Became fatter and needed more meds by following nhs food guidelines. I now know my body cannot tolerate carbs white or brown.  I’m dealing with it now but so wish I’d had access to good info all those years ago. This website has loads of helpful info. Please do self test and find out which carbs, not just sugars, affect you and if you can, get a free trial of a CGM. I found that invaluable in giving me info about what spiked my glucose. Lentils and porridge was a huge surprise. For me, I can tolerate a little carbs in my evening meal but not at other times in the day. I try to stay around 50-75 carbs per day. Others manage around 130 but some restrict their carb intake to under 20. Finding out there were 10-12 carbs in a single plain biscuit was an eye opener. Best wishes on your journey.</blockquote>
