[QUOTE="PattiT, post: 1881937, member: 382127"] When I was on three different drugs for Type 2 diabetes and my blood glucose was out of control with a HbA1c of 75 I knew I had to do something about it. To be honest I saw the documentary on tv and it frightened me. I had been lurking on this site for some time and tried the LCHF diet but developed high cholesterol and a non-alcohol fatty liver but my BG was somewhat improved. I revised my diet to include carbohydrates in moderation. I have porridge with semi-skilled milk every morning; a huge salad with protein and a low fat, low carb dressing for most lunches (no carbs at lunchtime) and a cooked meal every night with a small portion of potato. rice or pasta, lots of veg and meat, fish or poultry. No snacks but plenty of sugar free peppermint tea and coffee. Somehow I have not got bored with my meals but occasionally really fancy something to eat that I know I shouldn't. I usually manage to resist. My diet is by no means 'low carb' or 'low fat' but is moderate in both and I am aware of portion sizes. I do have a sandwich once a fortnight for lunch but then have mashed swede instead of potato at dinner time. I lost 7 stone in under a year on this diet and am still losing about 1lb a month. I no longer take medication for diabetes with a HbA1c of 36. I consider myself to be a diet controlled diabetic, it certainly isn't reversed, cured or in remission. I did an experiment this lunchtime and ate a high sugar snack and my blood sugar rocked from 4.7 to over 13, which wouldn't happen with a non-diabetic. This forum has taught me such a lot about the contribution carbohydrates make to high blood glucose and I will forever be grateful. [/QUOTE]
