I am just so fed up with all these programmes and articles saying 'oh go low calorie/low carb for 8 weeks and you will be cured'. I have strictly stuck to 600 to 700 calories a day and less than 10 grammes of carbs for 10 weeks and i have seen only a very slight reduction in BG. Admittedly i started at 30 grm of carbs but that quickly came down. I have lost 2 1/2 stones since april 1 but the bg is not cooperating and all the ' i cured my diabetes in 2 weeks' is really making me depressed and feeling like I am a failure. This is all compounded by one DN telling me I was definately diabetic and another telling me i was pre diabetic. My daily range of BG is usually between 6 and 7, sometimes early morning and late evening it's 5.7 and sometimes it goes up to 7.5, with a couple of 8.1's thrown in for good measure during the afternoon. I really can't eat any less so I guess it is just a matter of waiting to lose the rest of my excess weight and ignoring any more articles and programmes.
