Is very hard for me to take it. I,am very fit for my age not like some people I no with T2 who is well over weight

Ray, I'm not saying you need to diet mate. I'm just saying what you currently eat will have a direct impact on your BG levels. It's not about being fit or thin. I know it's not easy but 3 slices of bread lol ! Hey, I'm not trying to tell you off ! You're a grown man and it's your body ! People are taking the time to advise, encourage and support you so maybe it can be a little frustrating ! As I said before though, it takes time so keep trying !

Well done Ray ! Remember, this is a full time job now mate. You need to treat this as a lifestyle change rather than a diet.

Many doctors will recommend that you stick to the diet advised by Diabetes UK rather than a low carb diet. If you want to stick with a low carb diet though, keep it up! It's clear that it's already starting to make a difference :)
 
Hi. Mo. Thank you. For the advice but I,am. Hoping to come of all meds in six weeks time for this has I have just be. On the boarded line for a few years now my doctor says the reason why it gone over for was because of my steroid induce and if I can cut out the carbs all most my sugar levels will go back to normal fingers cross :)

Hi Ray,

There is some information on the main site about steroid induced diabetes that you might like to read.
http://www.diabetes.co.uk/steroid-induced-diabetes.html

We do have some members here that were diagnosed with Type2 after steroid therapy for various complaints.

Keep up the good work, you are doing very well.
 
That's the best way to look at it Ray and remember, you're not giving up all your favourite grub, you're just enjoying some new grub ! Simples !
