[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 890299, member: 21149"] For the 'classic' overweight T2, the right diet may get blood sugar back down to normal. It will normally need to be a low-carb diet but the amount of carbs can vary from person to person as the degree of diabetes will vary greatly. If, like me, you are nearer to T1 than T2 at diagnosis GPs can be useless as their training doesn't cover anything out of the ordinary. My two diabetes GPs just didn't get it and I had to use my knowledge from the Internet. Luckily my excellent DN has been great with providing my change to insulin. You may have been OK with NHS advice but many haven't been as the knowledge thay have can be very limited and it can be a matter of luck. [/QUOTE]
