[QUOTE="Hooty, post: 2044414, member: 505969"] Thank you for your replies, they are much appreciated. It does seem as if the NHS advice is out of kilter with almost everything I’ve read! Is there anyone who has followed their recommendations and found them beneficial? I know that while my diet has generally been conventionally “healthy” in that I have generally cooked from scratch and included lots of fruit, veg, dairy, fish, limited red meat/processed meat, I have always had a sweet tooth and a lot of meals have been quite heavy on the carbs. Because I’m slim I’ve never been too concerned about modifying my diet. It makes absolute sense to me though, to reduce carbs overall in order to reduce blood sugar. At the moment I’m trying to have one carb-free meal each day, and a much, much smaller carb portion for the other meals, along with cutting out sugary foods completely (I have always enjoyed puddings before!). I tried cauliflower rice which I enjoyed. I don’t quite understand why the saturated fats are preferable to unsaturated? I am happy to eat plenty of cheese, butter and cream though! Is it usual to wait 6 months for a follow-up blood test? [USER=488381]@DianaMC[/USER] is the course you are going on one where you attend weekly? [USER=475901]@TriciaWs[/USER] the rhubarb crumble sounds delicious! [/QUOTE]
