[QUOTE="tracydowse, post: 1022537, member: 233736"] Low carbs really do make a difference and I wish I had known that 10 years ago when I was diagnosed with type 2. It has been a steady decline for me with rising blood sugar levels and many different tablets along the way. Last January with a hb of 65 my doctor decided it was time for insulin I asked him to give me 3 months and started researching on this wonderful forum. Low carbs seemed the way forward and I had nothing to lose. I started to eat no more than 100 grams of carbs a day and based my daily meals around the recipes on this website, they include many full meals and are all carb counted for you, this made it so much easier as the meals are very tasty and there is plenty of choice. I also try to walk a good couple of miles a day. I have just been to the doctor for my latest tests and he was absolutely amazed my hb is down to 48 (which it has never been before) he says that it is almost at pre diabetic levels. I no longer need any medication other than metformin and I have lost 4 stone in weight. The doctor told me that diabetes is a progressive disease and you will always get worse but my results go to show that this need not be the case - even after 10 years. I am now trying to control the diabetes and not let it control me. Good luck [/QUOTE]
