Blood Sugar / 5:2 Diet

Hi Hibby65
Like you I had some success with a low carb diet then in 2012 had a heart attack.
I have now got my weight back down to acceptable levels and am in remission with a Mmol of 39.
My only problem is with cycling, I need a certain amount of carb intake to offset the massive calorie loss per ride. Sometimes just taking 30g of carbs per hour is enough, though I do take food with me in case of a mishap with the blood sugar dropping too low. Generally speaking a low carb diet has now become the norm and I have to accept this is part of my lifestyle, along with no alcohol or smoking. Lots of exercise and make everyday special.
You have been successful in the past so I wish you luck and a good heart to try again to treat your symptoms with some TLC.

Intrestingly there seems to be a bit of controversy over exactly how Tom Watson lost his weight!
Dr Moseley has written extensively in the Daily Mail about how it was his 5:2 diet whereas Mr Watson and Dr Aseem Malhotra seem equally convinced that it was the Pioppi diet. I asked Dr Malhotra on twitter and he maintains that Tom Watson did it via Pioppi and as I have seen pictures of the two of them together I think I'd go with that. Dr Moseley and his missus seem to be all over the media claiming "reversal" but rarely crediting anyone else.
