I am currently awaiting blood results to see what type of diabetes I have. I was diagnosed three years ago. I did go on metformin, followed Dr Michael Moseley's diet and lost a lot of weight and got my glucose levels down to an acceptable level. Then readings kept going up and up until I was told I needed insulin, yet still levels are erratic, very high or very low. I am under the care of my local specialist diabetes nurse team, who did recommend I have 40g of carbs per meal. They are very supportive, but don't seem to accept that if I eat the recommended anount of carbs, not only would my weight increase, but the glucose levels would remain high.I find the condition rules my life and unless I am very, very strict with myself, virtually no carbs at all, the glucose levels increase to very high levels. I find the whole experience debilitating to say the least.Thanks for your patience while I rant.</blockquote>
