I have had type 2 diabetes since 2006 and it has been controlled by medication. Although I was never obese, I carried extra weight for some years. My Hb1ac has been gradually rising and the medication has been increased to cope. However despite activity and weight loss down to a healthy 65kg, it reached 57 in November. A chance remark by a health professional set me on a low carb diet and by trying to stay between 50g and 70g per day I managed to get my levels down to 47. My weight also dropped to 60kg. Now I’m trying to maintain or reduce my Hb1ac level with decreased medication, but I am still losing weight and starting to look the worse for it. I am 67 years old and my aim is to get to pre diabetes levels. Could someone suggest how to get sufficient calories to maintain weight while still keeping carbs low? Sorryfor the long message
