[QUOTE="julie1881, post: 643327, member: 130044"] [B]Almost 3 weeks ago I was diagnosed with Type 1 or maybe it could be type 2 - only my consultant can decide and that won't be until November! I was given an insulin pen and over the past few weeks I've had to change the amount I take - I was limiting what I ate and was glad to see the dietitian who told me nothing was off limits but in moderation & a lot of really useful things - but my diet is where I am really struggling. I'm 51 years old (female) - I know what I like and don't like and I know I have to eat 'healthy' for my own sake - but at tea time I don't always want a 'big' meal - I don't mean portion size I just mean like meat and 2 veg - I hate veg - the thought of eating another piece of broccoli is making me feel ill at the thought! I don't like rice or pasta either & it is taking me all my time and effort to eat it! I just want beans on toast (brown or seeded bread) I want to eat cheese on toast - or have a bowl of cereal - how do I reconcile the two - I'm literally forcing myself to eat most of the time what I don't want because I want to live a normal life but my eating isn't normal - breakfast - dinner and supper are ok - but I've been told to have a snack mid morning & afternoon - I don't do snacks - again I am forcing myself - has anyone got any ideas? I am trying so hard but I don't want this evening meal to become a problem [/B] [/QUOTE]
