[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 2004184, member: 94045"] Your yo-yo dieting was probably a result of low fat and low calorie. Low carb with extra fats is filling, doesn't lead to hunger, and is sustainable. Low calorie is not sustainable. At some point you have to give it up. Your diabetes nurse is very wrong and gave you dangerous advice. Gliclazide forces the pancreas to produce extra insulin. The fewer carbs you eat, the less insulin you need. If you eat fewer carbs you will have excess insulin in your body and this can cause hypos. This is why you have to tell the DVLA (if you drive) that you are taking Gliclazide. She told you not to do LCHF because that goes against what the NHS promote at the moment. It is the high fat bit they don't like, not the low carb. [/QUOTE]
