I thought i was doing everything right for almost 12 years.....following the 'correct' diet. Turned out if I had I would probably be dead by now !  It was only after arriving here early last year and finding out what was a good diet for ME that things turned around.Weight loss of over 5 stone, Bg levels all 98% on target. That was using Byetta which is a great appetite suppressant, reducing my carb intake and using low GI/GL methods which meant much smaller portion sizes at each meal, no snacking as I was never hungry. I used a side plate for my main meals.As for sounding like your GP.....well, there are a lot who do give sound advice. We then have to work out if it is the right advice for ourselves and adapt accordingly. Further medication such as something like Gliclazide can bring down Bg numbers but can also increase weight so not exactly ideal. You really need to discuss all the other drug options with your GP if you are sure the diet is fine. Sometimes the 'healthy eating' diet promoted by the NHS/DUK is not ideal. Hope you manage the right way for yourself, mine obviously works for me.Ken</blockquote>
