[QUOTE="KeithT 2, post: 1879667, member: 469507"] This post is so encouraging and thank you for it. I too took back control of my type 2 of 16 years with this disease at the end of 2017 by lowering the amount of carbs I was eating. Since December 2017 I have brought my numbers down from double digits to prediabetes and non-diabetes levels. My last review a couple of weeks back showed that I had lost 21 lbs in weight, so down to 163.8 lbs. My HbA1c before my self imposed diet changes was 50 so it will be interesting to see what it is when I see the diabetic nurse on the 9th of October. Hopefully I can skip some medication if not all. I have always said that people in general eat far to many carbs and sugary stuff on a daily basis: cereal and toast for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch, pizza, or pasta for the evening meal along with potatoes in all their forms, pastry, sugary drinks, etc, etc. There is nothing wrong with carbs but they are far worse than calories for piling on the weight. I now eat carbs up until after lunch (but don't always have carbs for lunch) and then only green carbs after that with the evening meal. If you can manage your own diet it will save a fortune, but clearly, some people do need help in organising their diet changes and low carb programmes can be of great help to those who need them in doing this. What cost our health anyway? Good luck to everyone on this track. It's empowering! [/QUOTE]
