[QUOTE="Muffmitz, post: 116656, member: 24155"] Coreservers - I'm afraid as a type II diabetic you can never return to a 'normal' diet. It isn't that big a punishment! You just have to be bloody minded and persist. Any diabetic not controlling their blood glucose levels is risking strokes, heart attacks, impotence and amputations. If that frightens you then it may make it easier for you to be on a low carb diet. The alternatives are not much fun. Most type II diabetics are addicted to carbs and that is the big problem. Just a few carbs puts you at the thin end of the wedge and your blood sugar goes shooting up. Stick to proteins and veg (and veg are actually slow carbs) and do not eat bread, potatoes or biscuits. On the low carb diet you will feel replete for longer and not crave snacks which are both high carb and very addictive. Keep trying! [/QUOTE]
