Hi Jinty a warm welcome to you and I think with your finding your way here as well as getting your head around what you need to do to move forward I'm very sure that what you want will be possible!Hi I am Jinty. At last accepted I am type 2 after a year. Using metformin not as regularly as I should. Testing fasting only at the moment. Like thought that I can be control so taking inspiration from the discussions. Want to improve my health, which really means lower weight, less a.m. stiffness and hopefully increase the chances of living well for longer.

Hi, I’ve just recently been diagnosed with T2 diabetes, so I’m still trying to get my bloods to the correct level , I will admit I’m struggling a bit after a lifetime of eating sweet food when I liked , but trying hard to be sensible and moderate with my food intake .... I will be looking on this site for ideas on how to live with diabetes .
Your doctor suggested cutting carbs. You may not like the answer but he's DEAD right. Worse news is that fat is good for you. Low carb high fat diets (LCHF) are for many many people on this forum, the solution, not what you believe is in fact the reverse.
