Hello @fatismyfriend and welcome.........you have no idea how your attitude brings hope to those of us who have struggled with the snot nosed and biased "I'm a HCP, I know best" types over many years.........many of us have been harangued and belittled because we couldn't manage to make happen what they thought we should accomplish........we have a saying here that may seem silly to some but "unless you live with diabetes of any type on a daily basis you have no idea of the frustration it produces"........its a moving goalpost on a moment by moment basis and what worked yesterday may not work today.........but at least Low Carb gives us a fighting chance of being in the right area some of the time.
I am a slim non producer t2 and been on insulin since diagnosis and whilst I cant do the High Fat bit because of other problems it has helped me reduce my need for insulin to what I consider much more reasonable levels, so fewer hypers and hypos, resulting in my latest hbA1c of 39.....putting me in the non diabetic range but my need for insulin remains.
