Hi all,
I am male 47 and type 2 diabetic. I am slightly overweight and was diagnosed with diabetes a few weeks ago. I started with fright and cut out all sugar immediately and started having 3 meals a day I was amazed when I lost 7 lbs I was 16 stone at 5'9" bit of a pot belly but skinny every where else. I was also told I had a enlarged liver and fatty to boot (i dont drink alcohol).
Sorry I then spoke with some lovely people on the type 2 site and I noticed all the stuff about the low carb diet, i have been on it now for two days, any info on what I can expect to happen to me in the process of this diet would be great. Also could someone tell me why sweeteners are not aloud as I love them in my coffee as sugar is out now I can actually see my belly shrink and at the moment I feel quite full after a very small portion. I have also cut out all veg grown underground and bread ( bread almost as soon as I was told) i have been diagnosed type 2 and the only person I have seen is for the feet. My doctor said " Well your type 2" and handed me a sheet and that was it really.
As I said I've gotten some good info on the other section and I'm sure it will be no different here. I love this site, so many people have had some experience of everybody else. great info.
Thanks
