I suggest you buy Dr, Michael Mosley's book, ' The 8Week Blood Sugar Diet'. Read it all, then follow the recipes. It is aLow Carb diet and really works. When you have finished the 8 weeks, follow up with his 'Fast Diet' book to maintain your weight.I started the diet when I was 17.1 stone, after the 8 weeks I was 13.10stone.Good afternoon, I have been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes for over 3 years and am still confused about diet. I dont test my blood sugar levels at home as my Diabetes Nurse told me I didnt need to. I go to my annual Diabetes reviews.
I need to lose a substantial amount of weight and all I do is faff. I followed Weight Watchers and lost 1 1/2 stones quite quickly but my blood sugars were up at my annual review. I followed Slimming World but I struggled and ate the same thing daily and got bored - I know thats my own fault. But my blood sugars did lower. I am now Calorie Counting but am worried that even though I will lose weight, will my blood sugars reduce.
I am getting conflicting advise from many 'experts', none of which have Diabetes but seemingly know everything. This may sound harsh but none of them are diet experts or medical experts.
So I suppose what I am asking is - which diets would you recommend which means you lose weight and lower blood sugar levels.
I know we are all different but would really appreciate any advice. Many thanks. xx

Just a heads up, this thread is a couple months old and @dawniet joined back in 2014. She hasn't logged in in a few weeks so we may not get a very quick reply back. Hopefully, she's found some success since then.Hi @dawniet! and Welcome to the forum-I will tag @daisy1 for you with some information that we give newcomers to the forum. Her message contains a link to the free low carb program here as well. Many have used it with great success, especially for the first 15 pounds of weight loss with reduced blood glucose numbers. I personally am just counting carbs and calories and trying to lose weight weight very slowly-5 lbs at a time because fast weight loss triggers gout for me.
I noticed that as I was spell checking my reply-someone tagged me in on it and so I went ahead and posted-I thought it might help someone else as well.Just a heads up, this thread is a couple months old and @dawniet joined back in 2014.
