I have discovered the way to go....... High Fat Low Carb, been on a seesaw for ages now. almost non existent carbs. the only carbs i eat are Cruciferous green vegetables. the rest is MEAT. steak. pork, Lamb etc..always cook with extra virgin olive oil.. and it works. i also eat so much less than i did before. i eat 2 meals a day, 4 egg omelette with cheeses. in the a.m. and whatever meat i fancy with veggies in the p.m. am losing weight big time, my blood sugars are rarely above 7 mmols. i have quit beer/lager and have the occasional bottle of wine with absolutely no effect on blood sugar. i feel great. the neuropathy in my feet has decreased unbelievably. no shooting pains and finding it increasingly more comfortable to walk. and this has been religiously carried out over a period of 3 weeks. i cannot believe how good i feel. i shall be working on this for the next 3 months. cannot wait for my Hba1c results and seeing my diabetes specialists face. roll on November. let's Marvin Gaye and Get it on ! cheers all Gaz
 
We have been lied to for years by big corporate money greedy consortiums. time to fight back. !! I will never believe any carb advertising advert again. i have seen the light and i am convinced the only way forward is LCHF. ask any eskimo. it takes some time to adjust to eating fat, and i mean good saturated animal fat, kick out all that processed **** !!. i will never eat it again. okay i missed looking at all those cakes and ice creams and sweet sugary foods. now i drop kick anything that looks like a carb. and i never felt better. I am over the moon with my results. and i used to inject over 200 units of insulin every day. now...... after 3 weeks i am down to 50 units daily. and i am dropping down every day i wake i up with BS of 5.6 mmols. Thank you internet for introducing me to education on high fat diets. Gaz
 
Wow, it's great to hear such passion. Well done on your progress so far. Keep it up.
 
Excellent, your posts have given me a smile! I’m sure you’ll keep it up, it’s hard not to get almost evangelical!
 
Great to hear that your neuropathy has got better, @Gazzamius1, it gives hope to others who have it.

Thanks Prem51..... it has only been 3 weeks. i am interested in how my type 2 will fare in the long term. especially now i have got my head around the eating issues. Gaz
 

I too have recently started the LCHF diet and am so impressed with the results, like you sir my blood glucose levels sit in the 5.0 - 6.5 range yet never above 7.0. It's been about six weeks, where I'd usually be hungry an hour after a meal containing carbs, I'm no longer digging through my cupboard for a cheeky biscuit. I feel more alert, less stressed and sleep better. well done to you , glad to be on the journey with you.

Well Done. I can concur about Carbs. My diabetic nurse has been wanting to put me on insulin for the last three years. So two weeks ago I decided to completely avoid bread, pasta and potatoes, thus enjoying meat, cheese, etc. My fasting blood sugars have dropped from 10+ to between 5-8 in a morning. just need to find some good low carb recipes... keep up the good work
 
www.dietdoctor.com loads of them..
 
Snap, same results for me, very rarely feel hungry, lots more energy and feel more alert, sleep so much better and my diabetes has gone into remission, lots of weight loss too which is amazing considering what I now eat compared to what I ate before going LCHF.
 
Nerves cannot regenerate, but neuropathy is not always a permanent damage and can be improved with low carb diet (my experience, too).
