I was lucky as I already knew that low carb could get T2s into remission - with a better chance the sooner you start.
I managed to get my GP to agree to hold off on the drugs while I tried low carb, with the help of the lowcarbprogram - in some areas you can get this 'prescribed' so you don't need to pay.
I did not find the local dietitian helpful, she kept telling me to eat more carbs even though my blood glucose was already dropping into normal levels.
Beyond Dr Unwin's poster there is a lot of helpful information in here about the carb levels in food, suggestions for swaps and recipes.
