Hi all new to this site but have found it incredibly helpful already, I am a 54year old male who was diagnosed type 2 seven years ago.
Managed to control it by diet only even though I am presently overweight (5ft 9in and 18st) but I do exercise four times a week for 1hour each session and go to the gym on lunchtimes when work allows.
Just started looking at the low-carb diets and tried some and have lost 4pound in the last two weeks.
