[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 1066815, member: 88961"] Many folks find they can tolerate carbs a bit better as their body normalises and repairs itself, usually after a period of trimming the carbs and their waistline. I completely and totally agree with you about diet being utterly paramount in fighting T2. My take, at the outset was if I could modify my diet, into ideally non-diabetic ranges, but remained diabetic, then that was my given lot. If I focused wholly on weight loss, as I see some newbies do, expecting their bloods to follow their weight on a downward trend, then I'd be absolutely shattered if I lost a shed load of weight, but my bloods were still unsatisfactory, so I focused wholly on diet for bloods. Just one point about your "sensitive bladder issues"; without asking too much detail, that sort of chimes with me. I too sometimes get a sensitive bladder (of course could be completely different in nature to yours) whereby I have increased frequency, but very modest output, and discomfort whilst achieving the output. My solution has been to use these symptoms/feelings to signal I am not drinking enough and to jack up fluids, rather than any eating modifications. That works for me every time. I must and it, I am a bit of a maniac for making my self-diagnostic questioning begin with a simple, "are you drinking enough", as so, so, so many issues relate to dehydration - especially when low carbing and in ketosis. That may not be relevant to you, but many folks have commented on how much better they feel if they up their fluids. I don't know whether you had this issue rear or re-rear it's head in your winter or summer season, but here, in the Tropics (for now), I have to be far more mindful of fluid intake than in the UK. Nice to hear a good success story, and good luck with your onward journey. [/QUOTE]
