I need to loose about 4 stone and keep seeing posts about the keto diet, is this suitable for type 2 diabetics?

It most certainly is. Just take care if you’re on any diabetes related medication other than metformin as you’ll need to watch for hypos.

Plenty of us on here eating keto and successfully managing type 2.

Shout if you have any questions.

Hello @Freddy.2404 ,

The ketogenic/keto diet is about as perfect for a T2 as diets get. Practically all carbs turn to glucose once ingested, and as the ketogenic diet is a low carb diet, it'll manage your blood sugars as well as your weight. As Goonergal said though, we don't know what medication you're on. Metformin'd be fine, but most others can cause hypo's when combined with the diet, so do test your heart out eh.

Good luck!
