[QUOTE="Diggler, post: 2518883, member: 552136"] I'm properly diabetic and when diagnosed in January set off on my quest to lower carbs but was hindered by what turns out to be out of date information. I struggled to cut carbs but eat enough calories because I was trying to avoid fats, the saturated variety in particular. Having read many books, it would seem that modern dietary advice allows many of those old demonised foods. So, full fat milk (lower in sugar than semi skimmed), full fat Greek yoghurt, eggs, cheese etc are all, apparently, OK now. I'm neither a doctor nor a dietician, so please do your own research. I found two books really helpful, Reverse Your Diabetes by David Cavan, which also has an accompanying recipe book, and Spoon Fed by Tim Spector. I got them both through the library. Following their advice my HbA1c is now about 40, it was 99 in January! And I have halved my drug dosage. Also my cholesterol and triglyceride levels have dropped to within normal ranges. [/QUOTE]
