I love my carbs too, and really miss some of them. But when I was diagnosed with T2D, I was determined to beat it. I almost exactly one year out from diagnosis. Low carb really worked in fixing my blood glucose, and I also lost a tone of weight (135 lbs and counting).

When I reach my goal of sticking to hard-core low carb until the end of this year, I plan to explore reintroducing some low carb versions of some favorites back in to my diet and see how I do.
