Depends on whether you want to remain in remission or go back to the diabetic range.
Yes but if you are maintaining a healthy weight a healthy diet then why would you?
Ok another question , if you lose weight down to a healthy weight for your size and maintain that weight, what does that mean for diet, surely if you are in remission and maintaining a healthy weight you can relax on the carb counting?
Or am I totally wrong !
Because it's not about being overweight. The weight is a (possible, as not all T2's are overweight) symptom of not being able to process carbs. You might become less insulin resistant when the weight goes, but if you add carbs back in you'll be right back where you started. With the weight back where it was, too. You have a metabolic condition that can be controlled by diet. I don't know how "relaxed" you want to go with the carb counting, but I would stick with LCHF. Maybe up the carbs a little if you miss them so much, and see what happens? But always keep an eye out.Ok another question , if you lose weight down to a healthy weight for your size and maintain that weight, what does that mean for diet, surely if you are in remission and maintaining a healthy weight you can relax on the carb counting?

Don't really miss carbs or chocolate which is a miracle, I do miss my Sunday roast tho or meals out not being a pain in the ass! At home I will eat this way forever quite happily and easilyBecause it's not about being overweight.

It'd go back into the diabetic range if you go back to eating carbs on a regular basis. I don't see the harm in occasionally having some, but, you know... Your meter'll tell you.My point is since diagnoses I've been eating low carb 15-30g a day, I've lost 2 and a half stone in just under 3 months, a healthy weight for someone my build is 12-13 stone I'm currently 15 . Assuming I achieve remission in 3 months( I had a early diagnosis which was good well 54 anyway) if I stay at a healthy weight and low carb 85% of the time, I don't see why it would go back into diabetic range! I'm talking a carvery on Sunday here or the occasional meal out? I've been very stricked so far
With people who are TOFI (Thin Outside, Fat Inside), there IS fat there to get rid of: right on the liver and pancreas. You can't see it on the outside, but an ultrasound would pick it up. So there's ground to be won there. And uh... I know I don't get peaks like I used to, but when I eat something that's bad for me, I still get them. Not as bad, but they would be there. I'm three years into low carb, one year of which keto, and 25 kilo's lighter than when I started out. This isn't a matter of months thing. It's basically for life. Sorry.Does that mean if you are slim at DX you will never become less insulin resistant as you haven’t lost weight? I have maintained my Hba1c for just over a year but even taking a nibble of something carby can make my levels shoot up. It seems I may never be able to choose to treat myself, although not that I want to!
@Paulm80 you do not need to miss out on a carvery - Just load your plate with plenty of meat and veg. I am lucky in that I seem to be able to tolerate a higher number of carbs than many on this forum and tend to average between 100 to 130g carbs per day so just at the outer limits of being low carb and include high protein bread and potatoes in my diet. I have also maintained my hba1c at non diabetic levels for 5-6 years. If you want to eat other foods when you’re out why not test at home first to see whether or not you can tolerate more ‘carby’ foods?Don't really miss carbs or chocolate which is a miracle, I do miss my Sunday roast tho or meals out not being a pain in the ass!
