Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dexterdobe" data-source="post: 1692051" data-attributes="member: 454478">That's very useful thanks.  Reading other members experiences has helped me to manage my expectations. I think the situation is confusing because a few individuals have successfully cured themselves in that they can eat reasonably normally providing they keep their weight down.  It seems to me (and remember I'm very new to all this) that these 'cured' individuals are the exception and that most of us have to accept that we will never again be able to consume carbs and sugar freely and remain in control of our BG.I'm resigned to having to eat a restrictive diet for the rest of my life.  Hopefully, I will be able to introduce occasional treats once I have reached my target weight, but I will never be able to eat freely again and weight control will be central to the long-term control of my BG.  If my GP is correct and my condition progresses, then at least I have tried and a lot of other health problems I have suffered from will hopefully continue to be less of a problem in future.  This seems to be a more realistic target than one where I expect to cure myself permanently.</blockquote>
