[QUOTE="Sam50, post: 1756810, member: 419035"] hi [USER=472264]@Neilysqueely[/USER] and welcome to the forum. I joined last year to support Hubby when he was diagnosed T2 in June (started off with an HbA1c of 98 ad now down to 54 through diet and exercise (no meds) He follows the low carb mode of eating and lost 2 stone ( I followed suit to keep him company and also lost 2.5 stone) He has got his BP back in the normal ranges for the first time in decades and quite honestly has never looked or felt better ! Diabetes is a complex disorder and different for everyone. Main thing to remember is that diabetics (Ts) are carb intolerant and their bodies can only cope with small amounts. Not the 'healthy' amounts that we are always told is good for us so......less bread, potatoes, rice, pasta, pizza , all cereals and sugary fruit and veg. Don't worry there is still plenty that you CAN eat ! It's not just about cutting out the obvious sugary drinks and cakes/biscuits. Take a look at [URL="http://www.dietdoctor.co.uk"]www.dietdoctor.co.uk[/URL] for recipe ideas and buy yourself a blood glucose meter so you can test yourself to see how you react to different foods. And ask whatever you need to know here on the forum-it's a very supportive place x [/QUOTE]
