[QUOTE="enb54, post: 2025330, member: 503649"] Was first diagnosed with T2D in March 2000 (prescribed 500 mg metformin twice a day) and used a blood glucose monitor to determine myself what happened when I ate or drank various foods, then adjusted my diet accordingly. In 1 year (after losing 60 lbs) was removed from metformin by my physician and basically had normal blood glucose levels until re-diagnosed in March 2019 (had regained 40 lbs plus other poor eating habits) again with T2D. Was then in a frenzy scouring the internet and libraries for the latest info and was shocked that there were still arguments about what T2D treatment and diet was best. Decided to do what I did before but had read a few more books, especially "The Diabetes Code" by Jason Fung and decided that this was similar to the regime I had followed back in year 2000. The whole food plant based diet (WFPB) is also similar but extremely difficult to implement and stay on long term if you are a ravenous omnivore like myself. My attitude is anything that works is better than blindly following the government's diabetic food plan, which I tried back in 2000 and if it didn't work then and hasn't changed much, why should it work now? After nearly 20 years you would have thought that effective diet changes for T2D would have been discovered, tested, publicized and implemented. Fortunately, I will just eat and drink the same way I did nearly 20 years ago, using the much improved blood glucose monitor to gauge my food intake accordingly. I also believe that after I lose the 40 pounds of fat that I regained I'll be much more diligent about keeping it off. Thanks all for being here, there was nothing like this forum 20 years ago...
