[QUOTE="normanparcis, post: 135731, member: 1169"] Hi I've been a type 2 diabetic for approx 6 years and in that time I have progressed from a small amount of metformin a day to Metfomin,gliclazide and Insulin in large doses. The discussions on low carb diets on this site are informative and I have recently restricted my carb intake at each meal to see the effect.A lot of physical exercise like gardening/digging also helps. The results for me on low carbs has been a reduction in insulin injections from 58 units a day to 52 units a day and my blood sugar readings are more under control. I am actualy keeping in the 5-7 range for a large part of the day which for me is a great result. I can only recommend from personal experience but weighing the carbohydrates that you are eating and more exercise does seem to be the way forward.( I do cheat occasionaly with chocolate etc but this carbohydrate reduction does seem to be working on my sugar levels) Best of luck for you working out what works for you Norman [/QUOTE]
