[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2449563, member: 401801"] Haven't been in the same shoes, but can see where you're coming from... Basically, diabetic label from your GP or no, your body doesn't handle carbs well. Repressing T2 symptoms doesn't mean you're suddenly non-diabetic or cured. That's basically a thing that's for life. We can improve our insulin sensitivity some, but once we start eating carbs again like we did previously, we're right back where we started. So just go from the assumption that if the HbA1c is correct (when are you having the second one? How many months between the first?), you're basically prone to T2 and will have to stick with low carb to keep from getting into diabetic levels and complications. It's your safest bet. Of course, there are more methods to follow, but personally, the whole low carb thing was my weapon of choice... And it worked. [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/blog-entry/the-nutritional-thingy.2330/[/URL] might help. I'll be honest with you.... A lot of people who wander in here did get their diagnosis and they're as lost as you are. There's very little proper help out there because GP's and their practices are overtaxed (now especially), aren't usually very knowledgable about T2, and, well... A lot of people just feel left to their own devices. I know that's probably not much comfort, but you're not alone. You've got this joint. Be good to yourself eh, and ask whatever comes up in your mind. Jo [/QUOTE]
