Hi MrsA2
Congratulations on your weight loss and blood glucose levels, I am trying the low carb diet but how do you maintain your weight and blood glucose levels after you’ve lost the weight, how does it work when you no longer stay on the low carb diet because you’ve reached your goal weight.
I’ve been type2 for 22+years and finding even though I’ve been put on Gliclizide to regulate my blood glucose recently any small amount of carbs shoots my BG up. But on my diabetic review recently I was told we all need a certain amount of carbs to help our brain and body to function properly, any help on maintaining weight loss etc would really help me to keep it off.

I do stay with eating low carb, it is a way of eating for life, not just a short term diet.
I disagree that we need any processed carbs for body and brain to function properly. I am fit, well and intelligent and look very young for my age. I eat well, eating a variety of proteins, dairy, fats, veg, nuts and olives. I have a little fruit, local and seasonal but only about the equivalent of 1/3 of a portion a day. I drink alcohol in moderation, say 2 drinks a week on average. I eat 85% dark chocolate and cook my own low carb "treats".
Life I good on this way of eating, my weight maintains itself and my bg is still "in remission " Why would I wan to stop something that is working so well?
