I’ve done well and controlled my diabetes on just cutting out sugar and a few high carb items like bananas and bread etc., then fell off the wagon big time.  My next effort at control required I give up more carbs and out went the rice and pasta and milk etc.  My Gliclizide was increased to 80mg a day which I got down to 40 mgs a day.   Then I went to Australia to visit family last year and really did some damage.  I came back and was put on 240mg Gliclizide and regularly found myself touching 12 to 15 all day every day, with no hypos.  I finally went Keto with fantastic results.  However I don’t appear to be following the same Keto that people here seem to be talking about.  I do Lo Carb Hi Fat but veg oils are not part of it, nor is large amounts of meat and I include Milk products such as 5% Greek yoghurt.  I research a lot using the Low Carb Downunder website and others, The Low Carb Downunder has very many different speakers including Tim Noakes, Ben Bickman and others.  On very different subjects.  I recently watched a great talk from the doctor from Southport.  I’ve come to my diet through being very stupid at times and doing very different diets.  This one works for me but it may not work for you.  My body no longer tolerates carbs well at all but that’s my fault.</p></blockquote><p></p>
