[QUOTE="Dillinger, post: 279126, member: 13582"] That advice makes me despair. But the upside is that you have found this forum within a month of diagnosis if you read about limiting your carbs and watching what effect what you do eat has on your blood sugars then you'll be fine. The advice from your nurse is the equivalent of saying to someone with a nut allergy; make sure you eat nuts at every meal but just remember to take your antihistamine too, although with you she's saying we'll look at giving you some antihistamine after 3 months so it's almost worse than that... Your pancreas will be able to tolerate a certain amount of carbohydrate; you need to find what type and how much that is. In terms of weight loss my personal opinion is that there is no better way to reduce weight that to reduce your carbohydrate intake ideally to a level where you are in a state where you metabolize fat; a ketotic state. Have a search around this site for more information, but the basics of that diet is the fact that carbohydrates drive insulin production which drives fat accumulation. Best Dillinger [/QUOTE]
