[QUOTE="Sketcher, post: 587872, member: 47909"] Coming at this a bit late but I have managed to achieve normal BG readings through low carbing. I did it in three stages over the course of a year: at each stage I had a HbA1c and my dose of Gliclazide was reduced until I could come off it entirely; all done in consultation with GP and DSN. To combat the digestive effects, I eat masses of salad (easy on the tomatoes), above-ground veg like cabbage, spinach, cauliflower; and frequent use of virtually carb-free fillers such as Eat Water Slim Rice and noodles (Ocado and Holland & Barrett) but the best is "barenaked noodles" (H&B) which are much more like pasta than the Eat Water products. With all of them you just rinse and then sling them in the pan with whatever you're having with them: bolognese, chilli, curry, etc. I also use a bread substitute which is mostly seeds; it does have some carbs but only about a tenth of the lowest carb breads that you can buy ready-made: Sukrin bread mix (from Amazon). It's expensive but a couple of thin slices at breakfast means that a small loaf will last me more than a week; you can keep it in the fridge because there's no wheat in it to go stale. I hope that helps. Regards Tom Sent from the [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig]Diabetes Forum App[/url] [/QUOTE]
