[QUOTE="Zilsniggy, post: 1832905, member: 222691"] Hi there, I see a lot of people here are advocating the Diabetes.co.uk low carb programme, but unfortunately they have recently decided to start charging for access. There are pages on Facebook, which are free and very helpful, and also contain a load of extremely helpful knowledge. I use one called 'Type2 Diabetes Rebels'. It's American, but has members from all over the world, and I have to say I have learned a huge amount through being on that page. They have a food list, various charts and viseos to explain the group philosophy, which is low carb high fat eating(under 20g carbs per day). It is a very helpful group, with admins who are extremely knowledgeable, but takes no prisoners. It's a tough love approach, so don't expect any sympathy, but it really worked wonders for me. I have followed their way of eating for nearly a year now, reduced my HBA1c to 42 , and reduced medications as well. The high fat way of eating would probably suit you, and after a few months on this diet, you should see ldl cholesterol levels and triglycerides fall, while hdl levels increase. It also helps with fatty liver disease, and other issues. An added bonus for many people is more or less effortless weight loss, while not feeling hungry. I'd say have a look at their pages, they are free and won't cost anything. they have comprehensive files, so most of your questions can be answered by looking there. I believe in some areas GPs can also refer you to similar programmes to the LCHF one here, but they may require some kind of financial outlay. You can only try it. A word of advice, you don't need to tell your GP that it's LCHF, just say you've changed your diet. I sometimes find as soon as you mention LCHF, they seem to blank you..... Good luck, you can do this! [/QUOTE]
