[QUOTE="NoCrbs4Me, post: 783557, member: 113206"] [SIZE=4]You don't need carbs. Or at least not much. I am at less than 50 g a day (just from fresh veg/berries) and many type 2s on here eat even less. I run 20 - 30 km a week (including a 10k on Sunday mornings) and lift weights several times a week. I actually have more stamina than when I ate more carbs. I never have very low blood glucose levels while I've been eating low carb, or very high blood glucose levels either. Your cravings for sugar and carbs will go away after a while without them. They are addictive!! Cold turkey works for most people, although the first few days are rough. This web site gives a good explanation of a healthy low carb way of eating for life: [URL]http://www.dietdoctor.com/lchf[/URL] This explains the science behind it: [URL]http://www.dietdoctor.com/science[/URL] I found this site the best one for me to get my head around type 2 diabetes: [URL]http://www.phlaunt.com/[/URL] And of course take a look around the threads on this forum and ask lots of questions here. Lots of people have gotten control of their blood glucose levels by eating low carb (see my signature below for a good example). Unfortunately a low carb diet goes against the official medical guidelines. Probably because there's not much money in it for the health care industry if you reverse your diabetes through diet alone and stay off their drugs. That's really the only reason I can think of why they tell us to eat lots of carbs. [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
