I am one very happy bunny. January my diabetes went out of whack. Sky high readings. 11 %, thereafter strong meds which drive it down too fast leaving me groggy with reactive hypoglycaemia.
After some research I found the Lchf approach to managing diabetes, the advice which used to be given to diabetics back in the day and is now practiced in Sweden. It is not Atkins as it isn't high protein.
Most energy in the diet comes from fat, modest protein and very limited carbs.
This condemns me to a life of bacon, butter, cheese and double cream, avocado dark chocolate etc.
lost lots of weight and never feel hungry or deprived.
Been to see GP after three months 'to see how I got on.' Here are the results.
HbA1C 5.6 (38)
LDL (bad) cholesterol is down to normal
HDL (good) cholesterol is up and above the floor limit
Triglycerides are normal too.
I have been taken off the sulphonylureas as my control is so good.
I am my own case study. Now convinced, as are many others,current NHS for type two diabetics is wrong.
This is my future now
