Hi there
I do keep carbs to about 150g/day which is about half of Eatwell recommendations, but no I don't have any BG issues. After diagnosis I lost about 100lb over about 7 months but my BG was under control after only a couple of months. The only ecercise I took for the first 6 months or so was two 30-40 minute brisk walks a day.
All I can say is just stick at it. I'm not keen on too much fat so tend to eat a lot of fish, game and white meat though I certainly don't avoid it (ice cream is my biggest weakness).
I don't believe that I was ever diabetic, just insulin resistant due to visceral fat around my liver/pancreas which is probably why I have not found things too difficult.
Best wishes, MR
