[QUOTE="abseil12, post: 1389798, member: 98271"] SO...when they wanted to put me on metformin for T2, I asked to be given a chance to get my diabetes under control with diet. I went low carb and reversed my readings to a non-diabetic's. Then I stop watching my diet and the BG crept up so that I am now on metformin! So, I had been trying to go back to a low carb diet which was all well and good but my cholesterol zoomed upwards due to the higher fat content. Then I tried the low calories diet but just found that too hard - mostly because I am pants at planning. Then the diabetes dietician said I should have carbs to have a balanced diet, just not too much of them. I love pasta, potatoes, and rice, yet found I could give them up without missing them too much on the low carb diet but I compensated with cream as I don't like olives or avocado much. I need to lose weight as well as get my BG under control so I have even contemplated the Newcastle diet - but that has mixed reviews on this forum too. PLEASE, can somebody tell me, should I go back to low carb as it worked for me and if I do, how do I do it without raising my cholesterol? Or should I do a "normal" diet with just less carbs? ARGHHHHHH!!!! [/QUOTE]
