[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 2177102, member: 355878"] For a type two diabetic, the problem is the carbohydrate in the modern diet. Many people, rather than chasing weightloss, concentrate on their blood glucose, bringing it down by eating the essential proteins and fats, and using perhaps 40 to 50 gm of carbohydrates to make their diet varied and interesting. That is what I did - and went back to normal levels of blood glucose in days, normal Hba1c in 6 months. I have lost probably 50 to 60 lb - I stopped weighing myself some time before diagnosis, my last recorded weight was 264 lb when eating a high carb diet, so officially just under 50lb. I never tried to lose weight it just happened. I'd not recommend consuming foods containing fructose in a regular basis, as the liver has to deal with fructose at once. It doesn't show up in blood tests, but it accumulates as fat in the liver. I have a small serving of frozen fruit maybe twice a week. Otherwise I am eating meat, fish and other seafood, eggs, cheese and yoghurt, with salad stuff and low carb stirfries. I have been classed as in remission since my last test, but as soon as I got the effects of the stodgy foods out of my system I was just so much better. Quite a few people seem to think that being overweight causes diabetes, and that - obviously - losing weight will cure it. Unfortunately type two diabetes often has weight gain as a symptom, not a cause, so for many, controlling blood sugar and carb consumption is the way to remain in the normal ranges [/QUOTE]
