[QUOTE="Braithy31, post: 1965491, member: 499031"] Of all the things I have been trying to do over the last 10 years, low carbs wasn't one of them, my last visit to a health professional didn't go well, the dietitian gave me a booklet, pointed out what I should be looking at and asked me if I had any questions and here I had watched several programs on low carb diets in some cases reversing their T2. I had seen a study several years before by Newcastle University that had suggested that a daily calorie intake had reversed some of their study group, the dietitian at that had no idea what I was talking about. The dietitian I saw recently hadn't seen any of the programs, they didn't hold with anything other than their mainstream plan in the booklet and had no knowledge of a low carb diet reversing T2. I came away non the wiser, however, the government are now pushing a low calorie diet to be offered to diabetics of 800 calories a day, this is not helping and all I wanted was to know what foods and how much of them I should eat, and what portion size, here no one has given me any idea and so, my wife does the usual shopping and buys the things she likes and I cherry pick what I think I should have and reduce my portion size, so far I have lost approx. 23lbs over 3 years and now stand at 17 stone, and stuck on that for 1 year so far, my visit to the dietitian yielded nothing, I need help. I exercise regularly on an exercise bike and I am an active 70 year old in the Armed Services Community in the OL postcode area. I am on Metformin and Vildagliptin My mmol is down from an average of 9 to 7 and that is stuck too! Any ideas please I'd be grateful for a long term fix Graham [/QUOTE]
