[QUOTE="Arab Horse, post: 2047448, member: 136328"] [I acknowledge that this all points in the right direction, but I just cannot get to grips with the fact that I must live like this now forever! :([/QUOTE] How I wish I was in your shoes. You certainly sound as if you would keep your glucose normal with limited carbs. I am the opposite of you; a "skinny" T2 so can't go on a starvation diet. I was diagnosed quite by chance (no symptoms) with a fasting glucose of 18.4 and an HbA1c of 10.6! I am 5' 3" and weighed just under 9 stones. I recently had my second hip replacement and went from 7 stones to six and a half stones and struggled to put the weight back on, in the end I just ate carbs and ignored my glucose (within reason) for a few weeks. I have always struggled but the best thing I found was just having breakfast and lunch and then nothing else. I just eat mainly protein and veg with some fat. When I eat in the evening my morning glucose is always high, it is still high now but lower than when I ate in the evening. You need to find what works for you and stick to it most of the time. I don't worry too much when we go out for a family meal as it is quite a rare occasion and I have a small roast potato and Christmas pud with my dinner! [/QUOTE]
