Message: <blockquote data-quote="AndrewU" data-source="post: 2594411" data-attributes="member: 554223">I have been T2 for ~12months, and officially in remission for 6 (although BS in normal range for 10). I went on Desmond at +3months and had a similar experience as the others, the dietary advice was wrong for me as it was to achieve weight loss (I was the only skinny one on the course) and my problem was in maintaining my weight as my diagnosis was triggered by rapid weight loss 2.5stone in 1 month, when my BS goes high my body consumes itself .In my case testing shows oats are OK, but other b'fast cereals are a no. I don't/can't eat bread, potatoes, cakes, pasta, processed food. I eat a lot of celeriac, swede and cauliflower to replace these. I play with keto recipes and have some great additions to my diet both sweet and spicy. I have never been a snacker but when i get the munches I eat nuts.I agree with the above advice test regularly to see what works for you. I also pay for a freestyle libre every couple of months to keep me on track.Exercise is good, for me even a 10 min walk or 15mins on the exercise bike can allow me to have a treat. Low carb is now a way of life for me, but I don't need to go 'no carb'</blockquote>
