hi I am from montreal canada. I was diagnosed with prediabetes in 2015 and t2d in 2017. when first diagnosed (pre) I was told to exercise to lose weight and eat whole wheat pasta and brown rice and to reduce the sugars. I went to see a nutritionist who put me on a low fat-calorie counting regiment. obviously I did not lose the weight and I progressed to full blown diabetes a couple of yrs later. obviously I was quite discouraged with the whole thing and I getting real nervous ad to what lied ahead for me. doing some research on the internet I came across denis pollock as well as dr Jason fung both on you tube and both preaching the virtues of low carb lifestyle. I came to find out about this forum through one of Jason fung's lectures. needless to say I embarked on low carb with a passion after reading lots of what members had to say about their experiences n this forum. my a1c has droped from a high of 7.4 to 5.6 taken a few months ago. thanks
