[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2346327, member: 401801"] Hi Rubette, I don't know how old you are, but I was diagnosed in my 30's and have a few decades left in this body if I don't walk under a bus, so I don't feel like I have much of a choice: I'd better take care of it if it's supposed to last with some quality of life to go with it. I also don't know what other chronic issues you have. Most of mine were rather helped with going low carb, for the most part. (The ones that didn't get better on it, certainly didn't get worse), but that's me... What works for you, you'll have to decide. What are your priorities, what is important to you? If you're happy with insulin and possible other medication, while eating whatever you wish, medium low carb or "normal" carb.... Have at it. [I]Just make sure you make an informed choice.[/I] Not that you let things go because 'who cares', and then, 10 years from now you're missing a couple of legs and wonder what went wrong. Keep your blood sugars in range as much as you can, in whatever way you can. Be it with medication, or diet, or both. Take care of you, in whatever way fits you and your needs best. Not just your body but your mind too, and your life in general. It takes a little while to find your own path, especially with all the contradictory information, but your meter and your body'll let you know what's working for you. Good luck, Jo [/QUOTE]
