There seem to be some very strange eating habits on here! I want to tell you all to eat MORE good food! Yesterday I ate: 2 poached eggs on 2 ryvita for b'fast, chicken salad and 200g strawberries for lunch, curry and cauli rice for dinner, pack salted pistachios mid evening and 2/3 tin of Aldi's...

I am so sorry Nosher, you say you never let your BG go over 6, please tell us what your HbA1c is. It ain't readily available. So sorry, I have a cynical bent.

Do the best we can for our health and our lives! With the knowledge we have. We don't matter in the scale of the universe, but think for ourselves and do the best we can. I want to live a long, fulfilling and healthy life. Who doesn't Controlling my DM means I will live longer with less...

I had a Roux-en Y years ago, lost weight, put on weight. So I have to eat small meals. I eat 200cals, 10g carb every 2 hours. It satisfies , I lose weight. Supposed to be healthy, eating little and often.

Yes, I took their silly advice and had my stomach restructured. I had a Roux-en-y. I thought they knew what they were talking about. Oh no! All I had to do was eat to my meter. I don't believe in ketosis. I am not ketotic, I control my DM, I lose weight. Heigh ho, it is such a complicated...

I only started this to avoid going blind. Hey! I got svelte and gorgeous! It's addictive! Fuel equations cannot be argued with.

I have to say: people think that low carb is all you have to do. No, it will take you so far, but energy in and energy out still holds. I would be 15 stone by low carbing. Cutting the cals sorted that. Calories count, there is no getting away from it. Eating 2000 cals on low carb may work for a...

Thank you 'andbreathe' I was hoping someone like you would come along! I eat far less carbs than I could get away with now. 20g carb raises my BG's to 5.5 and I don't let them go over 6.5 anyway (I aim for non-diabetic levels), so the Metformin isn't doing much. THANK YOU for that info, I will...

Pushing the boundaries? I do have complete control, but I want to sustain it. I want non-diabetic health risks and I want to remain slim. That is what is driving me. I never want to go back to that fat slob in a carb induced coma. The real sum of my success is if I can keep the weight off and...

Thanks I will look. There are many I know doing this, but it is against the system and the knowledge is new. Controlling diabetes by diet is obvious, sustainable, cheap, no side effects, no drug bills. It fills me with despair that the medical profession are only now, very slowly getting on...

Thank you. I don't believe the Metformin has 'done it's job'. It will still be having some effect. It is prescribed in 'pre-diabetes' and PCOS. I don't know where to turn for this info., my GP will not have the faintest idea about Metformin in controlled diabetes. An endocrinologist might, but I...

Hi Katie The HbA1c was purely achieved by never letting my 1hr BG go over 7.8 and it happened within a couple of months of eating to my meter. Indeed I could only manage less than 10g carb at a meal to do that. I have no worries about ever letting that get out of control. The weight loss stalled...

Hi I am a 58year old woman with T2DM. I have had it for nearly 20 years and virtually ignored it. 1 year ago I was diagnosed with early retinopathy, I weighed 21.5 stone, my BG's were running 15-20 and my HbA1c was 66. I found Blood Sugar 101 and followed Jenny's advice. Today, I weigh 13 stone...
