can't seem to find this, any chance of a link please ? cheers

would love to know if anyone has come across a genuinely low carb/high protein bar, been looking but haven't come across a low carb one with a decent amount of protein ? thanks

that's 6.08% in old money, how good is that ? very good going by nhs guidelines but it's a very personal thing i think, lots of us like to be lower than this, lots of people are probably happy higher than this too, if this isn't your 1st test result where have you came from in terms of hba1c...

when testing for spikes with different foods does the highest point in any resulting spike occur at the same time after eating regardless of what the food was ( i've read at 60 mins and 73 mins ? ) or does it vary with different foods ? thanks

thanks for the information, as a newly diagnosed type 2 i was as keen as mustard to drastically reduce both my blood sugar levels and my weight as quickly as possible which i have to great effect on my last Hba1c, i'm now trying to find a balance of carb intake that'll let me continue to lose...

i'm loving this thread, lots of really interesting info, i thought i'd educated myself quite well on how things work but i didn't know that your body converts protein into carbohydrate too ? i see everyones point about the nhs having to treat everyone as if they have no clue about their...

thanks for the info there how many years away do you think the nhs are from acknowleding that a low carb diet is an excellent way of controlling blood sugar levels ? it seems such a no brainer to me that i relly feel for newly diagnosed diabetics that follow the nhs advice on carbs and just...

just a little update, my diabetic nurse is over the moon with my latest hba1c result and didn't really acknowledge that i was low carbing although i very much doubt i'd have had this result on the 230g of carbs daily she was advocating, she doesn't want to see me for another 6 months. my gp is...

thanks for the replies, i did have a thought i'd like to run by people in a similar situation ? if i can stall my gp from taking me off the metformin for another few months until my next hba1c and knowing that your diet as you get closer to your test becomes more critical to your result, would...

just to update everyone on my progress so far i was diagnosed type 2 at the end of october 2011 and was given the usual advice, luckily i found this forum and commenced a very low carb diet in conjunction with a moderate increase in activity have just received the results of my latest hba1c ...

i never really understand why everyone seems to assume that low carb means high protein/fat , i now eat a very low carb diet and don't consume any more protein than i did before , infact probably quite a bit less thanks

i have been on a low carb diet for the last 7 weeks after being diagnosed type 2 i have lost just over 2 stone ( was 18st 8 now 16 st 6 ) still want to lose another 3 stone i always used to be very hot all the time and was particularly miserable during the summer , i even had the nickname "...

you're absolutely right there , people that don't know i now have diabetes have asked me how i've lost weight and i've replied " i'm following the type 2 diabetic diet " they're quite interested when i tell them , and it could be a good diet for a non diabetic to follow too cheers

thanks for the welcome and the great info , i have actually been feeling very positive about my diagnosis , perhaps i'm being naive but i feel it's been a wake up call and i hopefully the lifestyle changes i've made already will have a positive effect on my overall health just a pity it needed...

hi , i'm a 41 year old guy and was diagnosed type 2 about 7 weeks ago , hadn't been feeling great for a few weeks and as my dad and his dad have type 2 i popped into my local pharmacy to have a test , they told me to fast overnight and come back the next day which i did and to my horror the...
