[QUOTE="rachaelc, post: 2318390, member: 149887"] I've been T2D since 1998, until about 3/4yrs ago the NHS dietary advice was high carb, low fat, so I ate pasta/rice/potatoes to get my energy levels. I found it impossible to lose weight. At one point I queried the low carb diet/high fat. When I discussed with the practice dietician, she poo poo'd it saying it was only used in Australia & Canada. It's nonsense that anyone is still touting high carb /low fat. We now know that carbs are stored as fat in the body and raise sugar levels. Since I got myself onto a moderately low carb diet I've managed to control my weight. I'm sure if I opted for tighter control I'd lose more and may lower my blood sugar, but I'm stable and happy with that. A good way to start is to reduce heavy carbs to no more than 25% of your plate. Now GPs guilt trip you if you're not on low carb. [/QUOTE]
