot is dusky--much darker than the other foot. Didn't even know there were different types of neuropathy.
I'm interested in slowing progress but without drugs--I control my pre-diabetes with diet and herbs.

Hello @almighty, welcome to Connect. Thank you for posting. That is really great news that you were able to get off of all medication by changing your diet. I'm sure your story may be able to help other members with your symptoms. Are you able to share a little more about your diagnosis and details of your diet?
