[QUOTE="sanguine, post: 658337, member: 101256"] Brilliant Ian, very similar to my experience, except I started low carbing almost the same day I was diagnosed after coming on here. My main incentives were to give two fingers to the doctor who informed me without any other help offered (although they are not all like that); and to avoid any medication if at all possible (I just don't do drugs). Low carbing was the only way for me to do that. Members of this forum gave me the information, inspiration and support that enabled me to bring my blood sugars back to non-diabetic levels (OK only just, but it's a marathon not a sprint), lose 18 kg to get back to normal BMI, get blood pressure to 120/65 and feel fitter than I have for 20 years. And there's some great craic as well. I would list a few who have been of particular help but I don't want to embarrass them or inadvertently leave anyone out. Help like that also encourages you to do the same for new members who are in the same boat. [/QUOTE]
