[QUOTE="thebristolrover, post: 1479819, member: 184312"] Hi Seagal75. Sorry to hear you've been diagnosed with type two. Firstly let me try and reassure you, that it is not all doom and gloom. I've been type2 for a few yeas now. At first i didn't really pay much attention to my condition. Have to say here, that i didn't get much help from my doctor or diabetic nurse in the beginning. Anyway. Cut a long story short. Just over a year ago my Hba1c. Was 98. By last christmas i had got it down to 43. And therefore more or less no longer diabetic. But once diabetic always diabetic im afraid. This was done without any medication at all. All done purely on diet and exercise. You have started off on the right foot. Low carb is the way to go. And you can also look at something called the keto diet as well. Try and get as much exercise as you can. And try and loose weight. Not easy by any means. But if you can, it all helps. There is an excellent low carb programme on this web site. That you can follow. Which is what i also used. Get yourself a carb counting book. And armed with that and low carb programme you will be heading in the right direction. Obviosly cut out all the sugar stuff. Pasta rice bread and potatoes. Plenty of veg. Watch the fruit as some can be high in natural sugars. The more i got into it. The more determined i was to reach my goal. Also you don't need to keep going back to the docs for blood tests.
