[QUOTE="KeithT 2, post: 1863752, member: 469507"] Very well done and it is to be commended. Isn't it strange though, just the other evening a dietician who was interviewed on one of the news channels was saying that a low carb diet could take 4 years of of one's life. What is wrong with these people? Making statements like that without any clinical evidence shouldn't be allowed. I can attest to eating a low carb diet. Since cutting back on my own carb intake I have lost weight and reduced my type 2 BG numbers. My annual review is on the 29th of this month (August 2018) and it will be discussion time I think. Since January of this year my morning finger pricks are averaging 4.8 and at bedtime they rarely go above 0.6 mmo/l and are more likely to be an average of 0.5 mmo/l. I'm not saying I too am in remission just yet as this could mean that my management of the disease has improved - no pill changes yet. However, with the guidance of my diabetic nurse I might start experimenting with less tablets to see how it goes. The thing is, it is all too easy to say we have beaten diabetes when in fact we are just managing it well. Go back to a heavy carb diet and see where your numbers go then. I will err on the side of caution, but it would be nice to conquer this disease once and for all. It would be interesting to know what your numbers are now that you are off the pills. If you are controlling your type 2 by diet that's a good, positive thing of course, and we should all be aiming for that. [/QUOTE]
