    Carb Counter

    I used a great one which worked a treat. ..after 3 months of use I'm non diabetic. It's called No Carbs....just don't eat them. Don't buy them. Don't put them in your mouth. Eat veg instead of the rice, flour, starch....Carbs are bad for T2Ds. It works....and it's alot easier than counting...

    What to Eat! EASY.....

    The Low carb High Fat regime is specific in advocating no root veggies....radishes are a root veg. Anything grown above ground is fine in proportion. ...who wants to overdose on cabbage or kale....yuk....it takes some reading to get the gist of the advice but it works.

    Most people with type 2 diabetes will also eventually need to use insulin.

    Also.....cheer up. ....it's not a death sentence. .just a diagnosis. ..and as long as you do the right thing you'll most likely end up as a rickety pensioner. [emoji6]

Unfortunately the diagnosis is for Life. ...but...Following this regime allows me...
