[QUOTE="Assegai, post: 328763, member: 40352"] I've been low carbing since being diagnosed as diabetic since last year (December 2011). Got a hell of a fright and basically ate only enough to stay alive lol. That lasted for about a month before I had built up enough knowledge to start adjusting my diet to something that suited me. I started eating 6 meals a day whilst low carbing and upping my protein intake. I was at 108 Kg's when I started and am now down to 80 Kg's. I think I would have lost more but with the extra weight gone I rediscovered my love of the Gym and have been hitting it rather hard the last four months. In this entire period I have maintained my blood sugar at between 4 -5 mmol with only one bad Hypo thrown in there somewhere. (Had a heavy hypo at work, 2.5 mmol, ate some glucose sweets, went home and had a whiskey, was halfway through the second whiskey and that was that, woke up in hospital with a VERY upset wife and a doctor who was convinced i must have polished a bottle of whiskey to get "Falling down drunk".). It was quite a rude awakening after everything had been going so well. :( . Anyway.. At the moment I'm focused more on putting on weight than losing it, Working on making it the good kind of weight though! :lol: [/QUOTE]
