[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 332526, member: 21149"] Hi. We are all different with regard to our diabetes, so may be you are finding it more difficult than some just as I have done. If you are overweight and not used to a smaller diet, then insulin resistance may be the key diabetes problem and tackling the diet may help quite rapidly. May be you are not in that position so it may take longer. How old are you and are you overweight? These factors can influence the diagnosis. Many of us move on to medication fairly quickly and this may be true for you, so if the low-carb diet, exercise etc doesn't deliver after a few weeks then do see your GP and discuss starting some meds. BTW, cooked root vegetables can be fairly high-GI carbs. Raw carrots are always better than cooked. Cheese is generally on the agenda for diabetics. [/QUOTE]
