[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1476495, member: 355878"] From my own experience, weightloss has little to do with controlling blood glucose, cut out the densely carb foods and a typical type two should see their numbers going down seek by week until they become normal. With low levels of glucose in the blood your pancreas stops being hysterical and putting out lots of insulin, insulin resistance reduces as you have all the necessary protein and fat to live on whilst your metabolism sorts itself out. You might well lose some body fat, possibly some 'water weight'. I was diagnosed in mid November last year and by early February I had dropped below the diagnostic level of Hba1c for diabetes. Low carb is very effective in lowering blood glucose, so you might want to drop your levels and use a meter to chart your progress rather than stopping them abruptly. I think it is quite a shock to a diabetic metabolism to go 'cold turkey' with carbs. [/QUOTE]
