I have been on LCHF for about 5 months now (about 35-50g carbs). The aim was to bring blood sugar down in order to help neuropathy symptoms. This has worked pretty well. I don't need to lose any more weight, just want to keep blood sugar low and stable. I'd like to increase my carbs a bit to say 70g, but I'm finding if I introduce new foods my blood sugar tends to spike. I've invested in a Freestyle libre so can monitor it very closely as I test different foods. Just wondering whether I will need to be pretty low carb for life, or whether I should look at the Newcastle diet. Does the Newcastle diet actually cure diabetes/prediabetes ? Or is it just the dramatic weight loss that brings blood sugar down ?
