Poor old you. I found after many years that all diabetes scenarios are different - in my case I was advised about carbs, but found eventually that a completely fat free diet reversed my diabetes in 3 weeks. I am not familiar with your eating patterns, but it worked for me. i wish you well in your search for your answer.

I'm glad to share my fat free experience - I saw an article from american research that indicated that fats ingested suppressed production of enzymes that allow the blood to sense glucose levels and take action accordingly. Without those enzymes the body was effectively blinded to BG levels. Thought I'd give it a try and cut out all fats, visible and invisible. Results were startling.
I have dry wholemeal toast (with salt and pepper - don't mock!) for breakfast, two wholemeal baps with egg or salad or both for lunch and whatever the memsahib has produced for an evening meal. This is often casseroled beef, or pork with mashed potatoes and lots of steamed veg. Nothing afterwards. Bear in mind portion control and absolutely no fats. Tonight I'm told it's steamed cod with new potatoes and peas.
I can probably dig out the article and email the link to whoever might be interested
Best wishes
I'm told that lettuce is 10% fat but you have to draw a line somewhere. My meat is defatted, then dry roasted to remove all possible residues, then casseroled.very interesting, but you are eating fats in your eggs and meat. How do you account for that?
This is absolute nonsense - lettuce has 0% fat as any nutrition guide will tell you.I'm told that lettuce is 10% fat but you have to draw a line somewhere. My meat is defatted, then dry roasted to remove all possible residues, then casseroled.
It would also be interesting to read what the composition of the mouse feed in the study was. They are usually comprised of ghastly, cheap and nasty ingredients. Peter of the Hyperlipid blog (a veterinarian) is usually particularly scathing about the mouse/rat chow used in these types of studies, so I'd love to see his take on it. The full article and study seems to be behind a paywall, so pretty hard to say anything specific. The summary mentioned "hepatic steatosis' (fatty liver) then it's probably a fair bet that the chow had a high PUFA-6 content as that's seems to be the usual method used to induce fatty liver in lab animals. The Newcastle Diet seems very successful in reversing fatty liver/pancreas.here is the study it's more of an observation that a causation and from the article, really is why diabetes org uk said it was worth further investigation and not we have found a cure
it looks like it was a high carb high fat diet and is inconsistent with my lchf diet where I am losing weight while high fat and my BG is also good,
for 3 weeks or a month as you did it won't hurt, but you cant have HF and high carb or low fat and LC, fat and carb is a seesaw balance equal amount or more or less of one
the Newcastle diet is to remove liver and pancreas fat, which is also the aim of LCHF and I guess would be the no fat which by it's nature has to be a eat the same just no fat diet which will also remove the fat from the liver and pancreas
this will work as long as you don't have too much pancreatic beta cell death
eating fat and having excess saturated fat in your blood seems to be different from what I have read,
here is the study and I would like to read a peer review of what was done

A connection between diet, obesity and diabetes exists in multiple species....
induced by elevated levels of free fatty acids or by administration of a high-fat diet with associated obesity
this is why I have concerns, because insulin resistance comes first, then the obesity
Good for you Derek, it is nice to hear of other successes.I tried to be helpful, to offer an alternative viewpoint. I did say that I know all diabetes scenarios to be different. I have diabetes as an affliction, now under control, and not a hobby.
The fat free way worked for me instantly after 15 years of struggle with perceived wisdom. My metabolism is obviously working differently to others
by the way, lettuce is apparently 2.3g carbs, 0.94 sugars and 0.22g fat, per 100g, so my previous info was incorrect, as told to me.
Good luck to all and best wishes,

This might be a small and simple post of mine, but have you tried adding things like flaxseeds to your meal? I've started to put them with most of my meals, and apparently, if eaten with carbohydrate, it can slow down the absorption of carbohydrate which can make your BS more stable?Nope, I think it's time for insulin, you could try a couple of the new drugs, like the kidney one that passes sugar in your urine, but personally I like a drug to be on the market for 10 years before I touch it.
