Whatever WOE you settle on for bg control, if it works, it should be

considered for life unless adjustment is needed because the diabetes

has changed, which does happen.

Almost all diets get blamed when the person who has lost weight (or

controlled their bg's) goes off the diet and then gains the weight

back (or loses bg contfol)! It is not the diet that caused the

weight-gain or control loss. It is the " going off the diet " that has

caused the problem.

Admittedly, many " diets " would be virtually impossible to maintain for

life, but going totally back to the old WOE will surely lead to

failure. Many have been there. I know I have!
