But there are some, maybe many cases that could be resolved by weight loss and exercise.  If you have already lost the weight down to a healthy BMI and are doing the recommended mins of exercise a week and still are stuck then i understand the dilemma.  If not, its hard to say that it wouldn't work if you did it, all i can say is that it worked for me.  (the fact its a metabolic condition is accurate, but if that condition is triggered my high BMI and low muscle mass leading to high insulin resistance then it can be fixed by changing those under lying issues provided your still producing enough insulin).I was HBA1C 87, now at 30 by loosing weight and exercising more.  Yes i changed my diet drastically, but i could if i wanted eat lots of carbs now because my system is able to cope with it - it couldn't before.The trick with any of it, is that if you go low calorie, but dont exercise then as soon as you start eating more again you pile weight on.  if you go low calorie and exercise then you have more control over two aspects.  Like i can eat more one day but i have that in my mind when im excersising and maybe do that extra 30mins.  Over all its a totally lifestyle change and i have found it works.So im not saying others experiences here are wrong, im just saying it should only be judged by people have done it and done it properly to the letter and its not worked.  I certainly think if you just follow the NHS diet you wont get better, but Diabetes is not a condition that requires LCHF to manage as the only option.Its like some one saying LCHF does not work because i tried it for a few weeks and had the odd sarnie and baked potato and my bloods were still high and i didn't loose weight.  You have to commit to the treatment and follow it properly, i would guess the new NHS method may well help some people get them selves out of the care system so good on the NHS for funding it.</blockquote>
