Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chook" data-source="post: 1476542" data-attributes="member: 24561">A lot of us here have found that low carb works - in my case low carbing has reduced my blood glucose to a point  where I was able to come off insulin and reduce/stop other meds.  I now eat a low carb healthy fats diet to keep my blood glucose at a level that is below even pre-diabetes level.  That is not to say that I am no longer diabetic - I have to be careful with what I eat and I know that if I went back to eating the way I used to I'd be back to injecting insulin within a couple of days.It might seem a bit confusing at first but it is really surprising how quickly it becomes automatic to choose low carb foods and it really has made me feel so much better.Unfortunately I am not one of the lucky ones to automatically lose weight on it - I lost five stones during the first eight months but have put some of that back on.  Oddly enough my husband used to look enviously at my low carb foods and has decided to join me eating this way even though he is far from being diabetic.  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Give it a try - you've got nothing to lose.</blockquote>
