[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1688173, member: 355878"] If you stick to low GI carbs then you will need the tablets - carbs are carbs no matter how they are labelled - unless they are labelled 'fibre' - when they are not. Seriously, though - I went low carb and in 80 days my second Hba1c test showed I was under the level for diabetes, second check at 6 months - normal. Yes it is a long journey - I plan to live for ever - so far so good. Dealing with diabetes seems to have been quite simple - but it is the same diet that kept me well all my adult life, with occasional interventions from distraught HCPs convinced that I was at death's door despite looking so well on it. I count myself lucky to have been diagnosed as it means I can tell those giving advice such as eat potatoes and beans just what they can do with them, and go back to eating low carb. It is very very effective in lowering blood glucose so if you are being medicated as for a failure to get control you need to be very careful. [/QUOTE]
