[QUOTE="CherryAA, post: 1914858, member: 327005"] Hi Rusco, You will need to discuss what follows with your healthprovider as the general advice is that those eating a low carb diet may not need insulin. The general practitioners council have issued an app led by Dr. David Unwin that doctors can refer to if they are unfamiliar with this approach. First of all, don't panic. Of course there is a lot to learn, Quite a lot of tht will relate to unlearning the things you thought you knew. for example what constitutes a good diet! So many of us adopted a low fat, diet full of healthy whole grains, and not much meat and THEN got diabetes. Within a few days here, you will likely decide to join the rest of us. A Low carbohyrdate diet, rich in animal proteins and fats and fresh above ground vegetables, limit fruit to berries only and stop eating anything beige - bread, flour, pasta, potato or with sugar in it. There is a low carbprogram you can work through on here and if you go to dietdoctor.com, you can see how to implement a low carb diet . The insulin istelf is unlikely to" resolve" anything - except the immediately high blood sugar. Diet can possibly resolve mot things including even needing insulin . In terms of kidney damage and other bad health markers, many of us find that thse improve or resolve with the change in diet. It is tough going for a start because your body will have become used to all the carbs in any standard diet ( even ignoring the treats!) . having said that on your new diet, butter, bacon and eggs, beef cream and avocadoes willbecome your new best freinds - so not too much to complain about there. My numbers were pretty dire to start with, but changing your diet willbring them down dramactially quickly. Good lucl [/QUOTE]
