This says nothing about the quality of life though. Portion control is only part of the answer, obviously if you are going to scoff 3500 cals a day you are making a problem for yourself longterm (moreso if most of those carbs are highly processed) but I see no reason to starve yourself if your weight is OK and your diabetes is well controlled and not dependant on drugs. Better to just be more sensible about what you eat as a lifestyle, and not look at it as a short term diet. For me that means low carb which i not only find to be highly sustainable but considerably more enjoyable than what I was eating when I followed the so called healthy low fat high carb diet. Been doing this for over a year now and I love it.Sent from the <a href="http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig" target="_blank">Diabetes Forum App</a></blockquote>
