Hi, has anyone who is a Type 1 tried the Lighter Life diet ? I have just started the new 2:5 diet that you can buy from the chemist but was wondering if there was any reason why I couldn't carry on and do it for longer ? The food packs seem to be pretty much what the Lighter Life total ones are. I'm in reasonably good health diabetes wise but I know if I ask the Dr if it's OK he will say no because it is always easier for them to say no rather than risk any problems. I really do need to lose weight as since my hip replacement and bad back I have been piling on the weight and that is impacting on my sugar levels and my ability to exercise. Any experience/thoughts welcome please
