[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 2053933, member: 245335"] I am a type II diabetic and I'm overweight and that means I have two problems. SW might help solve one of them if weren't for the fact that the more carbs I eat, the more insulin my body produces (c-pep shows my insulin production is in the normal range) and the more insulin I produce, the more likely I am to store fat. While I was eating carbs, strongly recommended by my GP at the time I had to take Rosiglitazone and then Gliclazide and Januvia which enabled my pancreas to produce even more insulin which resulted in weight gain. So cutting carbs for me was a no brainer. I think the basic principles of the likes of SW and WW are sound, but as we're diabetic needs some tuning to restrict carbs as well as calories. I have heard several people say that calories don't matter, it's not a principle that applies to all of us. [/QUOTE]
