[QUOTE="Deleted member 475901, post: 1860465"] I went low carb as soon as I was diagnosed this year, as I really did not want to add metformin into my other drugs and I knew that people had gone into remission on the low carb programme. It was a struggle at first, a major change from my previous diet attempts. But my blood sugar results were in the normal range in less than two weeks, and have stayed down. I started on 100g carbs a day, then down to 85-90g. You can start at 120g if that is easier, or even as high as 150g at first. Some people go far lower than 85g, but that works for me. I don't feel hungry. I still have a sweet tooth but am learning to cope with 85% chocolate, a square at a time, with coconut flour cakes or stevia sweetened ice cream sometimes. I was finding the extra cooking a big issue, but have coped with frozen veg, ready chopped onions, prepared salads, etc. And as a side effect I've lost over 2 stone, which is a miracle for me as I hardly exercise and spend a large amount of time in bed.
