[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 1167465, member: 93179"] I've managed to keep my diabetes at low "pre-diabetic" levels for almost two years now mainly by eating a very low LCHF diet. Like [USER=221545]@pleinster[/USER] I too believe that I'm carbohydrate intolerant and have no doubts that if I started eating more carbs again that my glucose levels would go back up. My GP has told me I'm well controlled, and I think that, realistically, that's all I can ever be now. I've suffered all my life from chronic migraines, which I can control by medication and watching what I eat. I may go for months sometimes without getting one, but I know for certain that if I scoff enough food that triggers them then I'll get one. And I treat my diabetes exactly the same way: it can be controlled by avoiding high carbohydrate foods but it's still lurking there.... I accept that there [B]are[/B] some people, like our own Andrew Colvin, who may be able to go back to eating "normal carbs" and their bodies are able behave like non-diabetics' again, but I think in general people who believe they're cured because they've reduced their glucose levels down to normal may well be living in a fools paradise. We need, though, to have confirmation from them that they have maintained these results after going back onto on a higher carb diet long term, not just that they've achieved their levels on a lower carb regime.
