[QUOTE="lowcarbfan, post: 31824, member: 8240"] [b]Re: Success stories[/b] Hi Fergus and all you low-carbers out there. Been a long time since I posted as new job and other stuff got in the way. My partner has been a type 2 for 3 years now. We found the low-carb diet quite by accident when I was trying to lose weight and low-carbing talked about keping blood sugars steady so you wouldn't feel hungry. So I couldn't see why it wouldn't work for a diabetic. Did some investigating on the net and used a shed load of testing strips to monitor the results - which were astonishing. Despite the clinic advice, low-carbing works. My partner does not take ANY medication yet his levels are rarely above 8. Blood lipids are also very low. He has lost weight and gained so much energy. It has become a way of life, which I wish more people could benefit from. However, I am still regarded as a 'crazy' because we have adopted a diet which doesn't fit the accepted way. People will insist that it is ok to eat the chips/rice/pasta on offer and seem really offended when we decline. I try to explain it as an 'intolerance' to carbohydrate - this sometimes helps. There are some great cookbooks out there too. Keep going with the forum - I can see the growing support for low-carbing even in the short time I have been a member. [/QUOTE]
