[QUOTE="Sid Bonkers, post: 207756, member: 19121"] That rings true Doc, I was put straight on insulin, well 3 days after diagnosis and almost immediately started to reduce my carbs to around 60g to 90g a day, I was quite anal about my portion control as well and after a little under 12 months and after loosing 4 stone (56lb) I managed to stop insulin, I am T2 obviously. I now eat slightly more carbs a day probably between 70g and 120g maybe as much as 130g a day and have managed to keep the weight off and keep my HbA1c firmly in the 5% range. I am still diabetic of course, just a well controlled diabetic who doesnt need to go ultra low on the carbs, Atkins or Bernstein style, just eat a good balanced diet in the correct portions to enable me to maintain my control and weight. How low is low, 70g to 130g is low for me considering the amounts I used to consume, dont we all set our own levels? [/QUOTE]
