Way to go Fiona!
It sounds like you have got it all sorted. Your doctor and CDE are probably not happy about the low-carb diet. Allay their fears by having a kidney function and lipid profile test done now. And repeat the test every six months.
My experience over the last two years of low-carbing has been that my kidney function hasn't changed, triglycerides have dropped substantially, LDL cholesterol has declined moderately, and HDL cholesterol (the good kind) has increased a lot. This is an excellent outcome. And it is the opposite of what the endo expected. But it seems to be in line with what most diabetics on a low-carb way of eating experience. Go figure!
Cheers,
Mark
