If people with type 2 diabetes produce too much insulin and insulin triggers us to feel hungry, how do people stop themselves feeling hungry without getting into the cycle of - feel hungry, eat, bg rises, too much insulin produced, feel more hungry ? What are people's top tips?

Eat more fat. It fills you up. Fats like olive oil, avocado, full fat yogurt, coconut oil. Fat satiates.

Dislikes

Diet drinks - the artificial sweeteners taste vile.
Having to forswear foods I have loved all my life.
Trying to find low carb meals when eating out.

Cup of bullet resistant coffee in the morning (bullet proof coffee without the coconut oil).
That is a cup of coffee with a big knob of butter topped up with double cream.
Fills me up at the start of the day and kills hunger.
Protein snacks any time of the day such as cheese rolled in ham, nuts.

Definitely eat more fats and protein instead of starchy and sugary food. You may have to work at it while your body goes through slight sugar withdrawal symptoms, but it's well worth the effort when you see how much lower your glucose levels are as a result.
