[QUOTE="fumanchu, post: 2645489, member: 39431"] Husband type 2, aged 77, been diagnosed since 2008, never been on meds, always diet controlled. Let things slide this year but now back on track and getting his numbers down. Both of us doing Bernstein (cos its easier than cooking separate meals), - started on it around the middle of August and he's sticking to it very well. A couple of problems appearing now though - extreme tiredness and puffy ankles. Any connection to the diet or is this something else? He does have heart & kidney probs but not been just this tired before and never had swollen ankles. Also is it possible that this diet is doing him harm rather than helping? It's impossible to get any medical person to talk sense about LC diets, they just keep shoving metformin at him. I should add here that he doesn't eat tons of cream and butter - I use olive oil so it might be a more Med-diet really, rather than pure Bernstein. [/QUOTE]
