[QUOTE="CherryAA, post: 1399098, member: 327005"] [URL]http://nutritionandmetabolism.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1743-7075-6-21[/URL] The day I was diagnosed I was clueless but I was lucky enough to find the above piece of research . Buried in there is this sentence "One female patient had an increased physical activity level during the study period in spite of our instructions. However, her increase in physical activity was no more than one hour of walking per day, four days a week. She had implemented an 11%-carbohydrate diet without any antidiabetic drug, and her HbA1c level decreased from 14.4% at baseline to 6.1% after 3 months and had been maintained at 5.5% after 6 months." The research as a whole said to me, low carb is good news, the specific lady in question seemed like a good role model and the lower the carb content seemed to be the better the result. The graphs showing the Hba1C reductions looked very promising. Then I found this website where a whole bunch of people were doing the same thing. At that point I thought - No I'm not taking the drugs, I've obviously been living with this problem for a while now, I just didn't know it, so I gave myself 3 months to fix it myself and I've achieved as good results as the lady in the study plus a weight loss of 4 stone. People recommend the LCHF diet because it has worked for many of us and its tasty as well!. Good luck [/QUOTE]
