I was diagnosed T2 in 2002 and prescribed medication from that date. Over the years my levels continued to be high and were increasing despite my following an agreed diet quite strictly. After a series of increased medication prescriptions I was eventually told that the next move was to be put...

After some 6/7 years of double digit BG's I discovered this forum and for the first time became aware of a low carb diet. This was never suggested previously by my local clinic, dietician or diabetic nurse. Incidentally I am a Type 2 and was first diagnosed in 2002 although my symptoms firstly...
