[QUOTE="yorkshirelad27, post: 2020356, member: 499479"] I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in January. My HBA1C was 61. I had evidence of a fatty liver and my cholesterol had been high for years. I originally took dietary advice from the practice nurse. I was advised the usual plate system with eating starchy carbohydrates such as she said, sweet potatoes. I did this for about a week and continued to feel unwell. It was then, that I turned to the forum on this site. Thankfully and I do say thank you to everyone who has advised me that I started a very low carbohydrate diet. I have found foods that I like to eat that are low and sometimes practically no carbs and have cut out alcohol and have the occasional glass of red wine. Since January, I have lost nearly three stone in weight. However, I got my three month blood results back from my GP. It is absolutely amazing. My HBA1C is 39 mmol, my liver function tests are all normal as are all my usual blood results. My serum cholesterol level is now 5.9 mmol, from 9.1mmol in January. Triglycerides have gone down to normal and HDL is very good and the only one that is borderline high is the LDL but I have read that the HDL will help the LDL. To say that I am happy is an understatement and now feel I can start to really live my life now and enjoy what I am eating like with the low carbs and I have a spring in my step again. Thank you people. [/QUOTE]
