Hi, I wish you a Safe and Happy New Year.
I was diagnosed in 2014 as type 2 diabetic.
Life and sh#t hit the fan, and only now am I ready to deal with this di - ease.
I have taken myself off all medication as they do not work in harmony with each other, nor with my body.
Question! What is the best slimming group (if any). Would be the best for me to work alongside.
Thank you.
 
There is www.dietdoctor.com which has lots of low carb recipes, videos and things to read. If you join, there are more of those, plus you get a plan if you like.
 
Most "slimming groups" that I'm aware of adopt the low-fat/high carb approach. This doesn't work particularly well for non-diabetic people (you just have to look at the amount of repeat business they get) but for anyone with T2 upping carbohydrate intake is likely to be ineffective and to cause a worsening in the condition.

I took up low carb to control my blood glucose. I wasn't aiming at losing weight, but in four years I've lost a quarter of my starting bodyweight. You'll find that lots of people have achieved similar or better results the same way.
