[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2223156, member: 506169"] Congratulations that you have a DN who is clued up enough to mention cutting carbs. I will get criticised for saying this but, for certain (very few) people WW or SW can work though I think the[B] success rate is below 2% [/B]and failure using them will inevitably make things worse. Low Carb, either using Diabetes.co.uk 's own Low Carb program (available on NHS prescription), or [URL='http://www.DietDoctor']www.DietDoctor[/URL] 's one, or just do it yourself from free information and the Low Carb Forum here is a much better option to try (no downside if it doesn't work for you). The [B]success rate varies[/B] depending upon the program , but it is [B]from as low as 26% up to as high as 60%[/B]. Dr David Unwin's GP practice in Southport has a current success rate of 50% for Low Carb. Since you are taking Insulin, if you try Low Carb you will need to take it slowly doing lots of testing and getting your dose adjusted so as to avoid a Hypo. But others have managed to do this by recording keeping track of Blood Glucose readings and gaining assistance from their Health Care Professional - even if that HCP was initially not supportive of Low Carb.
