[QUOTE="KennyA, post: 2609642, member: 517579"] Hi Marc, and welcome to the forums. When you say you're now eating more healthily, what are you actually eating? A lot of us here have found that the current "Eatwell Plate" advice that the NHS regularly gives (basically, eat a lot of carbohydrate) plus what passes for "healthy" eating advice in the media, is postively damaging for T2s. All carbohydrate is digested to glucose, and by definition T2s have real problems dealing with glucose. The other thing piece of advice that follows on from that is that I found testing my blood glucose (with a meter) before and after meals to be the best way of identifying what my system could and couldn't cope with in terms of carbs. Best of luck. You can turn this round, with a bit of time and willpower (if you've done marathons you already have the willpower), and I'd advise having a look at some of the "Success Stories" elsewhere on this forum.
