[QUOTE="KennyA, post: 2423272, member: 517579"] First thing you have to do is clear your thinking of all the information you have had about what is healthy food and what is not. We are T2 diabetics and carbohydrate is the problem. The so-called "healthy diet " that the NHS and media has been pushing at us for the last 50 years is high in carbohydrate and fructose. Personally, I'm not surprised that the incidence of diabetes is increasing - that style of diet is causing it, in my opinion. Meat (all kinds), dairy, green veg, are foods T2s can generally tolerate (Incidentally - those sausages look OK but many are stuffed with a cereal filler and are quite high in carb. They need to be checked as you're doing). You're right that it's basically the Atkins - it's just that Atkins is generally seen as a (possibly short-term) weight loss diet and a low-carb lifestyle is about maintaining a low blood glucose level indefinitely, so that you avoid the consequences of diabetes. For context - I take in about 20g carbs/ day. I've put my T2 into remission and lost (so far) maybe 15-20kg. I'm never hungry. I take cream in my coffee and bacon is my friend. There are many unknown pleasures ahead of you. [/QUOTE]
