[QUOTE="cjm1538, post: 476898, member: 48451"] I have now been a T2 Diabetic for 15 years and have gone through the whole range of tablets an now I am Lantos + 4 Glicazide per day and my control has never been better. Metformin, the cheapest of pills, knackered my kidneys to such an effect that I am now Stage 3/4 Chronic Kidney disease - so far without any noticeable effect. What has this to do with you? I would say eat normally, of course avoiding sugars, but do not cut out carbs. The point about diabetes is that we are all different and there is no one rule to suit all. They say that most diabetics are over weight! Is it any wonder because most of the country are over weight but you will find as you go along that many more people who are not overweight are now being diagnosed with T2 Diabetes. There is another reason for being overweight and that is almost every tablet you are put on says that you may gain weight so you are in a no win situation. So my advice would be to eat sensibly and when the time comes go on insulin as soon as it is suggested. It has given me the best control so far!! I am, by the way now 75 and have been a keen sportsman all my life i.e done everything the medical experts recommend and where has it got me two new hips and knackered knees - so much for exercise and now of course that is not so simple.
