[QUOTE="Prem51, post: 1398303, member: 209498"] Hi [USER=311809]@engie1967[/USER] and welcome to the forum. It is a shock when you are diagnosed as diabetic and takes a bit of time to get your head around it all. There is a lot of conflicting views and advice on how to treat it. The 'official' NHS advice is to continue to eat carbohydrates. But starchy carbohydrates like pasta, bread, potatoes and rice turn to sugar in our bodies so aren't really good for Type 2 diabetics. Many of the T2s on here have adopted a Low Carbohydrate High Fat (LCHF) approach to eating which has worked in reducing our blood sugars, contrary to the NHS view that T2 is progressive, inevitably leading to more meds and ultimately insulin. All I can say is that LCHF is working for me. You should read round the threads and decide for yourself. [/QUOTE]
