[QUOTE="TriciaWs, post: 2423590, member: 475901"] Time was people believed that we could not get T2 diabetes into remission and that many/most would progress to needing insulin and too many lose eyesight, develop such bad neuropathy it affected walking and maybe lose toes/feet. My mother was one of these and went almost blind and could barely shuffle a few steps - but could not give up cakes and sweets. I would take lower carb treats when I visited but her carers used to supply the sugary stuff and the 'very sheltered' accommodation she was in had two or three parties a week with cake, biscuits. squash to drink and a few white bread sandwiches with ham or cheese. Not even the so-called Eatwell plate was as bad! My GP agreed I could try low carb first before accepting the statins and metformin, but in spite of this success I haven't heard of anyone else being offered low carb there and the other doctors at the practice always tell me I am on a low carb/HIGH FAT diet and tell me it isn't good for me. In spite of thousands of us demonstrating that low carb works - whether we get into remission or stabilise/reduce the drugs while keeping BS under control - the medical profession as a whole hasn't caught up.
