Please forgive me if this subject has been posted before, but I need input. I have mentioned to my husbands diabetic nurse about my husband going on a low carb diet but she refuses to discuss such diets and just enforces the "healthy diet/ portion control with everything in moderation diet". Since my husband is a type 2, on insulin and has an appetite that must be satisfied at each meal or the sweet tooth will kick in, this attitude isn't working. His blood sugars sea-saw on a daily basis and we cannot seem to get an even keel. Having 2 diabetic parent myself, I am aware of the long term dangers of this. Some of side effects of diabetic he is experiencing is getting slowly worse and all can be checked with a more balance blood sugar. He and I, are getting more and more depressed about the whole thing and unless something is done, I know he will give up altogether as he is seeing no results from his efforts..
I have tried to find a low carb diet that will give some kind of regiment to his eating patterns as I feel we would both benefit from this type of thing. Weight watchers/slimming world is out of the question. Having gone on the Adkins Diet(many moons ago) my self, I know how effective low carb diets can be both for weight and sugar control.
I feel sure that if I can get him to try a low carb set menu diet for a week or two and he can see the benefits both in weight loss and control, it would change his mind set.
Please, where would I find such a set meal low carb diet menu?
