[QUOTE="KennyA, post: 2306225, member: 517579"] I was diagnosed T2 last December and went low-carb immediately. No medication, HbA1c was 50mmol/l. After reading this forum I bought myself a meter and tested before and after meals etc. This gave me immediate and positive feedback that the low-carb was working and working fast. By April my HbA1c was down to 36mmol/l.... and I've lost five inches off my waist measurement. So given my experience I'd strongly advise getting a meter and testing. Some GPs seem to think that testing will stress the patient, and we're too delicate to be able to cope. On the courses - they all stopped by March in this area (W Yorkshire) and no signs of anything changing. Parts of mine were excellent, and parts were not. T2 patients advised to eat lots of high-carb starch by a diabetic nurse, and to avoid carbs as far as possible by the dietician, does not make for a clear message. [/QUOTE]
