[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1640405, member: 355878"] If you are a really lucky type two like me then eating a low carb diet will sort out the diabetes and get things back to something closer to normal. I avoid anything with a high percentage of carbs - ten percent or under, and limit the amount of the things at the higher end of that range - but once you get used to having mushrooms courgettes or sweet pepper, cauliflower, or huge salads along with the meat and fish or eggs or shellfish - well it seems to be just fine. I started out by trying to stay under 8 mmol/l after meals - that seemed to be the number to aim for, as if I stuck to it I then noticed that the numbers for the same meal began to drop a little each week. Soon I was seeing under 7, and the Hba1c came back as not even diabetic at 6 months. So I'll need to on eating this way for the rest of my life - not a problem. I am getting thinner and more energetic - what's not to like? I tend to have some carbs with my first meal - I eat twice a day - as if I don't my numbers tend to rise. My main meal in the evening has far more carbs, but I seem able to cope with them then, far more than first thing. I also have my meals spread out in the day - that helps me, but other people fast for long periods in the day - it is something you need to work on and see how you react to things as what works well for one is not so good for another - though for type twos most carbs are bad news.
