[QUOTE="seadragon, post: 1127172, member: 195124"] The diabetes thing did seem to take over for a while and it is shocking and upsetting and confusing at first. Took me quite some weeks to work out what was worth listening to/ reading and what wasn't. I didn't discover this forum for quite a while and wished I had found it earlier to benefit from the wealth of experience of actual diabetics on here. I was given the leaflet from Diabetes UK but found they just followed NHS guides and diets which i now believe to be entirely unsuitable for diabetics and much of the information was aimed at insulin using diabetics rather than trying to help those wanting to avoid medications. I read a load of books from Dr Bernstein, Dr Cavan etc etc and that's why I liked the diet doctor site so much as it seemed to bring together all the latest research in one place and have well documented success stories and clear information on the LCHF lifestyle and why it works. You are probably better off not having been given much info from doctors since NHS is still pushing it's Eatwell plate even for diabetics and I can't see how that can do anything other than make you sicker since they emphasise starchy carbs at every meal (if I followed their advice i'd have increased my carb intake considerably over what I ate before). I can see why the NHS believe Type 2 is a progressive disease as if you follow their advice it will be. If instead you follow LCHF (or if you are masochistically inclined The Newcastle Diet which seems to work for many but involves 8 weeks of severe deprivation and I'm not into starving and suffering), then you will be much better off and stand a much better chance of regaining non-diabetic blood sugar levels. Do also have a look at the LCHF forum on here dn read the success stories too for inspiration. For me it's been life- changing in a positive way as I am so much healthier and fitter now and i'd never have had the motivation to change otherwise. [/QUOTE]
