Hi everyone,
I've just been reading through the posts on low carb diets after reading Blood Sugar 101 by Jenny Ruhl.
which contradicts most of what I have been told in the 3 years since I was diagnosed! I am mid 50's male and have been controlling with diet thus far however my last 2 hba1cs have revealed an upward trend from 7 to 8.9 and Metformin @ 3 a day has had no effect. Am expecting to be prescribed gliclazide next week and generally feeling a bit low and apprehensive about it all so it is great to have this forum to turn to. I will let you know how things go over the coming weeks and hopefully feel more positive if the glic and low carb diet work!
