[QUOTE="miahara, post: 1651612, member: 256148"] Hi [USER=461211]@ashbash28[/USER] and welcome to this rather exclusive club! You are in the same position we all were in when first diagnosed - totally bewildered and overwhelmed. There is so much to learn and it doesn't come quickly. I'm two years since diagnosis and I still learn something new every week largely thanks to DCUK and its members. I can't comment about your thyroid condition, but I do know from experience that for myself and a great many other T2s a LCHF diet does have a remarkable influence on lowering blood glucose. I also know, as you seem to do, that ready meals/takeaways are packed with sugars and carbs and are best avoided, so stick to your guns on that issue, it's your health you have to think about first and foremost. You've already shed a significant amount of weight, but I wouldn't worry too much about a halt in weight loss, managing diabetes isn't a sprint it's a marathon. From what I've been reading/viewing recently exercise seems to be largely incidental in managing weight loss and is secondary to intake of carbs/energy, though exercise does have many other important health benefits. To add to the suggestions already made regarding materials etc, the book by [B]Dr David Cavan, Reverse Your Diabetes[/B] is a good primer about about diabetes and diet, it helped me understand the condition and how I could adopt a diabetes friendly diet and has been significantly helpful in reducing my own BG to a pre-diabetic level.
