Hi everyone
had the best news ever today my doctor rang and told me I can come off insulin been type2 diabetic for 11years on insulin 7yrs.
I have tried really hard this past year I really wanted to get off insulin but wasn't sure it was possible for a 66yr old .Im going back
on metformin and reduce insulin as needed,Hopefully I will be able to loose weight It just wouldn't come off no matter what I did
can anyone help me what is the best information on carbs.

wow! thats amazing!!!! best information on carb is to not eat them hehe, what would you like to know? the most common question is how low should i go, its just my opinion but by going to 30g a day i lost a shed load of weight and havent put it back on so that works for me but many have lost weight on a higher carb count upto 150 a day its a difficult one to answer, it depends how much of the typical bread, rice pasta and spud your prepared to go without, have a read of the low carb section on the forum, it should answer some questions

amazing fantastic and awesome well done
