Hi everyone , I used to be an avid poster on here and the forum and low carb advice changed my life and health for the better.
Bit of background.. I was diagnosed type 2 April 2013, listened to the HCP and ate the healthy carbs etc ... Guess what it didn't help ...
About 4 months later after reading a lot on here about low carb I took the plunge to the world of low carb and activity . It was like a miracle and I felt so much better .
Unfortunately in 2018 ( various reasons) I lost the plot and pushed the boundaries. My BS and HbA1C went up a bit ( not huge amount but out with normal range ) sooo I'm taking back control of my eating , back on the low carb programme. I'm 2 weeks in and already seeing the difference.
So why am I writing this ? Well just to warn people not to become complacent about eating etc , don't be daft like me have 5 years of success then ignore it , it will probably bite you in the bum .
The really crazy thing is that I like veg and berries etc so have no idea why I ate all that cake and Tesco Rhubarb pie .
Thank you DCUK and low carb programme for helping me yet again .
