Getting back to my question, I have been exercising and eating primarily veggies with a small portion of protein for years, some days a piece of fruit, but I moved from pre-diabetic to diabetic and my insulin levels are low. My mother was diabetic, as are three of my brothers. To cut out more carbs I will need to fully eliminate fruit and even more veggies. I've already stopped eating carrots, potatoes, beets, squash and tomatoes, years ago. Seriously, I've been working on this for at least 8 years; things are moving in the wrong direction; and I don't know what more to do.
