Hi
Yes I try to low carb under 125 grams per day. I trained as a therapist devising bespoke diet and exercise plans for people and started counting carb units to research whether it was an effective way to lose weight in the 1980's as part of my college course. Other students tested other diets. The 2 most successful were counting carb units and the breakfast like a king supper like a pauper diet. restricting carbs has been the only successful way I've lots significant poundage.
I was diagnosed a year ago and have lost 35 kilos about 5 and half stone restricting carbs. I try to eat 5 small meals a day with no more than 25 gms of carb at any meal.
My fasting glucose levels have been nice and steady between 4.8 and 5.4 I do combine with exercise (static Bike highest resistance) 3k for about 15 to 20 mins per night 1 and half hour after last meal.
Seems to work for me and the only extra cost was the initial cost of a decent static bike with a distance heart rate and calorie monitor :)
