I tried low carbing - between 50 & 100g a day but my cholesterol went up from 5 to 6 , I've had stronger statins & it's starting to come down again - back to 5 in a month. I am now scared to try it again as heart problems run in the family. I don't know what it did to my BS as I'm on benefits...

I recently had my hbac1 test & at 5.3 we decided that I was going to reduce my carbs & see if that worked before putting me onto any druga. So I started low carbing & bought a meter. First thing in the morning my results have been around 9.- 9.8 and my lowest 6.8 2 hours after eating...

I'm a recently diagnosed type 2 & am findin all the conflicting dietary advice confusing, but the one thing they all agree on is that you should eat to avoid spiking. I know what spiking is but why is it so bad?
