[QUOTE="KennyA, post: 2688834, member: 517579"] Hi Passionate and welcome. I would be very hesitant about saying low-carb is the [U]only[/U] way. However it has worked very well for me (I don't have any experience of anything else) and for many others - you can read a large number of accounts in the "Success Stories" part of the forum. As mentioned above, the typical diet is now very heavy in carbs and processed food, including industrial seed oils. I accepted the standard (since about 1980) advice to eat lots of carbs and avoid meat, dairy and animal fats. Previously, pre-1980, the standard advice for people wanting to lose weight was to cut out starches and sugars - essentially a low-carb approach. There wasn't a T2 problem then, so blood glucose levels didn't come in to it. My great-grandmother was T1 before injectable insulin was developed and she survived with the help of an extremely low-carb diet - otherwise I wouldn't be here. So there's nothing new at all about reducing carb intake to put less stress on your insulin response. This site has tons of useful information largely drawn direct from personal experience or valid published sources - you may have realised already that there is a lot of diabetes-related rubbish on the internet, often put there by people selling something. best of luck, and there's no limit to the number of questions you can ask.
