[QUOTE="Chook, post: 1471786, member: 24561"] You might find your DN isn't keen on the idea of you eating a reduced carb diet. Mine certainly wasn't and neither was my GP - but the way I see it, it will be me that suffers diabetes complications not them. Yes, I agree that getting BG under control is more important than losing weight. I found it all happened a good bit quicker than two weeks mainly because, by then, I'd worked out what was causing the problem (carbs) and couldn't bring myself to eat any of the major ones (even pizza). I controlled my BG reduction using fruit - basically eating very low carb with fruit and slowly reducing the amount of fruit. Not that I'm suggesting that fruit is a particularly healthy thing to eat but it was easy to measure, spread throughout the day and slowly reduce. If you need support or advice just ask and someone (or all of us) will do our best to help . :) [/QUOTE]
