I started out on insulin then full dose tabs now reduced by half and hoping soon to reduce them even further so for me what I am doing works for me.As Cugila said I accept that everyone is different and we all respond to different ways of treating our diabetes and I am happy for people to do it as it suits them - I know that if I tried to stick to low carb long term I would fall by the wayside big style and have to start all over again -  and yo-yoing like that  would be far more damaging than the lifestyle I have adopted now - the one I know that I can do for the rest of my life</blockquote>
