[QUOTE="aealexandrou, post: 2219973, member: 503484"] A year ago my blood sugar levels were fairly well controlled, with an HbA1c of around 38. Nevertheless, my T2D and neuropathy was not improving and my background retinopathy incrementally getting worse. To end that downward spiral I started a low carb high fat diet. I couldn't count calories or carbs, it was just too difficult to do so 24/7. So I just made the conscious decision to simply cut out most of the processed carbs in my meals. I threw out the porridge, stopped eating bread, soft drinks and fruit juices became a fond but distant memory. Pasta, rice, pizzas, and potatoes became a treat rather than a daily food. I then stopped seeing them as a treat and more often than not left on the plate uneaten. My LCHF diet turned into Keto without even planning it and with it the sensation of feeling hungry. My HbA1c is now 23. I have been off all medication for nearly 10 months. My advice, cut out every week an offending food or drink, rather than count out how much of it you can eat or drink. Go wholefood, go old school, eggs, fats, meat, green veg. Stop snacking. If your not hungry then don't eat. Give your liver and pancreas time between meals. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
