[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2622447, member: 506169"] Hi Martin and welcome to the forum In my opinion that 'Preventing Diabetes' course was very poor. It sounds like the dietary advice is the Whole grain Low Fat advice that gave me T2 diabetes in the first place. If you exclude drugs and surgery, then there are 2 broad ways or reversing or avoiding diabetes. The first Is really only for obese people - lose a lot of weight. The second is to do what I did and have a Low Carbohydrate way of eating (no conscious calorie reduction). As a slim(ish) T2 diabetic this is the one I chose. I took no medication, had no hunger, did no extra exercise and had my blood glucose levels back down within a month. Full remission takes longer mainly because the HbA1C test is testing glycated red blood cells which live around 3 months and so is like a 3 month average. The best tool I found for managing my Blood Glucose levels was a blood glucose monitor. because that give immediate feedback if my body handles the carbohydrates well in a meal I've just eaten. The most recommended BG meters in the 2 UK diabetes forums for decent accuracy and with cheaper test strips are: SD Gluco Navii Spirit TEE2+ I use the latter. Here is the 'Nutriional Thingy' [URL]https://josekalsbeek.blogspot.com/2019/11/the-nutritional-thingy.html[/URL] Edited to add link to 'thingy' [/QUOTE]
