Been on here a while but never posted.
I have had type 2 diabetes for around 20 years control just got worse as time went on I was up to 9 tablets a day doctor said if we can’t get it under control insulin is the next step. So the wife said again why don’t you try that low carb diet, and again I said no, I just love my carbs, anyway got up one morning and decided to try it big time went from 500 plus carbs a day to 20 or below, then spent the next 3 weeks feeling terrible went to doctors after first week because I felt so bad told him I had started the diet and he seemed pleased he weighed me I I had lost nearly half a stone in less than a week my blood pressure had dropped so he stopped one of my tablets, so I thought just keep at it now how bad I felt, anyway to the point I am now on 3 tablets a day I don’t take any tablets for blood pressure now and at last I’m starting to feel better, blood sugars are normal 5.5 ish and I hope to stop tablets altogether so if you are thinking about doing the low carb just do it but it is not easy at first but you will get there

Hi friends well I have had today breakfast two boiled eggs one ryvita that is my regular breakfast now.

Lunch well supposed to be lunch, fish and chips,but only a very few chips and the white fish no fried butter.

But oh dear let myself get talked into treacle sponge and custard.Yes I know I should have turned my hearing aids off.

This evening I had nothing as not being used to such sweet desserts now I have had a bad tummy all afternoon and not felt my usually happy self.
But I have learnt my lesson.


Weight. 16.3

Hi Motherhen2014,
I hope your doing as well as you expect to be doing, whilst dealing with this beast of a condition, we're all burdened with!!!

I know we are suppose to watch everything we eat, but if we don't step out of our comfort zone every once and a while, then this whole process becomes boring and puts us in a state of mind of "whats the bloody use." Which in itself can inevitably cause one to sort of give up altogether, so I feel it's okay to reward ourselves every now and again. So I wouldn't go beating yourself up over this one time journey of enjoyment, as I bet you enjoyed it at the time, just maybe not later on.

Hi Motherhen2014,
How are you feeling this morning, or (Night) as good as one can expect to be, with this condition to deal with, I hope?

I'm sorry to hear that after several days, you are still feeling the affects of your Treacle Sponge and Custard, venture into the past and I truly hope you get back on track, in the foreseeable future.
