[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1615915, member: 355878"] But you need to have fats - they are an essential food group, and also do not cause the release of insulin, which normally in type two diabetics is very high. If you eat any meat, fish, shellfish, eggs and some cheese, plus the amount of carbs which you can cope with but not raise your blood glucose to dangerous levels then there should be a change in your metabolism for the better. You can use fats for energy - it is a process called ketosis - when your blood glucose is low you are not in danger of ketoacidosis, and ketosis is a perfectly normal process which most people see for some part of the day. Do you have a meter so you can monitor your own blood glucose? Edit Ah - I see that you are a type 2 on insulin - in which case you need to balance the carbs you eat with the insulin you take - you can't do as I did which was just lower my carbs until my blood glucose levels dropped to normal. Once I did that I lost weight without trying - over three stone now, but my case is different from your own. [/QUOTE]
