Hi, I've recently been diagnosed with diabetes (awaiting confirmation of Mody with a specialist appointment at the end of June), my Hba1c on diagnosis was 48 then the following month it was 49. I've been given very little guidance from the diabetes nurse and my doctor and was basically told that I was no longer under their care and that I was to wait to see the specialist as they didn't know what to do with me.
I decided to do my own research and have discovered through this forum that following a LCHF diet is a good idea to bring blood sugar levels down and to lose weight, however my concern is that I've been losing weight recently without trying too and I'm already underweight for my height with a BMI of 17. So I was wondering if anyone knew if it was a good idea to try the LCHF diet as I really do not wish to lose anymore weight? I am reluctant to discussing with my GP surgery as I feel they have not been very supportive since diagnosis.
Thank you in advance.
