Hello All,
I’m a Type 2, diagnosed 4 years ago and now controlling my blood glucose levels with a low carb lifestyle. Early after diagnosis I was very lucky to find the websites Blood Sugar 101 and DSolve. Without the knowledge gained from these sites there was the very real possibility that I, in dire need of help, would have given up and following the NHS guidelines.
I have managed to get my HBA1c down to 5.2%, Total/HDL cholesterol ratio down to 3.5, triglycerides down to 0.7 and blood pressure down 115/75.
I eat very low carb, moderate protein and high fat – animal fats, coconut cream, double cream in coffee, olive oil and butter but definitely no margarine.
Over the past 4 years, business and family commitments have meant that I did not have the time to seek further information on diabetes (apart from the two web sites mentioned above)> Now that these commitments have reduced I hope to take a day or two to read recent posts and see if I can make some contribution.
