All carbs turn to glucose once inside the system, including wholemeal, which takes a bit longer, but nevertheless still converts to glucose. So it is important we cut down on all carbs. The main culprits are bread, rice, pasta, cereals, potatoes and flour. We also need to be careful with milk and fruit. In order to replace lost energy we need to increase our fats. Lack of fats and reduced carb intake leads to lack of energy, so no wonder your muscles are getting tired. You also need to take salt. So a low carb/low fat/low salt diet is not a good idea.  Cut the carbs, increase the fats and salt, and you will see a big improvement in your BS levels and the weight should come off, too.It is a myth that eggs and other fats will increase your cholesterol. This myth has been discredited. Too many carbs will increase cholesterol. You can eat as many eggs as you like, they are good for you. A wonderful breakfast is bacon and eggs, with mushrooms cooked in butter, and a tomato. I'm afraid the NHS dietary advice is way out of date, and not at all suitable for diabetics.Have a good read round, and do ask questions.This thread may help you. <a href="http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/a-new-low-carb-guide-for-beginners.68695/" target="_blank">http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/a-new-low-carb-guide-for-beginners.68695/</a></blockquote>
