[QUOTE="Limelight, post: 669205, member: 115979"] I was diagnosed Type2 In June and told Atkins diet was a definite NO! I subsequently had an appointment with a dietician who told me I should have three meals a day evenly spaced and to include about 50 gms of carbohydrate per meal (a total of 150gm daily). I have tried to follow that advice by eating two slices of granary toast or Ready Brek for breakfast, a sandwich made from two slices of the same bread with some protein and salad for lunch and meat, fish or chicken with green veg and a few new potatoes for evening meal. SO far since diagnosis I have lost 13 kilos and my HbA1c has dropped from 7.3 to 6.4. My doctor says I can continue as I am without any medication. I don't eat sweets, cakes or biscuits except for the odd occasion (like my recent birthday) when I allow myself a small treat and I have a 10 calorie jelly pot with some berries if I want a dessert. Am I just incredibly lucky that this seems to be working for me? [/QUOTE]
