Message: <blockquote data-quote="BenCP" data-source="post: 2516354" data-attributes="member: 550534">A quick(ish) question….I was diagnosed T2 last August when my glucose level was averaging 14 -15 mmol/l. Having read this forum and looked at other research, I went as close to zero carb as I can. The result? At my diabetes review in April my glucose average was 5,8 mmol/l. I’ve also lost 3 ½ stone in weight which, let’s face it, I needed to do.However, my blood pressure, which was pretty stable at 130s/80s is now 150s/90s and I wondered if this is related to diet?I now have skyr with a nut and seed mix and cream for breakfast. Lunch in usually cooked meats and cheese. Dinner is usually chicken, lamb or pork with LOADS of green vegetables.As always, my doctor wants me to take additional blood pressure medication, in addition to the lisinopril and amlodipine I’ve taken for years but I’d rather fix whatever made it go up in the first place.</blockquote>
