[QUOTE="Chook, post: 1420219, member: 24561"] Yes, Rosie, I do. I've had recurring bouts of depression all my life - but you must not let it stop you from taking care of yourself. I know it's easy to say that and much, much harder to do it but being 'in control' is actually really good for your mental AND physical health. About the diagnosis: the way I look at it is that I would rather have the diagnosis and grab the opportunity to make changes that will keep me healthy rather than carry on as I was feeling more and more rubbish every day. The best way forward is to treat the diagnosis as a big loud wake up call and do a lot of research in to what you can do to improve your diet and health (kinda looked on it like a project). Over the years I've come to believe that us diabetics have an intolerance to carbs - almost like an allergy to them - so you need to eat as few as you can. Yes, I also agree that low carbing is the best way to reduce blood sugars. It also helps to get a blood sugars meter so you cab see how what you are eating is affecting you. [/QUOTE]
