[QUOTE="youngmanfrank, post: 244109, member: 29375"] Forget the Atkins and the carbs ,that was a different way of looking at things,just look at your blood sugar levels.They are brilliant. I did the diet at the right time for me.Prior to diagnosis I was 16.5 stones,after two years of diet and exercise I was stuck on 13.5 stones and my blood sugars were high and going downhill.Post diet I swear my scales have broken as they are stuck on 12 stones whatever I eat. Eating whatever I like up to 1800 calories a day and not eating "diabetic" foods my fasting figures have risen and lie within a range of 4.7-5.5,always reflecting what and how much I last ate the day before.Off metformin my body is now in charge of regulating its own blood sugar levels and is coping well.On Metformin and on my diet my fasting levels were always between a narrow range of 4.7-4.9. All my diabetic complications have disappeared(mostly skin related) and mentally I have lost that horrible grey depression and now feel full of energy and really positive. You have lost the right amount of weight initially,it will tend to come off in lumps rather than evenly.If you can keep going longer until you hit your target weight you will stand a better chance of long term success.Do you have a target weight? Mine was always 12 stones,the weight I was as a young adult. [/QUOTE]
