I was diagnosed type 2 in May 2016 which was a big shock. I did a lot of research online (this site and Professor Tim Noakes) and decided that LCHF was the best course of action despite the NHS and Expert course advice, I went back to the doctors this week for my blood test results, I'm sorry but I can't remember what my actual result was but the diabetic nurse showed me a chart and said I was third from the top when diagnosed and am now second from the bottom in the excellent range. I was told I could stop taking the Metphormin that I hadn't taken since November and she said the doctor had said that if I keep these results for the next 2 years she will take me off the diabetic register. I cut my carbs down to approx. 30g per day, eat loads of broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, Brussel spouts, mixed salad, steaks, some smoked mackerel and pork chops for dinner. Breakfast is normally eggs of some kind and pork scratchings are my snacks. I have double cream in my coffee and have a glass or two of red wine with my evening meal. I have gone from a tight 48 inch waist to a 36 inch waist.
