[QUOTE="ringi, post: 1568957, member: 410240"] [SIZE=5][B]Sorry you don’t have any safe options just the great risk of going on as you are with ever increasing insulin resistance and the lower risk of doing something about it. [/B]Waiting until the NHS is willing to provide medical support to you with Low Carb etc is not an option, as you may be dead by then.[/SIZE] Apart from diet, resistance training (wrights) and high intensity interval training has been proved to be of great benefit with reducing insulin resitance. In a lot of area there is a system where GPs can prescribe excise and you get free gym membership plus a expert instructor for a few months – ask your DN about this. As to the level of carbs, I think you should remove ALL carbs you can from your diet, then once your BG is under control without meds you can consider what carbs you can add back.
