[QUOTE="rowan, post: 750974, member: 85095"] Don't worry Remgem you're not alone. I explained my story in my intro "Had a kick up the backside" and it was a kick that has changed my whole outlook over the last couple of weeks or so. Other illnesses took priority for a few years, diabetes took a back seat because it wasn't painful and disabling like the others, but getting a high HBA1C gave me a real shock, and scared me into accepting that if I don't change my ways my diabetes could not only become painful and disabling, but could kill me. I've been on the low carb high fat diet for just a couple of weeks, never thought I could give up sugar, bread, pots, rice, pasta, but it's not been as hard as I thought (nothing like a shock to change your ways!) and I've found alternatives and have halved my glucose levels, have lost weight already and feel much better for it. There is a forum here for the lchf diet that well worth reading, it really does work, and quickly, worth a try? I'm sure there are many others here who have similar stories of denial or just not knowing the right/wrong foods to eat, just stick with the forum, read all you can and ask whatever questions you want, there's always someone who knows the answer. You might want to get a book called Carbs & Cals to start with, it will really help. Good luck with it all, but I'm sure you can do it, if I can anyone can ;) [/QUOTE]
