[QUOTE="Kaz261, post: 1790473, member: 220230"] Hi lozzinthespace and welcome. I just wanted to say that I’ve been where you are so I can fully sympathise and empathise! I’ve also now come out the other side and live a relatively full life. Yes my diet is restricted compared to those around me and sometimes this gets me down, but it has just become a new way of life. A healthier one! I started by reducing my carbs (and being more picky about the ones I did eat - whole grains, slow release etc) and ate little and often. Once I felt in a better place, I reduced my carbs further and increased my fat and protein. I did lots of testing after meals to see what I could tolerate. Once I started to feel better, I didn’t dare change anything for a while through fear of my hypo hell days returning! Over time I became more confident (and bored with the foods I was eating!) so I began experimenting. The internet is full of low carb recipes both savoury and sweet. Some are better than others, but I now have quite a collection of recipes that both me and my family love! As for getting out. I always make sure I have a biscuit in case I go low and some nuts or a low carb nut bar with me. If we have a family day out, I’ll always make myself a salad to take in case I can’t find anything suitable. It’s a bit of a pain, but it’s just part of getting ready for the day. In the early days, I stopped going out. Thought family days out were a thing of the past (I have two young children so I also felt bad for them as Mummy could no longer take them places), BUT with a bit extra planning and forward thinking you CAN live a normal (ish) life again and enjoy yourself! I could be wrong, but you sound like a younger person? Please try to stay positive. You can have a fulfilling and happy life with RH. All the best Kaz [/QUOTE]
