CUTTING DOWN ON CARBS CAN CHANGE HOW YOU FEEL

Get inspired by Ian

Ian followed a strict diet when he was diagnosed, but his diabetic symptoms got worse. He developed leg pain, which made doing anything active difficult.

He was advised to cut down on carbs, so he gave up potatoes, bread, and breakfast cereal.

Immediately his blood sugar improved and he started feeling better. In three months he was back on the tennis court.

He now sticks to a low carb diet to stay healthy. He never gets hungry.

Ian was diagnosed with diabetic neuropathy in 2000.
