[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2405316, member: 196898"] Not really. I have become more carb tolerant, so I use that to eat foods that I used to shun, and I believe I vary it enough to cover most of my bases. I supplement D3 since I am not getting out much at the moment, but apart from the occasional mineral supp, I rely on my diet to provide what I need. I am not so much Low Carb as Low(ish) carb, and eat around 100-150g/d and I include multigrain bread in most meals. I have relaxed my criteria from where I was and find a comfortable mid point where I control my sugars, but can share my meals with my family who are nondiabetic. One other comment on supplements. Do not be tempted to add much Vitamin E to the shopping list, since this has been shown to be toxic in doses over 1000 mg.d But nutritionists seem to be pushing E as an antioxidant and to use large doses to 'aid healing' Errrm? NIMBY! The other one to be careful of (but not needed according to your results anyway) is iron intake. since we only excrete excess iron by blood letting or leeches and it can build up to dangerous levels.
