[QUOTE="TriciaWs, post: 2078541, member: 475901"] I am sorry Karen but I would never give this advice to any newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic. They used to believe most of us would get worse over time, often ending up on insulin. More recent research showed this is not true if we adopt low carb or 'very low calorie' instead. Very low calorie can only be done under strict medical supervision but low carb is available for all or us, and with a suitable low carb diet many newly diagnosed diabetics can get into remission (ie blood glucose down into the normal range) and others can often reduce medication and improve their longer term risks. Many diabetic nurses, and GPs have not caught up with this even though officially the NHS supports low carb eating for type 2 diabetes. The Dietitians are working to older guidelines, such as the Eatwell guide that was designed for people without diabetes. I've been low carb for over a year and all my blood tests for the last 10 months have been within normal. And contrary to the old ideas, I also lowered my cholesterol and triglycerides into the normal range without drugs on a low carb, higher fat diet. I never eat rice, pasta, ordinary bread, oat porridge, etc. [/QUOTE]
