Message: <blockquote data-quote="JenniferW" data-source="post: 886228" data-attributes="member: 191472">I'm recently diagnosed T2D, but have been getting pre-diabetic blood sugar test results for 9 years before this. All my results have been in the 6.5 to 7% range. In all those years when they were warning me this might happen, I gradually got myself back on the rails of a generally healthier sort of diet, definitely not low-carb. I'd spent much of my life as a vegetarian on a wholefood sort of diet, so I went back to lots of those habits. Then an Australian friend send me loads of info on low-GI diet and I gradually moved onto that. But I'll admit that years of nothing more than blood test results a bit too high, making the GP and nurses frown and tell me to lose weight and exercise more, I drifted away from the strict low-GI to more of a nod in that direction. Now I've crossed the line and am T2D, I'm gradually shifting to a low-carb diet, and although some of it seems very odd after years of wholefoods, I think I'm going to find it easier than I expected. Does that help? Have you read 'Reverse your diabetes' by David Cavan? That's my source of advice for now - he seems more into working out what works long, long term for you than some of the other things I've read.</blockquote>
