[QUOTE="Jeannier9, post: 1567029, member: 413185"] Omg...... This is my first post on this forum, as I was only seeing the typical T2 eating methods and management, but then read this today. Up until this moment I thought I was the only one of a few doing a LCHF living methodology. My doctor is the only one in our area that has studied this in depth, and researched those that put forward other methodologies, a lot of whom are subsidised by the very industry that provides our medication. How motivated is that industry to help remove T2? Not at all. That impacts their $$$$. When first diagnosed (May 2017) I had to work extensively with my doctor as both the diabetic coach and dietician were both focussed on the typical 'lots of small meals' throughout the day etc. Since starting, my Metformin has been cut by 50% and I've lost 22 lbs, and still reducing. Those at my office have asked about this lifestyle, as they have seen the benefits. Although I'm still wading through the 'bible' my doctor told me to read "The Obesity Code" by Jason Fung, which is a HUGE eye opener, although very dry reading, as a big food lover I find getting through the week a little tiresome food-wise, as an ex-pat Brit, I spent my life eating meat and 2 veg and miss the baked and roast potatoes and all the traditional British foods, but love the once a weekend 'cheat', making everything worthwhile. :) Did I say I was excited to know how many others are also following this? hehe [/QUOTE]
