[QUOTE="Pipp, post: 964519, member: 100904"] I was in a similar position twenty years ago. I gained weight after being disabled in an accident. Was advised by nurse at GP surgery to eat complex carbs at every meal. I followed the 'healthy' NHS diet guidelines diligently. I became pre-diabetic, was admonished by the HCPs for not adhering to their advice, despite the fact that I was. Interestingly, my husband and children were able to eat the carb recommended diet and remain well and slim. They were not, and are not fat though. I got fatter and got diabetes. You are already needing to lose weight, by your own admission. Your son has informed us here that he still has a lot of weight to lose. Also that he has not been able to consistently remain on a low carb diet for more than a day or so at a time. I do hope that you will be able to prevent your pre-diabetes from becoming the full on T2 diabetes. I know that the NHS carb laden diet did not work for me though. What did was losing weight with very low calorie diet, then maintaining good non-diabetic blood glucose by a low carb diet. [/QUOTE]
