It sounds as though you have fantastic support from your GP! I was diagnosed last year and am totally confused about the information I was given on the DESMOND course (eat regular carbs in smaller portions) and people on the online forums who are having great success with very low carb and, in many cases, keto. I could not go as low as they do but can easily lower mine to 50 - 75g per day. I've always enjoyed small portions of whole grain rice and pasta once a week and love porridge but need to decide which advice to follow! Anyway, thanks again and I will designate some study time each day over the next few weeks - I actually enjoy that. I have noted the name of the alternative to Metformin- I take 500mg SR - thank you. You obviously take very good care of yourself and advice is always welcome!
