[QUOTE="Arab Horse, post: 1944924, member: 136328"] I too was given the standard advice of low fat and plenty of carbs but as I was a biochemist I researched and found Prof Roy Taylor and others plus many research papers and went my own way! As I had no symptoms despite a fasting glucose of 18.6 and an HbA1c of 10.4 and was not overweight I had clearly been diabetic for several years without knowing. I have not been able to get into remission and always have a raised glucose after eating (not as bad as it used to be so maybe one day?) but so far have escaped the symptoms except for "wooly" lower legs after eating if I haven't stuck rigidly to my diet. It is a disgrace that health professional are still trotting out the same old advice despite proof that it doesn't work and leading to amputations and vast expense to the NHS. If I had stuck to their advice I would be on insulin by now and probably waiting to have my feet chopped off!!!! [/QUOTE]
