[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 2198127, member: 93179"] I lost about 20 kilos which is roughly half I actually [B]ought[/B] to lose, and have since kept both my weight at that levels and my glucose levels at low pre-diabetic for six years. I currently aim to eat a maximum of around 50g carbs a day. But I actually reduced my HbA1C down from 61-62 to a just on pre-diabetic 47 in the 2-3 months after diagnosis just by avoiding all the obvious sugars and starchy carbs and this reduction happened [B]before[/B] I started noticeably losing any weight. At that point I didn't have a meter, so have no real idea of my actual carb levels at that time, but my weight loss trigger came later and I believe was due to cutting carbs right down to 20-25g a day for a few weeks, roughly following Atkins (induction phase) as suggested by my GP. Robbbity (who possibly comes under the heading of a stereotypical fat and lazy old T2 :eek: :D) [/QUOTE]
